EDITORS COMMENTS
Adolphe Appian's captivating etching and monotype on thin laid paper, titled "A Villefranche-sur-Mer, 1882," invites viewers to step back in time and experience the picturesque beauty of the French Riviera over a century ago. This exquisite work of art, created by the skilled hand of Adolphe Appian, showcases the idyllic waterside scene of Villefranche-sur-Mer in the Alpes-Maritimes region of Provence, France. The image, reminiscent of an old photograph, depicts the tranquil waters of the Mediterranean lapping against the rocky shoreline, dotted with small boats and fishing nets. The branches of trees and plants along the waters edge frame the scene, adding texture and depth to the composition. The trees, with their gnarled trunks and leafy canopies, reach towards the sky, providing a sense of height and perspective. Appian's masterful use of etching and monotype techniques creates intricate lines and tonal variations, bringing the natural elements to life. The artist's handwriting is visible in the lower right corner, adding a personal touch and authenticity to the piece. The historic location, with its rich cultural heritage, is beautifully depicted in this antique artwork, making it a must-see for any art lover or history enthusiast. This stunning piece, a testament to the artistic prowess of Adolphe Appian, is a treasure of the nineteenth century and a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery exhibition. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this work in its permanent collection, allowing future generations to appreciate the beauty and history of Villefranche-sur-Mer as it was captured by the artist's hand over a century ago.
