EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ast-chi, Cuisinier du Grand Seigneur, 1714-15" takes us back to the enchanting world of 18th-century France. The unknown creator skillfully captures the essence of this era through an engraved portrait that showcases a man named Ast-chi. Dressed in traditional Levantine attire, Ast-chi stands tall with an air of confidence and pride. As a chef in service to the Grand Seigneur, his occupation holds great importance within the country's culinary heritage. This image allows us to glimpse into his world as he expertly balances tradition and innovation in his profession. The etching and engraving technique used by the artist adds depth and texture to this remarkable piece. Every line tells a story, revealing not only Ast-chi's physical features but also hinting at his character and dedication to his craft. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print is a testament to Jean Baptiste Van Mour's talent for capturing individuals from different walks of life during this period. It serves as a reminder that behind every historical event or grand setting lies ordinary people who contribute their skills and expertise. As we admire this portrait today, we are transported back in time, appreciating both the artistry involved in its creation and gaining insight into the lives of those who played significant roles within society centuries ago.
