EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Discreet 1789" we are transported back to the year of great historical significance. Created by the talented French artist Augustin de Saint-Aubin, this etching and engraving showcases his exceptional skill in capturing intricate details. The composition invites us into a world shrouded in secrecy and whispers. A sense of intrigue permeates the scene as figures gather clandestinely, their faces masked with expressions both curious and cautious. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke, from the delicate folds of their garments to the subtle play of light and shadow. As we delve deeper into this artwork, it becomes clear that Saint-Aubin seeks to convey more than just a mere moment frozen in time. There is an underlying message urging discretion, reminding us that sometimes silence can be our greatest ally. The sizeable sheet dimensions allow for an immersive experience, drawing us closer to examine each figure's posture and gesture. It serves as a reminder that even during tumultuous times like those of 1789, there were individuals who understood the power of subtlety amidst chaos. This print from Liszt Collection captures not only Saint-Aubin's artistic prowess but also provides a glimpse into an era defined by political upheaval and social unrest. It serves as a testament to how art can transcend time and transport viewers across centuries while still resonating with universal themes such as discretion and secrecy.
