Il tomo sus simples... c. 1855
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating monochrome lithograph created by the renowned French artist, Célestin François Nanteuil Le Boeuf (1821-1885). This evocative work, produced around 1855, showcases a poignant moment in the daily life of an agricultural laborer. The image depicts a weary farmhand, clad in tattered clothing, seated by a fireplace in a dimly lit interior. A large cooking pot sits atop the hearth, while a wooden spoon rests nearby, hinting at a simple meal being prepared. The laborer's gaze is fixed on an open book, which lies on a makeshift table, suggesting that he may be seeking solace or inspiration from its pages. The title "Il tomo sus simples" translates to "I take the simples," a term borrowed from herbalism and alluding to the gathering of natural remedies for medicinal purposes. The atmosphere of this artwork is reminiscent of the literary world of Don Quixote, with its blend of the mundane and the fantastical. Nanteuil's masterful use of contrast and shadow creates a sense of depth and intimacy, inviting the viewer to ponder the thoughts and experiences of this humble figure. As a significant work of 19th-century art, "Il tomo sus simples... c. 1855" is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, offering a glimpse into the heritage and history of both agriculture and art. This color lithograph on wove paper is a testament to Nanteuil's exceptional skill and his ability to capture the essence of everyday life with profound sensitivity and emotion.
