(after) Jean François Millet
Novembre - Original Etching by Marcel Roux After J.F. Millet -Late 19th Century

19th Century

About the Item

Novembre is an original print in etching technique on ivory paper, realized by Marcel Roux, an engraver and sculptor, after J.F. Millet (French Painter, 1814-1875). Good conditions, except for some stains and the worn paper. Jean-François Millet (1814 - 1875) was a French painter, considered one of the greatest exponents of Realism. From a stylistic point of view Millet was very sensitive to the realist offensive of Gustave Courbet, from whom he took inspiration in creating direct and unadorned paintings and painting subjects hitherto considered trivial and unworthy of pictorial representation (in this case the daily work of farmers). Unlike other realist painters, however, Millet did not use his paintings as an instrument of social denunciation and, on the contrary, often filled them with intense lyrical and sentimental involvement: this was one of the aspects most criticized by other artists and critics, such as Cézanne, who compared Millet's paintings to an "old lacrimal gland". In spite of this, Millettian works are distinguished by the geometric essentiality of the forms, the regularity and harmony of the compositions, the meditated balance between lights and shadows and the balance between spots and shades of colors: these are all characteristics that reveal a classical setting, as well as a thoughtful reflection on Renaissance archetypes.

  • 19th Century Etching of the Ancient Column of Trajan in Rome by Luigi Rossini
    By Luigi Rossini
    Located in Alamo, CA
    This early 19th century etching entitled "Veduta dello scavo del Foro Trajano" was created by Luigi Rossini and included in his publication "Le Antichita Romane" (The Rome of Antiquity), published in Rome in 1823. It depicts the historical victory column of Trajan standing amidst the rubble of broken columns that remain around it. The etching is presented in a black wood frame with a light brown outer mat and a dark brown inner mat. There are several frame abrasions. The print and mats are in very good condition. The print is framed and matted in the identical style as the another etching of an ancient Roman landmark, the Piazza Navona, which is also listed on 1stdibs, see item # LU117326144172. The pair would make an attractive display grouping of Roman architecture. A discount is available for purchase of the pair of prints. Luigi Rossini (1790-1857) like his predecessors, Giovanni Piranesi (1720–1778) and Giuseppi Vasi (1710-1782), was an architect and artist. Like Piranesi and Vasi, he wanted to glorify the architecture of ancient Rome, which he felt was deteriorating and needed to be documented. Several of the ruins he illustrated have, in fact, since disappeared leaving only his images as a record of their appearance. His images of the grand edifices of the city dramatically depict the power and glory...
