Insects In Front Of Notre-dame De Paris
Fan-shaped gouache on silk depicting a fantastic scene: small anthropomorphized insects fishing and strolling in front of the imposing façade of Notre-Dame de Paris. The artist subtly plays on the contrast between the Gothic monumentality and the tiny people coming to life in the foreground. This composition is inspired by the world of J.-J. Grandville, a master of animal anthropomorphism in the 19th century, whose imagination had a lasting influence on the decorative and graphic arts. French work, circa 1860/1880 Dimensions: Width: 55 cm Height: 25 cm
