EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print created by the talented artist Felix Hilaire Buhot. This 19th-century masterpiece showcases his exceptional skills in etching, drypoint aquatint, dust ground, spirit ground, and possibly sugar lift techniques on Japanese paper. The artwork depicts a scene from Jules Amédée Barbey d'Aurevilly's novel "Une vieille maîtresse" (An Old Mistress). Set in high society France, it portrays a group of men and women engaged in horse riding. A woman exclaims "Caramba!" with surprise or excitement as she rides alongside her male companion. The intricate details captured by Buhot bring the characters to life and transport viewers back to this elegant era. Buhot's mastery lies not only in his technical expertise but also in his ability to convey social class distinctions through art. The print subtly reflects the divide between the upper echelons of society represented by these equestrians and those who are not part of this privileged world. This remarkable piece can be found at the National Gallery of Art Washington, where it stands as a testament to Buhot's artistic prowess and contribution to French literature-inspired illustrations. It serves as an important reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire artists today.
