EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ossuaire (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a hauntingly beautiful engraving by the French School. The image belongs to a private collection and depicts the Ossuaire du Faouet in Finistere. The intricate details of this engraving come alive as we explore the history behind it. Created for the Dictionnaire Francais Illustre des Mots et des Choses by MM Larive et Fleury in 1888, this artwork is a testament to the talent and craftsmanship of its anonymous engraver. The subject matter itself is both intriguing and macabre - an ossuary filled with bones, representing countless bodies laid to rest. This somber scene reminds us of our own mortality while also serving as a reminder of history's impact on our present. The choice to present this image in black and white adds depth and intensity, emphasizing every line and curve meticulously engraved into the piece. It transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand how art can capture moments frozen forever. Bridgeman Images has curated yet another remarkable addition to their Fine Art Finder collection with this thought-provoking print. Whether you are drawn to historical engravings or appreciate art that challenges your perception, "Ossuaire (engraving)" will undoubtedly leave an indelible mark on your imagination.
