Summer Dance 1738 - Nicolas Lancret 1920 Louvre Art

Description: Method of payment Summer Dance 1738 - Nicolas Lancret 1920 Louvre Museum Art Print Title: Summer (L'ete) (or The Dance) Description: Shows a scene of revelers joined in dance celebrating the arrival of Summer. Artist: Nicolas Lancret (22 January 1690 – 14 September 1743), French painter, was born in Paris, and became a brilliant depicter of light comedy which reflected the tastes and manners of French society under the regent Orleans. His first master was Pierre d'Ulin, but his acquaintance with and admiration for Watteau induced him to leave d'Ulin for Gillot, whose pupil Watteau had been. Two pictures painted by Lancret and exhibited on the Place Dauphine had a great success, which laid the foundation of his fortune, and, it is said, estranged Watteau, who had been complimented as their author. Lancret's work cannot now, however, be taken for that of Watteau, for both in drawing and in painting his touch, although intelligent, is dry, hard and wanting in that quality which distinguished his great model; these characteristics are due possibly in part to the fact that he had been for some time in training under an engraver. Source: This beautiful vintage color gravure is from the Le Louvre: Le Musee Et Les Chefs D'Oeurve De La Peinture by Georges Lafenestre. It was printed in Paris in the early 1920s and features famous paintings hanging (at that time) in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. In the true manner, this print is a highly faithful reproduction of the original artwork. It is hinge-mounted on a heavyweight page, making it perfect for framing. A cover page describing the painting and artist (in French) also is provided.
