Father Simon acquired it as a citizen of Athens, and it is in this capacity that the commission of the historical monuments of France in 1845 invoked to restore a monument which still belonged to France.  It had been preserved by France for nearly two centuries, and France wished to return in good condition to the newly reformed Greece. The convent of the Capuchins made this masterpiece of elegance a setting of simple purity, silent activity, and flowering shade. The royal coat of arms of France shone above its entrance. It was the noble sign of this pious European hostel.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cu\u003eLes mots de Laborde, en Français\u003c\/u\u003e: “Les Capucins achetèrent, en 1669, sur l'ancienne voie des Trépieds, le monument choragique de Lysicrate. Le père Simon en fit l'acquisition comme citoyen d'Athènes, et c'est ce titre que la commission des monuments historiques de France invoqua en 1845 pour restaurer un monument qui appartenait encore à la France, qu'elle avait conservé intact aux Beaux-Arts pendant près de deux siècles, et qu'elle voulait rendre en bon état à la Grèce régénérée. Le couvent des Capucins fit à ce chef-d'œuvre d'élégance un cadre de sa propreté simple, de son activité silencieuse, de ses ombrages fleuris. L'écusson royal de France brillait au-dessus de la porte d'entrée. C'était la noble enseigne de cette pieuse hôtellerie européenne.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print was a commission for the publication below.  Meryon reminisces about the process of creating this etching: “Along with the print of Leroy, which I reduced to the requested size, I had a photograph of this elegant monument to aide me.  My print is made very conscientiously, but too precisely and with lines still too harsh.  In hindsight I realize I could easily have completed it, simply by better modulating certain parts with little additional work.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cu\u003eLes mots de l’artiste, en Français\u003c\/u\u003e: “Avec la pièce de Leroy, que j'ai réduite à la dimension demandée, j'avais pour m'aider à lire la structure première de ce gracieux monument, une photographie prise sur les lieux. Ma gravure est faite avec beaucoup de conscience, mais trop précise et dure encore d'exécution. J'ai vu aussi depuis qu'il m'eût été facile de la compléter, en modelant mieux certaines parties par l'addition de quelques travaux.

The girls have been dressed up, perhaps for Sunday mass, or simply to celebrate the return of their father.

He depicted Black Africans, Berber and Bedouin women, young and old, and would go on, upon his return to the United States to depict Indian Americans in his sculptures many times. Here the artist seems to have compiled drawings of three elegant men, likely originally water-colored while living in Tunisia. This intelligent composition, probably etched in Paris, enabled him to show multiple sitters, each looking quite regal. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSigned and numbered in pencil. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProvenance: the estate of the artist, thence by descent to his great-grandson, New Jersey. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"McCLELLAN POTTER, Louis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42343671136492,"sku":"","price":1100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2654\/1544\/products\/LouisMcCLELLANPOTTERArabTypesColoraquatintonwovepapercirca1900detail.jpg?v=1642785198"},{"product_id":"nude-with-the-pegasus-wallpaper-1","title":"Nude with the Pegasus Wallpaper","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eColor aquatint and etching on laid paper, circa 1895.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition of 50.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSigned and numbered in pencil. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProvenance: the estate of the artist, thence by descent to his great-grandson, New Jersey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eA short repaired tear in the bottom sheet edge, approximately 1 inch from the platemark.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McCLELLAN POTTER, Louis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42343811580140,"sku":"","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2654\/1544\/products\/LouisMcCLELLANPOTTERNudewiththePegasusWallpaperColoraquatintandetchingonlaidpapercirca1895detail.jpg?v=1642788065"},{"product_id":"rod-mill-sheffield-steel-corporation","title":"Rod Mill - Sheffield Steel Corporation","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"margin: 0in;

His agrarian subject matters are any bit as attractive as his portraits and industrial images. With his choice of etching to depict the \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSheffield Steel Corporation\u003c\/i\u003e rather than lithography which Nesbitt used often, the artist shows his artistic intelligence. The effect of light emitted by the red-hot steel rods is uncanny. And while this composition may seem quite matter of fact, the poetic beauty of the well-organized shop floor, as well as the contrast and the grayscale are truly mesmerizing. One would almost dare say that what Martin Lewis did for rainy New York imagery, Nesbitt did any bit as well depicting metallurgy.

He is not looking at us, but rather past us. It’s as if he were unable to look the viewer in the eyes, as if it was too painful to question the viewer directly about why they could have done what they did to him. His crown of thorns has been depicted as a tangle of wooden spikes or metal nails, darting into his head from all angles. There is no pain in his face, but rather despondent and sad resignation. His eyes are large, with the white of the eyeball seemingly ready to shed tears. Christ’s mouth is shut. He hasn’t yet suffered enough to question his Maker about the reason why He has forsaken him. That depth of pain is yet to come. Odilon Redon captures a moment in a journey, one known to all in France when he created this image in 1887. It should be placed in a long tradition of devotional imagery, intended to make the viewer reflect on compassion. Redon’s great artistry places the viewer at the side of Christ, as he has already suffered greatly, but before his crucifixion and demise, depicting the moment’s emotion vividly.
