EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a panel from a series depicting the Four Elements, specifically focusing on the element of Air. Created around 1730 by an anonymous French School artist during the Louis XV Period, this polychrome wood artwork is now housed in Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France. The panel exudes an enchanting blend of Chinese and French influences with its chinoiserie style and traditional costumes. A male and female figure gracefully float amidst a celestial backdrop, accompanied by a majestic dragon soaring above them. The air seems to come alive as musicians play melodious tunes while perched atop pagodas. A sense of harmony pervades this scene as even birds join in the ethereal symphony, adding their own musical notes to the composition. The vibrant colors used in this piece bring forth a visual feast for the eyes, further enhancing its allure. Originally located in Hotel de Richelieu at Place des Vosges, this exquisite artwork transports us back to an era where artistry knew no boundaries. It serves as a testament to the creativity and imagination that flourished during that time. Through this print captured by Fine Art Finder from www. bridgemanimages. com, we are granted access to appreciate and admire this remarkable masterpiece that encapsulates both cultural diversity and artistic brilliance.
