On ne s'avise jamais de tout
EDITORS COMMENTS
(One never knows everything), a captivating etching by Gabriel de Saint-Aubin from the 18th century, invites us to delve into the rich history and intrigue of France during the era of warfare and change. This monochrome masterpiece, created in 1761, showcases a bustling city scene filled with various buildings, houses, and people going about their daily lives. In the foreground, two women clad in traditional French attire engage in conversation, seemingly unaware of the impending danger lurking in the background. A group of soldiers, armed with bayonets, stand at the ready, their stern expressions hinting at the potential for conflict. The ominous presence of the soldiers and their weaponry contrasts starkly with the peaceful scene of the women and the mundane activities of the townspeople. The etching's title, "On ne s'avise jamais de tout," serves as a poignant reminder of the unpredictability of life and the ever-present possibility of war. This evocative work of art, now a cherished part of the Heritage Images collection, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to reflect on the complexities of history. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this etching as part of its esteemed collection, allowing visitors to connect with the art and the stories it tells. Gabriel de Saint-Aubin's "On ne s'avise jamais de tout" is a testament to the power of art to transport us through time and inspire our imagination.
