Au coin du feu
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a serene domestic scene from the "Soirees parisiennes" series by Henri de Montaut. This charming colour lithograph, housed in the Musee Carnavalet in Paris, transports us to a cozy sitting room of a bourgeois household in 19th-century France. In this idyllic setting, we see a husband and wife enjoying a moment of tranquility by the fireside. The husband is engrossed in reading his newspaper while his wife sits beside him, exuding an air of calmness and relaxation. Their two children are also present, immersed in their own playful world. The son rides on a rocking horse with joyous abandon while the daughter engages her imagination with toys scattered around her. The warm glow of the fire illuminates the room, casting gentle shadows on period costumes worn by each family member. It is evident that this space serves as both refuge and gathering place for this loving family. Montaut's attention to detail brings forth an authentic portrayal of daily life during this era – capturing not only physical surroundings but also emotions and relationships within it. Through "Au coin du feu" we glimpse into an intimate snapshot of French bourgeoisie existence where simplicity intertwines with sophistication. This print invites us to appreciate moments of serenity amidst our busy lives – reminding us to cherish time spent together as families do when gathered around the hearth.
