EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures "The Maison d'Auteuil, 1716" painting by Jacques Autreau, showcasing a significant moment in French literary history. The painting depicts the renowned salon of the Marquise de Tencin, where intellectuals and writers gathered during the Siecle des Lumieres (the Age of Enlightenment). In this particular scene, Bernard Le Bouyer (Le Bovier), Fontenelle, La Motte, Saurin, and Madame de Alexandrine Claudine Guerin are engaged in a lively conversation while enjoying hot chocolate. The Marquise of Tencin's salon was known for its intellectual discussions and exchange of ideas among prominent figures. It served as a hub for writers and thinkers to gather and share their thoughts on various subjects. This painting beautifully portrays the vibrant atmosphere of these gatherings. Jacques Autreau skillfully brings this historical moment to life with his attention to detail and use of color. The composition allows us to imagine ourselves being part of this stimulating conversation surrounded by art, literature, and delicious cocoa drinks. Luisa Ricciarini's print preserves this remarkable artwork for generations to come. It serves as a visual reminder of the importance of intellectual discourse throughout history and invites us to appreciate the rich cultural heritage that emerged from such literary salons in France during the 18th century.
