EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the charming streets of Colmar in 1875. The Place du Marche-aux-Fruits comes alive on this oil on canvas masterpiece by Michel Hertrich, capturing the essence of a bustling market day. The scene is filled with vibrant colors and intricate details that bring the town square to life. From the lively street vendors setting up their stalls to the curious onlookers strolling through, every element adds to the authenticity of this snapshot in time. The architecture surrounding the square showcases traditional Alsatian charm, with half-timbered buildings adorned with flower boxes and ornate facades. It's easy to imagine oneself wandering through these picturesque streets, taking in all the sights and sounds. The market itself is a feast for the senses - overflowing baskets of fresh fruits and vegetables tempt passersby while fragrant flowers add bursts of color throughout. The atmosphere is one of energy and excitement as locals gather together to exchange goods and stories. Preserved within Musee d'Unterlinden in Colmar, France, this painting serves as a testament to Hertrich's talent for capturing everyday scenes with remarkable skill. As we gaze upon this image today, it allows us not only to appreciate his artistry but also offers a glimpse into a bygone era where community thrived amidst simple pleasures like visiting an open-air market.
