Boissieu etchings displayed
Print Edition
AN exhibition of outstanding drawings and etchings by French artist Jean-Jacques de Boissieu (1736-1810) is on display at the Stadel Museum through May 10 in Frankfurt, Germany.
Boissieu was already highly acclaimed beyond France in his lifetime. Not only princes but also private collectors were fascinated with the landscapes, genre scenes and portraits depicted in the artist’s drawings and prints.
The 13 drawings and 83 etchings selected to be shown in the special presentation offer impressive insight into the artist’s production. These works are not only part of the Stadel Museum’s oldest holdings but constitute one of the most comprehensive collections of Boissieu’s works in Germany.
Though created in a period of historically revolutionary events around the French Revolution, Boissieu’s oeuvre mirrors the landscape and life of the province around his native city of Lyon with an almost irritatingly unexcited and serious steadiness. His etched landscapes and portraits as well as his subtly nuanced brush and chalk drawings reveal a progressive closeness to reality fueled by his study of nature.
