EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the literary salons of the 19th century, where intellectuals gathered to discuss literature, poetry, and society. In this particular scene, we see Francois Auguste Parceval de Grandmaison immersed in his craft as he reads verses from his renowned poem "Philippe Auguste". The setting is a lounge in the old hotel of Larochefoucauld in 1824, exuding an air of elegance and refinement. The engraving, created by Stefano Bianchetti in 1862-1863, beautifully captures the essence of this literary salon. Parceval de Grandmaison's intense focus on his work is evident as he transports himself into a world of words and emotions. The room itself seems to be filled with an aura of intellectual energy and creativity. As we gaze at this image from a private collection, we are transported back in time to witness not only the reading but also the lively discussions that would have followed. This was a place where ideas were exchanged freely among like-minded individuals who shared a passion for literature. Through this print, we catch a glimpse into French society during the 19th century - its love for artistry and its appreciation for intellectual pursuits. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people found solace and inspiration within books and poetry.
