      F. VILLOT (*1809) after DELACROIX (*1798), In the Jesuit Church in Glogau, 1848, Etching

      Est: €600 - €800

      Frédéric Villot (1809 Liège - 1875 Paris) after Eugène Delacroix (1798 Charenton-Saint-Maurice b. Paris - 1863 Paris): In the Jesuit Church in Glogau, 1848, Etching Technique: Etching on Paper Stamp: Lower right Collector's stamp, Lugt no.: 971. Friedrich August II. von Sachsen (1797-1854). Dresden. 19th century Inscription: At the lower part signed in the printing plate: "Eug. Delacroix del. / Fréd. Villot sculp". At the lower part inscribed in the printing plate: "L'eglise des Jésuites (Hoffmann.)". At the lower part dated: "1848". Date: 1848 Description: To the original by Delacroix (drawing in the Kunsthalle Bremen): The drawing has as its subject a scene from the artist's story The Jesuit Church in G., which appeared in 1816 in the first volume of E. T. A. Hoffmann's Nachtstücke. Hoffmann had studied in Glogau in Lower Silesia and met the painter Alexander Molinari there, who was carrying out renovation work in the Jesuit Church. In Hoffmann's story, the first-person narrator sees the painter Bertold working in the church at midnight by torchlight and offers him his help. A conversation about art ensues. When asked if he is not called to a higher activity, the painter replies, "Do you know the fable of Prometheus, who wanted to be a creator and stole fire from heaven to animate his dead figures?" By referring to the hubris of Prometheus, he hints at a dark crime in his past. The next day, the first-person narrator finds out that the painter once loved a princess whom he had saved the life of in the revolution and whom he eventually married, but that thereupon his artistic power dried up, whereupon he got rid of his family. Whether he killed her remains uncertain. Delacroix has set the conversation situation in a monochrome, eerie-looking play of light and shadow. In its pictorial elaboration, the sheet occupies a special position among Delacroix's watercolours and drawings. Keywords: E.T.A. Hoffmann, Night Play, Art, Church Painter, Sublim, 19th century, Romanticism, Fantasy, France,
