EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Jacques from The Complete Works of Beranger, 1836" takes us back to the 19th century in France. Created by Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard, also known as J. J. Grandville, this wood engraving captures a moment of concern and worry within a domestic setting. In the image, we see Jacques, a husband and father, peacefully asleep in his bedchamber while his wife stands beside him with an expression of alarm on her face. This scene evokes a sense of mystery as we wonder what might have caused her distress. Perhaps Jacques is facing some troubles or challenges that weigh heavily on their marriage and family life. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every line etched into the wood brings out the emotions felt by each character. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, intensifying the overall atmosphere. As we gaze upon this print at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported back in time to witness an intimate moment between two individuals who share both love and worries. It serves as a reminder that even during peaceful slumber, concerns can linger beneath the surface. Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard's work continues to captivate audiences today with its ability to evoke emotion through intricate engravings like this one.
