EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a study for the frontispiece of "Varie Vedute del Gentile" by Jean-Baptiste Le Prince. Created around 1755, this artwork is a testament to Le Prince's exceptional talent and attention to detail. The piece measures 12.8x18.5 cm and is currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago. The composition features a picturesque landscape with rolling hills, serene waters, and charming rural huts in the background. In the foreground, we see a group of women engaged in fishing activities using rods and nets. One woman stands prominently at the center, her figure gracefully captured by Le Prince's pen and brown ink technique. The artist's meticulous brushwork adds depth and texture to the scene, while the use of black chalk on ivory laid paper creates an intriguing contrast against the ivory wove paper it is tipped onto. Le Prince masterfully captures both the beauty of nature and everyday life in this study for his frontispiece. Through his skillful rendering of figures engaging in fishing activities amidst a tranquil landscape, he invites viewers into a world where serenity meets productivity. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' high-quality reproduction techniques, this print allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate Le Prince's genius up close without any commercial implications or restrictions on its usage rights
