EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event that took place on the Seine in Paris at the end of the year. The illustration, taken from "Le petit journal" dated 02/01/1921, showcases a swimming contest organized to celebrate the approaching new year. The image portrays a casual yet exhilarating scene as swimmers dive into the river with enthusiasm. The participants are depicted gracefully gliding through the water, their bodies cutting through the surface like arrows. Their determination and skill are evident as they compete against each other in this unique event. The artist, Stefano Bianchetti, has beautifully captured this historic moment with his detailed engraving technique. Every stroke of his pen brings life to this snapshot from early 20th century France. Through his artistry, we can almost feel the coolness of the water and hear echoes of cheers from spectators lining up along the banks of Seine. This exquisite print is part of a private collection by an anonymous collector who recognizes its historical significance and artistic value. It serves as a reminder of how traditions have evolved over time while also celebrating human achievements in sports and leisure activities. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, it transports us back to an era when Parisians embraced joyous occasions such as this swimming event on their beloved Seine River – truly capturing both history and beauty within one frame.
