Framed Print of The Curious One, 1823. Creator: Antoine Pierre Mongin (French, 1761-1827)
The Curious One, 1823. Here a young man uses a ladder to climb over a garden wall. The sign at his right translates into School for Young Ladies under the Direction of Mrs. Wachsam -- wachsam being the German word for watchful. Apparently, overcome by curiosity, the man cannot resist his desire to see the young women concealed behind the wall. Scenes with amorous, sometimes voyeuristic overtones are common in the work of Mongin. The artist also seems fascinated with depicting the exact details of his settings. In 1824, a critic who saw The Curious One wrote that Mongins paintings are portraits of houses coated in plaster, garden trees, almost trivial details, and this pleases me greatly. Full of naivete, this is what I need in a landscape, as in a representation of mans actions. The critics comments clearly demonstrate his appreciation for Mongins work, as well as the artists belief in the inherent relationship between nature and man.
