EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 8 from The Deserter by Sedaine, 1775" is an exquisite etching by Daniel Berger, showcasing a captivating scene from Michel Jean Sedaine's popular opera comique, "Le Deserteur." This 18th-century masterpiece, published in the Berlin Genealogical Calendar, invites us to step into the world of the Theatre National de Opera Comique in Paris during the 1770s. The etching depicts a man, dressed in military attire, standing beneath an archway. The architectural feature, with intricate lettering, frames the scene and adds an air of grandeur. The man, identified as "The Deserter," gazes intently at the ground, seemingly deep in thought. The surrounding crowd, a mix of men and women, watch him with a combination of curiosity, disapproval, and sympathy. The black and white contrast in the image enhances the dramatic effect, drawing the viewer's attention to the intricate details of the scene. The man's posture, the textured fabric of his uniform, and the intricate details of the archway all contribute to the overall sense of depth and realism. This etching, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 18th century, is a fascinating glimpse into the world of opera and the social issues of the time. The Deserter, a common theme in literature and entertainment during this period, represents the complexities of human nature and the consequences of personal choices. The image, with its timeless appeal, continues to captivate and inspire viewers even today. This etching, part of the vast collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to different times and places, and to provoke thought and reflection.
