EDITORS COMMENTS
The Bakers Art, plate number 27 from the Les Femmes de Paris series captures a delightful scene of everyday life in mid-19th century Paris. Created by Alfred Andre Geniole, this colour lithograph showcases his talent for social satire and humour. In this charming print, we see a group of Parisian women gathered around a local bakery, engrossed in lively conversation. The central figure is the baker herself, known as La Boulangere et sa pratique (The Baker and her Practice). With her apron tied tightly around her waist and flour dusting her hands, she proudly displays an array of freshly baked breads – from traditional loaves to the iconic baguette. The women surrounding La Boulangere are not just customers; they are friends engaging in gossip and chatter while selecting their daily groceries. Each woman carries a basket filled with delicious treats as they exchange stories and laughter. This artwork beautifully captures the bustling energy of a French market street. It invites us to imagine ourselves amidst the vibrant atmosphere, surrounded by tantalizing aromas and animated conversations. Now housed at Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France, this piece remains timeless despite being created over 150 years ago. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to transport viewers back to a simpler time when community connections were forged through shared experiences like shopping for fresh bread.
