Claude Monet | Paysage à Antibes (1892) | Rare Limited Edition Sanguine Etching

Auguste Marie Lauzet (1864–1898) after Claude Monet (1840–1926)
Paysage à Antibes, 1892
Etching in sanguine on cream laid paper | From L'Art impressionniste d'après la collection de M. Durand-Ruel

This etching belongs to one of the most significant print publications of the Impressionist era. L'Art impressionniste d'après la collection de M. Durand-Ruel was published in Paris in 1892 as an attempt to document, in print, the collection of Paul Durand-Ruel — the dealer who, more than any other individual, sustained the Impressionist painters through the long years before their work found its public. The publication used etching to translate the paintings into reproducible form, with Auguste Marie Lauzet responsible for the interpretations after Monet.

Paysage à Antibes — a coastal scene from the series Monet painted on the Mediterranean coast in 1888, among the most celebrated landscapes of his career — is rendered here in sanguine: warm, reddish-brown ink on cream laid paper, a palette that gives the composition a quality of memory, as if the light of the south is being recalled rather than directly depicted. Lauzet's intaglio linework captures the shimmer of Monet's brushwork with a delicacy that respects both the original and the expressive possibilities of the etching medium.

A work of this age, documentation, and historical significance — connecting directly to the first great moment of Impressionist collecting — is a rare acquisition. Available through Creed Gallery, Ascot, for collectors across Berkshire, Surrey, and London.
