Nargeol Adrien Pair Prints Painted Watercolor With Gilded Frames
About the Item
We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects.
Pair of prints engraved by burin and painted in watercolor; both are a tribute to Cupid; the name Cupid - meaning desire, lust - was given by the Romans to the Greek god of love, actually called Eros. Alternatively, he was called just Love always by the Latins. As the son of Aphrodite, goddess of love, he, like his mother, was capable of any act, even deplorable. In the first print, which has been cut out and shaped, there are two young girls offering God a basket of fruit and a goblet of wine; in the second print a mature woman is about to be hit by Cupid's love arrow; both prints have been made with a beautiful burin engraving, then finished with delicate watercolors. The frames are handmade in gilded wood. The prints were made between 1850 and 1855 by Adrien Nargeol (see signature) a prolific and talented French engraver and were published in the "Journal des Demoiselles", a publication founded in Paris in February 1833 by Madame Jeanne-Justine Fouqueau de Pussy; aimed at girls aged 14 to 18 years from wealthy backgrounds, the Journal des Demoiselles devoted a limited portion to education and science, to the benefit of literature, fashion, and theater. The items are in good condition. Measures width cm.32, height cm.25, depth cm.2, prints measures width cm.22, height cm.14. For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the objects.
