EDITORS COMMENTS
Approaching Morestel" is a captivating 19th century artwork by the skilled French artist, Auguste François Ravier. This exquisite piece, created around 1845, is a testament to Ravier's mastery of various artistic mediums, including black chalk, graphite, gray and brown wash, and blue watercolor on pale blue paper. The antique print depicts a rural scene in the picturesque village of Morestel, located in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The drawing begins with a sweeping, panoramic view of the verdant countryside, dotted with trees and rolling hills. The artist's deft use of black chalk and graphite creates a sense of depth and texture, while the gray and brown washes add a subtle, atmospheric quality. The blue watercolor, delicately applied, brings the scene to life with the vibrant hues of the sky and the tranquil waters of a nearby lake. Ravier's attention to detail is evident in the individual trees, each one rendered with care and precision. The artist's ability to capture the unique character of each tree, from their gnarled trunks to their sprawling branches, adds a sense of authenticity to the scene. This evocative drawing invites the viewer to step into the past and experience the beauty and serenity of rural France during the 19th century. It is a valuable addition to any art collection, and a must-see for anyone interested in the history and culture of European art. This artwork is currently housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world. Whether viewed in person or in reproduction, "Approaching Morestel" is a timeless masterpiece that transcends the boundaries of language and culture, and speaks to the universal human desire to connect with the natural world.
