EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an etching titled "Ratcatcher mid late 17th century" by Abraham Bosse, a renowned French artist from Tours. The second state of this artwork, measuring approximately 8 9/16 x 5 7/8 inches (218 x 149 cm), transports us back to the noble and gentlemanly combat against misfortune during the tumultuous era of war. Bosse's expertise in etching is evident as he skillfully depicts a ratcatcher amidst a chaotic scene where the whole earth seems to tremble. As death cries out, rats scurry about, symbolizing the pestilence that plagued society at that time. Inspired by Jacques Callot's innovations in perspective construction, Bosse developed new means to create depth and realism in his works. Notably, Bosse was also an esteemed teacher at the French Royal Academy for over a decade. His mastery is reflected not only in this particular piece but also through numerous prints capturing everyday Parisian life. The Liszt Collection presents this remarkable print as an homage to Bosse's artistic prowess and his contribution to the world of etching. It serves as a testament to his ability to encapsulate historical moments with great detail and emotion while offering viewers a glimpse into the past.
