Title:	Second Livre De Fragments a L'Usage De Diffrens Artistes (Second Book of Fragments used by Different Artists)
Artist:	Eisen, Charles Domenique Joseph (Valenciennes, 1720 - Brussels, 1778)
Date:	c. 1765
Medium:	Original Etching
Note:	Charles Eisen 'Charles Domenique Joseph Eisen': A leading seventeenth century French painter, designed and etcher, Charles Domenique Joseph Eisen was first instructed by his father, Franz Eisen (1695-1777). In 1741 he travelled to Paris to complete his studies in painting and engraving under J. P. Le Bas (1707-1783). Charles Eisen's talents and graceful style soon gained him admittance to the French court and, by 1750, he was appointed as both the Court Painter to the King and the drawing master of Madame de Pompadour.
	Charles Eisen was a master of figure studies, nudes, portraits and all forms of decorative designs. This was the Golden Age of French Rococo illustration and engraving. Epitomized by the cult of pleasure and the pursuit of gallantry, Eisen's skills proved a perfect match with this form of art. Thus some of the greatest illustrated books from this period, such as Les Sens (1766), Les Baisers (1770) and Fontaine's Contes et nouvelles en vers (1762) bear both designs and etchings from Eisen's hand.
	Many of Charles Eisen's original etchings were commissioned as frontis-pieces for books of importance. Second Livre de Fragmens is one of the artist's most impressive designs in this oeuvre. Critics have sometimes compared Eisen's art to Watteau or Boucher, but original etchings such as this example, put one more in mind of the great Italian painter and etcher of this period, Tiepolo. As Tiepolo and Eisen were contemporaries (and probably very much aware of each other's art) it is impossible to determine who influenced whom. In any case, "Second Livre De Fragments a L'Usage De Diffrens Artistes" is a striking work of French Rococo art. The English translation of this beautiful etching is (Second Book of Fragments used by Different Artists).
