Félix Hilaire BuhotLa neige à Paris (Snow in Paris) - Etching by F. H. Buhot - 18791879
1879
About the Item
Wonderful etching, aquatint, drypoint, and wheel on laid ivory colored paper. Signed inside out on plate on the lower margin at the center. Each image of the composition is hand-titled on the plate on lower margins. Fourth state on nine. Edition of the “L’Art. Excellent conditions, including ivory colored cardboard passe-partout (cm 33.5 x 49).
The print has been given the titles of “L’Hiver à Paris “ or “ La Neige à Paris”. The modern artwork represents the rigorous winter of 1879 with Arctic temperatures and vast quantities of snow covered the Parisian streets.
Reference: B.G. I28
The present print, one of his best known, exemplifies these preoccupations. The published version appeared in the journal L'Art (n° 314) in January 1881.
As Bourcard clearly states "There were numerous trial proofs pulled and an extraordinary variety of printings in the various impressions of this plate. There exist a few rare artist's proofs of the state before the words: L'Art, the number 25, L'Hiver de 1879 à Paris."
Félix Hilaire Buhot (1847 - 1898)
Along with artists like Charles Jacque, Louis Monziès and Félix Bracquemond, Félix Hilaire Buhot contributed to the reviving seventeenth-century etching techniques in late nineteenth-century art. As we could see in this artwork the French artist was highly experimental and regularly employed technical variables and regularly combined multiple processes to produce a single print. He used traditional techniques of etching, drypoint, and aquatint along with modern methods such as photomechanical reproduction.
Buhot invented the "marges symphoniques" (symphonic margins); particularly he developed two types of margins, etching the first on the same plate as the central subject and printing the second, called a “false margin,” from a separate plate. His sources of inspiration were the marginal decorations of medieval manuscripts and eighteenth-century French book illustrations.
He is called the painter of atmosphere, because in many of his prints of city view and seascapes he represented the effects of weather such as rain, mist, fog, or, as in this case, snow
