Painting Description
"Barrière du Faubourg Saint-Martin" is a notable aquatint print by the French artist Philibert-Louis Debucourt, created in 1820. This work is part of a series of prints that depict various scenes of Parisian life and the city's architecture during the early 19th century. The print showcases the Barrière Saint-Martin, one of the tollgates of the Farmers-General Wall, which was a tax wall encircling Paris. Debucourt's piece captures the vibrancy and the daily activities that took place at this bustling entrance to the city.
Philibert-Louis Debucourt (1755–1832) was a prominent painter and printmaker, known for his genre scenes and for pioneering the technique of color printing in France. His works often reflected the social and cultural milieu of Paris and were characterized by their detailed representation and satirical elements. "Barrière du Faubourg Saint-Martin" is a fine example of Debucourt's skill in using the aquatint process to achieve a rich tonality and a sense of depth, making his prints highly sought after by collectors and museums.
The print is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, as it provides insight into urban life and the social dynamics of Paris during the Bourbon Restoration. The Barrière Saint-Martin was one of the many gates that controlled the flow of goods and people, playing a crucial role in the economic life of the city. Debucourt's work serves as a visual document of the period, capturing the essence of Parisian society and the architectural landscape that has since undergone significant transformation.
Today, "Barrière du Faubourg Saint-Martin" is appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its contribution to the understanding of Parisian history. It remains an important work within Debucourt's oeuvre and continues to be studied by art historians and enthusiasts of French art and culture.
