Discovering the works of Félix Buhot

 

Between Romanticism and Impressionism, Félix Buhot (1847-1898) is credited with reviving art of etching in late nineteenth-century. The gallery is pleased to present in its most current catalog a selection of engravings, most of which come directly from the artist’s family, in order to pay tribute to this whimsical and inventive engraver.
