Nicolas Delaunay; Sigmund Freudenberger

Nicolas Delaunay and Sigmund Freudenberger were printmakers active during the late 18th century, documenting an artistic collaboration that spanned the years 1776 to 1784. Although specific artistic movements for the collaboration are not provided, their documented output consists entirely of prints, reflecting the popular tastes and genre scenes prevalent in the era.

Five prints representing their joint output are preserved in museum collections, confirming their significance within historical European graphic arts. These works are held in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Art. The surviving oeuvre includes scenes of domestic and pastoral life, such as two extant versions of Le Petit Jour and La Félicité villageoise, alongside the single print La Complaisance maternelle.

As documents from the 1770s and 1780s, these historical images are now frequently considered public domain. Representations of Nicolas Delaunay; Sigmund Freudenberger prints are often available as high-quality prints, making the artists’ work accessible as downloadable artwork for scholarly review and appreciation.
