Trip To Rome. Louis Vincent "la Dolce Vita"
Artist: Louis Vincent
Journey to Rome. Mixed media (watercolor, charcoal, wash) on "La Dolce Vita" paper, signed, located, and dated lower right: L. Vincent in Rome 1786. 35.5 x 26.7 cm (sight). French School. Louis Vincent, landscape painter, born in Versailles in 1758. A student of Louis Jean-François Lagrenée (1725-1805), he exhibited at the Salon from 1791 to 1795 (Source: Bénézit Dictionary of Painters and Sculptors). This drawing is a poignant testament to what the obligatory visit to Italy, and more specifically to Rome, represented for 18th-century painters in the eyes of the art world. Modern giltwood frame. Contemporary trompe-l'œil watercolor mat. Two traces of old creases: one at the top near the clouds and the other near the bottom near the statue's legs. Good overall condition. 890 euros.
