| Summary |
"The Etchings of Charles Meryon" by Campbell Dodgson is a scholarly publication written during the early 20th century. This book delves into the work of the French etcher Charles Meryon, who is celebrated for his detailed and poetic etchings of Paris. Exploring Meryon's life and artistic journey, it serves as both a biography and a critical evaluation of his etching technique and themes, particularly reflecting the character of the city he loved. The book begins with an introduction to Meryon's life, detailing his early influences, struggles with mental illness, and the interrelation of his personal experiences with his artistic output. Dodgson meticulously analyzes Meryon's significant body of work, particularly his series "Eaux-fortes sur Paris," wherein Meryon's poetic reflections accompany his architectural and atmospheric illustrations. The etchings reveal not just the physical beauty of Paris but also its haunting and melancholic essence, a product of Meryon's introspective nature. The publication also includes a comprehensive list of Meryon's etchings, demonstrating his evolution as an artist and the historical context of his work within the broader art world.
