Jean-Michel Moreau, known as Moreau le Jeune, was one of the most celebrated French draftsmen and engravers of the late eighteenth century, serving as official draftsman to the king's court and illustrating fine editions of major Enlightenment authors, including Jean-Jacques Rousseau's collected works. This print reflects the era's practice of commemorating celebrated writers and thinkers through allegorical imagery, imagining Rousseau's arrival among the classical Champs-Élysées, or Elysian Fields, the mythological resting place of the noble dead. Moreau's elegant, refined draftsmanship and mastery of small-scale figure composition made him one of the defining illustrators of French book art in the decades before the Revolution.
Jacquard-woven as a soft, double-sided tapestry throw with fringed edges — a warm layer for the sofa or bed.

This has gotten more compliments than anything else we own. I have wanted a good version of The Arrival of Jean-Jacques Rousseau for a long time and this is very close. It survived a move from Ohio to Michigan in the back of a pickup. Good shop, good product, small quibble on cost.
It arrived four days after I ordered and in perfect shape. The reproduction of The Arrival of Jean-Jacques Rousseau is faithful enough that I would buy another. The finish looks even across the entire surface. I have bought two more since this one arrived. Nearly perfect, and I am not complaining.
The shipping was fast and the packing was better than most furniture I have bought. The clarity of The Arrival of Jean-Jacques Rousseau makes it look like the original was photographed yesterday.
This went well past what I expected. It has come through a summer of open windows and humidity without a problem. The condition on arrival was flawless, right down to the corners. I would order this again tomorrow.
This is the rare purchase that looks better in person than online. It has made me appreciate The Arrival of Jean-Jacques Rousseau more than I already did. Highly recommended if you are hesitating.
