Jean-Ignace-Isidore Grandville

Jean-Ignace-Isidore Grandville was active in artistic production during a focused period spanning from 1803 to 1833. His documented output centers primarily on graphic media, preserved through prints and drawings held in major institutions.

The artist is represented in museum collections, notably the National Gallery of Art. This institution holds six works, comprising five known Jean-Ignace-Isidore Grandville prints and one drawing. Among the documented prints are thematic satirical works such as the pair Metamorphoses of the Day: A Conventional Marriage and Metamorphoses of the Day: Regrets, or Never till the Next Time. Other significant titles held in these collections include Bird's Eye View of a Man and Woman Conversing, Gare les Quilles, and The Ailing Cricket.

The verifiable documentation of these works provides insight into Grandville’s distinctive approach to printmaking during the early 19th century. As the source material is often within the public domain, institutions make high-quality prints and downloadable artwork derived from these originals accessible, ensuring the museum-quality standard of the surviving documentation.
