EDITORS COMMENTS
Fishing from a Window," plate three from Salomon Gessner's series "Paysages Dédiés à M. Warelet," created in 1764, is an exquisite etching on cream laid paper that showcases the beauty and tranquility of the natural world. The scene depicts a man, dressed in the fashion of the Rococo era, perched at a window overlooking an idyllic estuary. With a fishing rod in hand, he casts a line into the calm waters, his concentration broken only by the gentle company of a male friend who looks on from the riverbank. The background is filled with lush greenery, including trees and plants that frame the scene and add depth to the composition. The geographical feature of the estuary, with its winding river and mouth, is a testament to the rich geography of the region. The entrance to the gallery or art institute where this print might be displayed beckons visitors to step inside and immerse themselves in the world of Salomon Gessner, a Swiss artist from the eighteenth century known for his landscapes and dedication to the beauty of nature. The black and white, or bw, print invites contemplation and reflection, transporting viewers to a simpler time and place, where the pleasures of the natural world and the company of friends were the greatest treasures. This etching is a reminder of the heritage of art and the enduring appeal of the natural world, inviting us to appreciate the beauty of the past and the present. Whether viewed in a gallery or institute, or as a print in a private collection, "Fishing from a Window" is a timeless work of art that continues to inspire and delight.
