EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-finished chromolithograph depicts the intricately designed ceramic tiles of Rouen, France, captured in exquisite detail. The image, taken from Ris Paquots' "General History of Ancient French and Foreign Glazed Pottery," published in Paris in 1874, showcases the beauty and craftsmanship of these decorative tiles that once adorned the buildings of Rouen. The tiles are a vibrant blend of colors, with angels, sphinxes, and foliage painted in intricate patterns against a backdrop of rich, glazed ceramics. Each tile appears to be a work of art in itself, with every detail meticulously rendered. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that allowed for the production of multicolored lithographs, adds to the vibrancy and depth of the image. The tiles depicted in the print are remnants of Rouen's rich history of ceramics, which dates back to the 16th century. Rouen was once a major center for the production of faience, a type of glazed pottery that originated in Italy but gained popularity in France. The tiles were used to decorate the facades of buildings, adding to the architectural beauty of the city. The hand-finished nature of the print adds to its antique charm, making it a prized possession for collectors of historical art and decorative arts. This print is not only a testament to the artistic and cultural significance of Rouen's ceramic tiles but also a beautiful piece of art in its own right.
