EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "A representation of February, 1757" by artist Bernard de Montfaucon, takes us back to the elegant world of the 18th century. The image depicts a woman standing gracefully with a duck and a heron at her side, symbolizing aquatic life. In her hands, she holds a fish and an urn representing rain, alluding to the weather characteristic of this month. The engraving showcases intricate details in the woman's dress as well as delicate lettering that adds depth to the illustration. The monochrome palette enhances the timeless beauty of this piece while capturing the essence of its era. Montfaucon's work is part of his book Supplement au livre de L'antiquite expliquee et representee en figures (Supplement to the Book on Explained and Represented Antiquity), published in Paris in 1757. This particular print now resides in a private collection. Through this allegorical composition, Montfaucon invites viewers into an enchanting world where nature intertwines with human existence. It serves as both an artistic expression and a reminder of how art can capture not only physical appearances but also symbolic meanings. With its meticulous attention to detail and profound symbolism, this print continues to be treasured for its historical significance and aesthetic appeal.
