EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "La pesche chinoise (Chinese Fishing), from Chinoiseries, after 1743" captures a captivating scene from the 18th century. Created by Jacques Gabriel Huquier, this engraving depicts a busy fishing trip on a river in China. In the foreground of the image, we see a family group consisting of three generations enjoying their time together on a rowing boat. The men are skillfully maneuvering the boat while holding fishing nets, ready to catch their bounty. The women and children observe with curiosity as they witness this traditional Chinese fishing technique. The composition exudes an air of tranquility amidst the bustling activity. The intricate details in Huquier's etching showcase his mastery in capturing both human figures and geographical features with precision. As we delve into this piece, it becomes evident that it is not just about fishing but also about family life and cultural heritage. This snapshot provides us with insight into Chinese society during the eighteenth century – its customs, traditions, and ways of living. Huquier's work transports us back in time to experience an oriental landscape through his artistic lens. It serves as a reminder of how art can bridge gaps between different cultures and allow us to appreciate our shared humanity across centuries. Displayed at The Met museum, this artwork stands as a testament to Francois Boucher's influence on French Rococo art movement while showcasing Huquier's talent for capturing moments frozen in time through engravings like no other artist
