EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Le bruit de deux sabots trainant. . . (The sound of two clogs shuffling. . . ), 1878" captures a scene from the 19th century. Created by French artist Félix Hilaire Buhot, this etching depicts a country setting amidst rainfall. The artwork showcases intricate details, showcasing Buhot's mastery in drypoint and roulette techniques on cream wove paper. In the foreground, we see two clogs dragging through the muddy ground, creating a distinct sound that resonates with the viewer. A dog stands nearby, observing the scene with curiosity. In the distance, a figure resembling Jesus Christ is crucified on a cross, symbolizing Christian themes within this rural landscape. Buhot's work often incorporated literary references and here he pays homage to Jules Amédée Barbey d'Aurevilly's novel "Le Chevalier Destouches". The lantern hanging above adds an atmospheric touch to this evocative composition. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this print invites viewers to immerse themselves in 19th-century France while contemplating themes of religion, nature, and human existence. Through his skillful use of light and shadow captured in black and white tones, Buhot creates an atmosphere that transports us back in time. This artwork serves as a testament to Buhot's artistic prowess and his ability to convey emotions through detailed etchings. It remains an enduring piece that continues to captivate art enthusiasts today.
