EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pair of Double-Leaf Doors from the 1790s, painted by Pierre II Rousseau. The doors, made of wood and coated with oil paint, are an exquisite example of architectural detail in the neo-classical style. Originally adorned with imitation dark wood grain, these doors underwent a transformation over time. The skilled hands of another craftsman scraped off the dark color surrounding the classical designs, revealing a more intricate and delicate pattern beneath. This restoration process has recently been completed, allowing us to appreciate the doors' original beauty once again. Displayed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this artwork is part of their collection thanks to Grace Rainey Rogers' generous gift in memory of her father William J. Rainey. The photograph captures every minute detail and texture on these magnificent doors. These double-leaf doors not only serve as functional entrances but also stand as works of art themselves. Their design reflects the shifting styles and tastes prevalent during that era. With its rich history and meticulous craftsmanship, this piece offers viewers a glimpse into 18th-century architecture and artistic expression.
