About the Item

Description of the Print This print, titled "Italians" (Italiënsen), captures a lively and engaging scene featuring three figures, likely Italian peasants or villagers, engaged in conversation or listening to a song the man is playing. The central figure, a woman in traditional attire, is flanked by two others—a young woman on her right, who is listening intently, and a man on her left, possibly a suitor or a companion, with a more casual demeanor and a musical instrument in his hand. The setting suggests an outdoor location with rolling hills or vineyards in the background, contributing to a pastoral and picturesque atmosphere typical of 19th-century genre scenes. Artist: - A. Charraud: The artist responsible for the original drawing or painting. Charraud was known for his detailed and colorful portrayals of everyday life, often focusing on cultural or regional subjects. Publisher: - Lebeau & Co.: The publisher of the print, a well-known name in the 19th-century printmaking industry, ensuring the work was distributed to a wide audience. Lithographer: - H. Rochussen: The lithographer who translated Charraud’s artwork into a lithographic print. Rochussen was skilled in capturing the fine details and vibrant colors of the original work, making it accessible to a broader audience. Date of Publication: - 1835: The print was produced in the year 1835, a period when such cultural and genre scenes were popular among European audiences, often depicting romanticized views of life in different regions. What Makes This Print Interesting: This print is notable for its vivid portrayal of Italian rural life, capturing a moment of casual interaction between the characters. The details in the clothing, expressions, and setting are finely rendered, offering a glimpse into the customs and fashions of the time. The scene is both intimate and picturesque, inviting viewers to engage with the narrative and speculate about the relationship between the characters. The rich colors and the careful composition reflect the romanticized view of Italy that was popular in European art during the 19th century. Condition: The print is in fair to good condition, with some minor age-related wear visible. There are slight discolorations, particularly along the margins, but the hand-colored elements remain vibrant and clear. The paper is intact with no major tears or creases, preserving the overall quality and appeal of the artwork.
