Sketch Book for the Artist

JEAN IGNACE ISIDORE

GERARD ("GRANDVILLE")

French graphic artist and political

satirist. This image is from one of

Grandville's best-known publications,

Les Animaux (1840), which is still

available today. His other major

works include Metamorphoses du

Jour (1828), and he illustrated the

Fables of La Fontaine and Daniel

Defoe's Robinson Crusoe.

Engraving This is an engraving made so

that Grandville's original drawing could be

reproduced. The quality of the line is therefore

uniform throughout. Light shines from the

right. Smiling, grimacing, sucker-faced

creatures dash and trundle toward it They are

drawn solidly to emphasize their earthbound

weight. Comic little headbands of waving

hair express more hysteria than fear.

HIERONYMUS BOSCH
Dutch painter Bosch's highly
detailed iconographic religious
panel paintings, teeming with
the exhilaration of unrestrained
fantasy, include The Haywain,
Garden of Earthly Delights, Last
Judgment, and Ship of Fools. Most
of his work is in the Prado
Museum, Madrid.

Quill and ink This typical Bosch

monster is a quill drawing in bistre

ink The phrasing of light and

contour here is masterly.
