EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Pyrenees (colour litho)" takes us back to the 19th century French countryside, where the beauty of nature and the advancement of railways coexist harmoniously. The artwork, created by an anonymous French School artist, showcases the stunning scenery of the Pyrenees mountain range. As we gaze upon this picturesque landscape, our eyes are drawn to a serene lake called Lac de Gaube nestled amidst towering mountains. The tranquil waters reflect the surrounding peaks, creating a mesmerizing mirror-like effect. In the distance, we can spot Cirque de Gavarni, a natural amphitheater formed by glacial erosion. This image was originally commissioned as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on August 20th, 1894. It served as a promotional piece for Chemin de fer du Midi - a railway company that transported travelers to various destinations in the Pyrenees region. The print captures not only the breathtaking scenery but also highlights how railways revolutionized travel during that era. It invites us to imagine embarking on a holiday adventure through these majestic mountains via Chemin de fer du Midi. "The Pyrenees (colour litho)" is not just a visual delight; it represents an important chapter in French history and culture. This fine art print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both nature's grandeur and humanity's ingenuity in transforming landscapes into accessible wonders for exploration and discovery.
