Created in the 16th century, on a former artisanal tile manufacturing site, LE JARDIN DES TUILERIES is the largest and oldest French garden in the city of lights. Marin Montagut sketches it from an aerial view and accompanied by its most illustrious accessories, such as its small boats, its ducks and its hot air balloons. The watercolor illustration is available here as a wall board.
The decorative wall board was produced in collaboration: it was hand-drawn by Marin Montagut then printed by Antoinette Poisson. Marin created the original drawings himself while respecting the spirit of the 18th century engravings. Faithful to the quality of the materials used at the time, “À Paris chez Antoinette Poisson” then pressed her illustrations sheet by sheet in their Parisian workshop, using the traditional press, on artisanal dominoté laid paper made from 100% pure rag. by hand in France. Finally, Marin fixed each engraving on two wooden sticks which wrap around themselves like parchment and close with a grosgrain ribbon in the style of handwritten cards of the time.
The limited color series, signed and numbered from 1 to 200 for each garden, is exclusively hand painted in watercolor, one by one.
