Edmond Ramus
Leaving Home - Etching by E. Ramus After Franch Holl - 1878

1878

About the Item

Leaving Home is a superb etching and drypoint on ivory-colored and laid paper, realized by Edmond Ramus, after Franch Holl, as the inscription on plate and out of the image report. On the higher-margin "Exposition Universelle de 1878". Printed by A. Salmon, this original print represents a crowded waiting room before a departure, better represents all the feelings, thoughts, postures, lost hopes of a departure after leaving home. With deep dramatic and vibrant blacks, and intense greys, sophisticated draperies and deep shadows, this artwork although his intensity has something of deep humanity, and is incredibly modern! A touching original print for your sophisticated private collection. In good conditions, except for a usual burnished paper and a diffused foxing does not affect the image, also the edges. Edmond Ramus (1822 – 1890) was a French etcher best known for his copies of paintings for art catalogs. Ramus was born in Paris and first exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1847. He was awarded a bronze medal in 1881. He is listed as one of the contributors of eaux-fortes in the catalogue of objects for the palais de San Donato in 1880.

  • Construction d'un Temple en Ruine - Plate n. 5
    By Paul Delvaux
    Located in Roma, IT
    Construction d’un temple – Plate n.5 is a b/w original etching and dypoint realized in 1972 (as reported on plate on the lower right margin) by Paul Delvaux. From the collection “Construction d’un temple en ruine à la déesse Vanadé”, this original print came into being from the collaboration of four years among the French author and a member of the Nouveau-Roman group Alain Robbe-Grillet (1922-2008), and the Belgian artist Paul Delvaux (1897-1994). At first, Robbe-Grillet wrote a text, to which Delvaux then replied with a wonderful engraving, Robbe-Grillet then responded with a second text. This is how the building blocks of this beautiful book came together: it was constructed like a temple. The book was printed in an edition of 187 copies, of which only 40 contain the illustrations by Paul Delvaux. Our copy is unnumbered and printed on “Arches” ivory colored paper with the Bateau Lavoir watermark (on the lower right corner), and “Richard Bas” watermark (on the lower left margin). Image dimensions: 31.3 x 44.3 cm This exceptional artwork, representing an interesting composition with a woman depicted like an ancient Greek marble statue...
