EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Copperplate Engraving, titled "Country," is a beautiful example of the intricate and detailed work produced during the Enlightenment era. Created by the skilled hand of A. J. Defehrt around 1762-1777 for the renowned Encyclopédie, this masterpiece showcases the harmonious blend of art and knowledge that characterized the intellectual climate of the time. Defehrt, also known as Andre Jean Defehrt or A. J. de Fehrt, was a French engraver who worked alongside notable figures such as Antoine Claude Briasson, Benoît Louis Prévost, and Laurent Durand. His expertise in the use of the burin and etching tools is evident in the delicate lines and shading that bring this rural scene to life. The image depicts a tranquil countryside scene, with a winding road leading through a lush green landscape dotted with trees, cottages, and farm buildings. The use of contrasting light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimension, while the meticulous attention to detail in the depiction of the various elements of the scene reveals Defehrt's mastery of the copperplate engraving process. This exquisite artwork is an invaluable addition to any collection of historical art, and its presence in an art center, gallery, or institute would serve to enhance the cultural and educational value of the institution. The image is rendered in black and white on cream laid paper, making it a timeless and elegant piece that would be a source of inspiration and fascination for generations to come.
