EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite etching, entitled 'View of the front of the Grand Trianon in the garden of Versailles, 1700-1799,' is an anonymous work attributed to the renowned French artist Jacques Rigaud (1659-1743). The image transports us back to the 18th century, offering a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the French monarchy. The Grand Trianon, a charming château located in the gardens of Château de Versailles, is depicted in all its splendor. King Louis XV, known as Louis the Beloved (Louis le Bien-Aimé), is said to have commissioned the construction of this idyllic retreat as a gift for his mistress, Madame de Montespan. In the foreground of the etching, we see a horse-drawn carriage approaching the entrance of the Grand Trianon. Two elegant horses pull the vehicle, while a man and a woman, likely the occupants, gaze out at the magnificent building. In the background, a group of men on horseback can be seen riding in the gardens, while a couple of dogs playfully chase each other. The intricate details of the etching reveal the Dutch and Netherlandish influences that were popular during the 18th century. The meticulous depiction of the Grand Trianon and its surroundings is a testament to the artistic skill and cultural significance of the time. This etching is a valuable addition to any art collection, offering a window into the rich history and heritage of France and Europe during the Age of Enlightenment.
