EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "General Assembly of the Boyards, Bucharest, Wallachia, July 15, 1837," is a stunning work of art by the renowned French artist, Auguste Raffet. Created in 1839, this masterpiece offers a glimpse into the aristocratic world of the Boyards, an influential council of noblemen in Wallachia, Romania, during the 19th century. The image captures the grandeur and importance of the assembly, as the noblemen gather in the ornate, high-ceilinged hall, dressed in their finest attire. The intricate details of their clothing, from the rich fabrics to the ornate patterns, are expertly rendered in the lithograph's black and white tones. Raffet, a master of lithography, expertly employs the technique of lithotint to create a sense of depth and texture in the image. The use of ivory chine laid down on ivory wove paper adds to the overall elegance and sophistication of the piece. The setting of the assembly in Bucharest, the capital city of Wallachia, further emphasizes the significance of the event. At the time, Wallachia was under the influence of both the Ottoman Empire and Russia, making this gathering of the Boyards a crucial political event. This work of art is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe during the 19th century and offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of the aristocracy. Today, it is housed in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
