An engraving by Sébastien Bourdon titled 'Sheltering the Stranger', depicting a scene of hospitality and charity with figures in draped clothing within an architectural setting.
Sébastien Bourdon (1616-1671) was a French painter and engraver, known for his classical and baroque styles. He was a prominent figure in the French art scene of the 17th century, helping to found the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture. Bourdon's work includes history paintings, portraits, and genre scenes, often characterised by their detailed compositions and dramatic lighting. His artistic journey included a period in Rome, where he was influenced by the works of the Italian masters. He later returned to France and became a court painter. 'Sheltering the Stranger' is an engraving that depicts a scene of hospitality and charity. The composition is arranged with a classical sensibility, featuring figures in draped clothing within an architectural setting. To the left, women attend to domestic tasks, while in the centre, a seated figure receives attention. To the right, a group of figures approaches, seemingly seeking shelter. The background reveals a detailed architectural structure and a suggestion of a distant, open space. The use of line work creates a sense of depth and texture, typical of engravings from this period.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
