EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Le Secret du Maitre Cornille (The Secret of Master Cornille), c. 1885" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century France. Created by French artist Félix Hilaire Buhot, this etching showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. Set in a picturesque countryside, the scene depicts a man standing outside a rustic building, believed to be Master Cornille's secret hideaway. Surrounded by various animals including cats and an ass, the man appears deep in thought as he holds a book in his hand. Perhaps he is pondering over the secrets contained within its pages or contemplating the mysteries that lie behind those weathered walls. Buhot's masterful use of etching techniques brings out remarkable textures and contrasts on Japanese paper. The intricate lines and delicate shading create a sense of depth and atmosphere, transporting viewers into this idyllic rural setting. This artwork is inspired by Alphonse Daudet's renowned collection of short stories called "Lettres de mon Moulin" or "Letters from My Windmill". It beautifully captures the essence of Daudet's literary work while showcasing Buhot's artistic prowess. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, this print stands as a testament to both French literature and visual arts during the 19th century. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate art enthusiasts who appreciate Buhot's skillful craftsmanship and ability to evoke emotion
