Etchings
are prints which are made by
scratching a design in a film of resin that covers a metal plate,
usually copper. The plate is then placed in an acid bath which eats
away at the exposed copper, creating grooves to hold ink. In the
nineteenth century, the technique appealed to painters because they
could draw freely and quickly in the resin film with a needle and
were able to produce prints without the assistance of a
professional printer. All here are post inclusive

Léon Augustin LHERMITTE,
(1844-1925) Les laveuses
A great French painter and etcher
of the late
nineteenth century, Leon L'Hermitte was born in 1844 and was still
executing works in the French rural tradition at his death in 1925,
1863 Went to Paris and became a student at the Petite
Ecole
1874 Lhermitte won a third-class medal in
the Salon for his
painting The Harvest
1881 The Tavern, exhibited in the Salon
1890 Founding member of the Societe
Nationale des Beaux-Arts
1894 Officer of the Legion d'honneur
Lhermitte showed artistic talent at a
young age and his
upbringing in the rural village of Mont Saiint-Père in
Picardie
provided him with the subjects and landscapes that would become the
staples of his oeuvre. In 1863 left his home for the Petit Ecole in
Paris where he studied with Horace Lecocq de Boisbaudran. It was in
that studio that he formed a life-long friendship with Cazin and
became acquainted with Legros, Fantin-Latour, and Rodin. He made
his debut at the Salon of 1864 where his charcoal drawings revealed
that he had a profound sense for nature. His first work, Bords de
Marne près d'Alfort, caused a sensation. Lhermitte soon
gained a
reputation for being as capable with oils as with pastel and
charcoal. For his entries, he won a third prize medal in 1874, a
second prize medal in 1880, and a Grand Prize award at the
Exposition Universelle in 1889. One year later, he was awarded a
Diploma of Honour at Dresden. Lhermitte was awarded the Legion of
Honour in 1884, was made an officer in 1894 and a commander in
1911. He was elected a member of the Institute in 1905. In 1890 he
was one of the founding members of the Société
National des
Beaux-Arts, of which he was later elected Vice-President.
Lhermitte was born during a time that
heralded a vast change in
the urban and rural landscapes of France. The country was speeding
into the modern world as urban spaces became more dense,
industrialized, and teeming with activity. France was divided
between a more educated, progressive North and a rural South of
farm and field laborers. People rarely travelled between the
regions and, as Paris became more and more cosmopolitan, Parisians
progressively saw the south as a bucolic idyll frozen in time and
impervious to change.
Urban townspeople imagined rural
field-hands as robust, diligent
peasant workers, too philistine for the metropolitan world. The
urban elite increasingly used stereotypes of the countryside for
their own agendas, creating a form of induced romantic nostalgia.
As the cities rapidly processed advances in industry and dealt with
a burgeoning population, many artists and writers used images to
convince urban citizens to view the rural south as a land
romantically caught in the past. The peasants were a reminder of
life before the industrialised city, a seemingly unchanging people
of the earth.
A leading member of the school of Social
Realism, Lhermitte
painted almost exclusively, scenes taken from rural life. The most
profound influence upon his work was certainly Jean François
Millet, the creator of the Angelus and many other remarkable works,
yet, contrary to this, he clearly remained true to his original
style of creating beautiful, light-filled pictures in the Barbizon
tradition. Lhermitte adopted early on the method of peinture claire
similar to that of the Impressionists, except in a more
traditionally academic style. He was a talented artist, much
respected by his peers, who was also quite commercially successful.
Van Gogh wrote of him: "He is the absolute master of the figure, he
does what he likes with it - proceeding neither from the colour nor
the local tone but rather from the light - as Rembrandt did - there
is an astonishing mastery in everything he does, above all
excelling in modelling, he perfectly satisfies all that honesty
demands."
Lhermitte continued to create works in the
French rural
tradition until his death in 1925, the last survivor in an
illustrious group of artists.

Town of Autun in the Burgundy region, also known as Bourgogne,
etching by Marjorie Williams dated 1928
This is a town that basks in its Roman origins. Several of the
ancient gateways into the town still exist - Porte d'Arroux, built
in the 1st century and Porte St-André, the 4th century
gateway.
After the Romans conquered Bibracte from the Gauls, Emperor
Augustus set up his headquarters here in the 1st century, calling
the town Augustodunum. It grew in prosperity, controlling the
Agrippa Way along the trade route from Lyon to Boulogne. Augustus
built the largest Roman Amphitheatre of its time, seating up to
20,000 spectators and the remains can still be seen today, with
summer spectaculars performed there each year celebrating past
glories. Mount is filthy glass ditto pic superb
