EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Thomas Rowlandson takes us back to the bustling streets of Paris in 1789. The scene is set at La Place des Victoires, a square known for its stunning French architecture. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to a time of revolution and change. In the foreground, a carriage rushes past with an elegant dog perched on top, capturing the essence of aristocratic life before the turmoil unfolded. A performer stands nearby, entertaining passersby with his fiddle and adding a touch of liveliness to the atmosphere. Rowlandson's satirical style shines through as he depicts various characters hurrying about their day amidst this grand tour abroad. The artist's keen eye for detail allows us to immerse ourselves in every aspect of this historical moment. The use of pen and ink combined with watercolor over graphite creates depth and texture within the artwork. This particular piece is part of Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. As we admire this print, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its ability to transport us back in time. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, art continues to be a powerful medium through which history comes alive before our eyes.
