Incendie d'un port 1769

"Incendie d'un Port" (Fire in a Port) is an etching created in 1769 by Anne Philiberte Coulet (1736-1799). The artwork is a detailed depiction of a harbor scene illuminated by the glow of a fire, with a focus on the human activity taking place along the waterfront. The etching captures the chaos and drama of the fire, with smoke billowing through the sky and figures scrambling to escape. It is a striking example of Coulet's skill as a printmaker and her ability to convey a sense of urgency and atmosphere in her work. The artwork is currently housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
