EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "La Roche, from Views on the Seine" takes us back to 1821, when it was engraved by the talented Thomas Sutherland and published by R. Ackermann. The image showcases a stunning view of La Roche, a picturesque castle nestled along the banks of the Seine River in France. The enchanting chateau stands proudly atop a rain-soaked mound, surrounded by lush greenery and complemented by the tranquil river flowing gently beside it. A peasant wagon can be seen parked near a jetty, adding an element of rustic charm to this idyllic scene. What makes La Roche even more intriguing is its rich history. It served as a haven for François de La Rochefoucauld, author of "Maximes" who found inspiration within these walls during his writing endeavors. Built in the 10th century by Baron Guy, this fortress has witnessed centuries of stories unfold within its sturdy stone walls. During World War II's Battle of Normandy in 1944, Rommel chose La Roche as his headquarters – an unexpected twist that adds another layer to its historical significance. This exceptional print captures not only the beauty but also the depth and allure that emanate from such ancient dwellings like La Roche. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from John Gendall's lens after being inspired by Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported through time and invited to appreciate both nature's splendor and mankind's
