EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "I tried to escape from this philological discussion" artist Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard, also known as J. J. Grandville, transports us back to 19th century France. The scene depicts a bustling street where two men engrossed in conversation stand amidst a crowd of people. Grandville's satirical approach is evident in his caricature-like portrayal of the characters, emphasizing their exaggerated features and expressions. Through his skillful wood engraving technique, he captures the essence of human interaction with a touch of humor. The artwork explores the universal theme of trying to avoid tedious discussions that seem never-ending. The title itself suggests the protagonist's futile attempt at escaping from an intellectual debate on philology - the study of language and its historical development. As we observe this comical scenario unfold, we are reminded of our own experiences when engaging in conversations that may not align with our interests or understanding. It serves as a gentle reminder that even in centuries past, humans have grappled with similar little miseries within their daily lives. This thought-provoking piece can be found among other remarkable artworks at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), showcasing Grandville's unique style and contribution to French art during the 19th century.
