| Note: |
Lithography was not invented in France, but it was the
French who perfected the medium’s potential as a fine art form
during its initial years. Such legendary masters as Delacroix and Gericault
led the way yet, between 1810 and 1830, a host of other superb artists
were bringing the original lithograph to the forefront. In fact, so many
outstanding works were created in this field that the Restoration Salons
began holding exhibitions solely in lithography as early as 1817. |
| |
Officially, portraits and historical scenes were encouraged.
Domestic scenes, such as this example, were not common. Charles Aubry
was an early lithographic artist who made his reputation with hunting
scenes and military subjects. In 1822 he accepted the post of professor
of art at l'Ecole Militaire de Saumur. Listings from the records
of the Restoration Salon indicates that Charles Aubry contributed one lithograph
to the 1824 exhibition. It is not known whether the piece was La
Barbe du Sapeur or another lithograph. |
| |
Francois-Seraphin Delpech (Paris, 1778-1825), whose name
also appears on this work, was perhaps the greatest early French printer
of lithographs. Prints bearing Delpech’s name were a constant in
the initial Salon exhibitions. |
