EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "La locomotive, 1873" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century railways. Created by the talented French artist Felix Bracquemond, this piece pays homage to J. M. W. Turner's iconic painting "Rain, Steam and Speed". Bracquemond skillfully captures the essence of Turner's masterpiece through his drypoint engraving technique. The image transports us to a time when steam locomotives ruled the tracks with their power and elegance. The Great Western Railway (GWR) is depicted in all its glory as it cuts through a picturesque landscape in France. The train hurtles forward at full speed, leaving behind billowing clouds of steam that blend harmoniously with the surrounding countryside. Bracquemond's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his etching. From the intricate machinery of the locomotive to the subtle play between light and shadow on its metallic surface, he brings life to this historical moment. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of how transportation has shaped our world throughout history. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and progress while also evoking a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. Displayed proudly at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print stands as an enduring tribute not only to Bracquemond's artistic prowess but also to Joseph Mallord William Turner's lasting influence on generations of artists who followed him.
