EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Summer Bath at Pompeii" transports us back in time to the ancient city of Pompeii. The image, a gravure by Gustave Clarence Rodolphe Boulanger, beautifully captures a scene of leisure and relaxation amidst the ruins. The setting is reminiscent of a sunny summer day, with women and men enjoying the refreshing waters. Nudity was not uncommon during this era, as bathing was seen as an essential part of daily life. The individuals depicted here seem carefree and content, embracing the simple pleasure of swimming in these historic surroundings. This particular print was featured in The Chefs-D Oeuvre d Art of the International Exhibition in 1878, edited by Edward Straham. It showcases Boulanger's masterful painting skills and highlights his ability to bring history to life through art. The engraving itself is a testament to German craftsmanship, produced by Goupil & Co. , known for their exceptional attention to detail. Its inclusion in this international exhibition speaks volumes about its artistic significance and contribution to cultural exchange during that time. As we gaze upon this digitally cleaned image from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded not only of Pompeii's rich history but also how art has the power to transcend time and connect us with our past.
