EDITORS COMMENTS
Benoit-Louis Prevost's Design: Landscape Study, from Encyclopédie, 1762/77, is a captivating black and white etching with engraving on cream laid paper that transports us to the picturesque landscapes of eighteenth-century France. The image, part of the extensive Encyclopédie project, showcases a serene and idyllic scene along the banks of a river. A woman, dressed in the fashion of the time, is seated on the grassy riverbank, her back towards the viewer. She gazes intently at the estuary, where the river meets the sea. The tranquil water reflects the surrounding scenery, which includes trees, plants, and a small town in the distance. The outskirts of the town can be seen on the right, with a few houses and a church visible amongst the trees. The landscape is dotted with various geographical features, including a winding river, a mouth of the river, and an environs filled with trees and plants. Prevost's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricately rendered trees, their branches reaching out to form a canopy over the scene. The woman's delicate features and the gentle curves of the landscape add to the overall sense of peace and harmony. Prevost's Design: Landscape Study, from Encyclopédie, 1762/77, is a testament to the beauty and richness of the natural world and the human connection to it. This rare and exquisite print is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, the eighteenth century, or the natural world.
