Description: A GOOD POINT OF VIEW Artist: V. GHEVILLIARD AN ANTIQUE PHOTOGRAVURE PRINTED IN THE 1880's !! PERFECT FOR FRAMING AS AN ART PRINT FOR YOUR DEN !! VERY ANTIQUE & OLD WORLD LOOKING. ITEM(s) OVER 110 YEARS OLD!! This artist was lately a neglected genius, wandering rather aimlessly among the troops of artists who populate the woods of Fontainebleau and drink cheap claret at its humble taverns. Whatever he painted was admired, yet would not sell. One day an artist friend happened to come along with a bundle of priest's robes, which he had borrowed for a religious subiect he was painting. Ghevilliard persuaded him to put on the costume, and made a painting of the young, laughing, impudent face and figure of the Paris artist in its inappropriate clerical garb. The picture sold, more like it were ordered, and soon the dealers could not get enough of the "priests of Ghevilliard." He paints priests, not of the heaven-aspiring order, but priests as they really appear in their every day life "off duty," and with a kindly satire, never approaching offensiveness. In the present example one of the gay priests turns the tables on Art, which has so often satirized him. He has found a ruined piece of masonry over which to peep, an abandoned artist's stool and easel, and a litter of wrappings that seems to indicate a scene of the artist and his wife taking a bath. Needless to say that he peeps, and thoroughly enjoys the scene. SIZE: Image size in inches is 7" x 10", overall page size is 10 1/2 " x 16 1/2". CONDITION: Condition is good. Nothing on reverse.
