EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Children Fishing, ca. 1738" takes us back to the enchanting world of 18th-century France. Created by Pierre Alexandre Aveline, a renowned artist of the time, this exquisite engraving captures the innocence and joy of childhood in a picturesque country setting. In this charming scene, we see two children engrossed in their fishing adventure along a tranquil riverbank. With fishing nets and rods in hand, they eagerly await their next catch as they stand amidst nature's beauty. The attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke of Aveline's etching brings life to the flowing river, lush foliage, and delicate ripples on its surface. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when children found solace in nature's embrace. It reminds us of the timeless pleasure that can be derived from simple activities like fishing - an activity that connects generations across centuries. François Boucher's influence on Rococo art is evident here through Aveline's meticulous execution and portrayal of lightness and grace. This artwork serves as a testament to both artists' mastery in capturing fleeting moments with enduring beauty. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, we are transported into an idyllic realm where laughter echoes through riverside meadows and childhood dreams come alive.
