The Chapel of the Enfants-Trouves in Paris - Le Roi mage Balthazar et sa suite, 1752
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us to the 18th century. Created by Etienne Fessard, this exquisite piece depicts an enchanting scene from the adoration of the magi. In this image, we witness King Balthazar and his entourage paying homage to the newborn Jesus at the Foundling Hospital in Paris. The intricate details captured through etching and engraving bring life to every element within the composition. Balthazar, adorned in a magnificent headdress, stands tall with grace and reverence as he presents his gift of frankincense. His companions, dressed in traditional African attire, accompany him with camels by their side. The animals add a touch of authenticity to this religious tableau. The Chapel itself serves as a backdrop for this sacred moment. Its grandeur reflects both French architecture and Christian spirituality prevalent during that era. This historical masterpiece not only showcases artistic brilliance but also provides insight into France's rich cultural heritage. Etienne Fessard's meticulous craftsmanship immortalizes this significant event from the New Testament while honoring African culture within a European context. As we gaze upon this remarkable print at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported back in time to witness one of Christianity's most iconic scenes unfold before our eyes.
