EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures Felix Hilaire Buhot's masterpiece, "Le Tombeau du Diable (The Devils Tomb)" created between 1879 and 1880. This black and white etching showcases the artist's exceptional talent in combining various techniques such as drypoint, aquatint, spirit ground, and roulette to bring his vision to life on Japanese paper. Buhot's artwork depicts a haunting scene of a mausoleum where the Devil himself rests. The concept of death is beautifully intertwined with elements of literature and French culture. Inspired by Jules Amédée Barbey d'Aurevilly's novel "Une Vieille Maîtresse" (An Old Mistress), this piece explores themes of love, passion, and temptation. In the image, we see a couple standing before the tomb; their faces filled with curiosity mixed with fear. The man exudes an air of mystery while the woman appears both intrigued and apprehensive. Lucifer lurks above them as a symbol of temptation, reminding us that even in matters of love there can be darkness lurking beneath. Buhot's attention to detail is evident throughout the print - from the intricate engravings on the tombstone to the delicate shading that adds depth to each figure. This work not only showcases his technical skill but also reflects his ability to convey complex emotions through art. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, this print stands as a testament to Buhot's contribution to 19th-century art.
