Artist
Charles I the elder Grignion
Charles I the elder Grignion is a Romanticism artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Charles I Grignion made late-18th-century portrait and comedy prints. Two tiny etchings in the set show Love in a Village, a popular stage play from 1762 turned into a crowded print, and Mr. Lewis cast as the tragic hero Hippolitus. Look past the powdered wigs to the sharp lines and busy stage poses, this was theater turned into pocket art. Tap Love in a Village to see the whole scene crammed onto one sheet.
