EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the enchanting coastal landscapes of 18th century Europe. Created by Yves Le Gouaz, this exquisite engraving showcases the beauty of aquatic life against a backdrop of rugged rocks and a natural arch formation. In this scene, we witness a group of fisherfolk, both men and women, engaged in their daily fishing activities. With fishing nets in hand, they stand on the rocky shore as sailing ships dot the horizon. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the delicate lettering to the intricate depiction of each fisherman's attire. This artwork not only captures the essence of European maritime heritage but also embodies the spirit of Enlightenment-era exploration and scientific discovery. It invites us to contemplate man's relationship with nature and our reliance on its bountiful resources. As we gaze upon "The Choice of Fish" we are transported into an era where romanticism meets practicality - where breathtaking scenery coexists with everyday tasks. This print serves as a testament to Yves Le Gouaz's mastery in capturing both geographical features and human interaction within his art. Displayed proudly at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this second state engraving stands as a timeless reminder of our connection to water transport and its significance throughout history.
