Reproductie van Les Saltimbanques door Gustave Doré c. 1874 - 1879

This is a reproduction of Gustave Doré's famous painting *Les Saltimbanques*, created by Charles Michelez between 1874 and 1879. It depicts a group of performers, or saltimbanques, in a theatrical pose, likely inspired by the work of French painter Edgar Degas. Michelez was a renowned printmaker and his work, though a reproduction, captures the essence of Doré's original painting. The image is a black and white print, showcasing the stark contrast and dramatic lighting that were hallmarks of both Doré and Michelez's styles. This artwork is a testament to the importance of reproduction in disseminating art and making it accessible to wider audiences.
