EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph by Celestin Nanteuil, titled "Night; vignette of girl in 18th-century costume picking roses on verso" transports us to the enchanting world of 18th-century France. The image showcases a young woman dressed in an exquisite period costume, delicately plucking roses under the luminous glow of a full moon. Nanteuil's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition. The intricate folds and ruffles of the girl's dress evoke the elegance and refinement associated with the era. Her graceful posture exudes a sense of tranquility as she engages with nature amidst a picturesque riverside setting. The artist skillfully incorporates elements from both science and mythology into this scene. Above, constellations dot the night sky, reminding us of our place within the vastness of the solar system. A majestic owl perched nearby symbolizes wisdom while birds soar gracefully overhead. Through this artwork, Nanteuil invites us to reflect upon themes such as timelessness, femininity, and our connection to nature. The juxtaposition between past and present creates an intriguing narrative that transcends time itself. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to Nanteuil's mastery as an artist and his ability to capture not only physical beauty but also evoke emotions through his work. It is truly a treasure that allows us to immerse ourselves in history while appreciating artistry at its finest.
