About the Item
Pair of landscape drawings, one showing a country outing with mountains and ruins in the background, the other showing characters in an imaginary setting of ruins.
Ink and wash on paper.
Sight size of each drawing is 9 1/4in. by 12 1/4in.
The second half of the eighteenth century in Europe saw the increasing influence of classical antiquity on artistic style and the development of taste. It was not until the eighteenth century that a concerted effort to systematically retrieve the glories of lost civilizations began. Illustrations of freshly discovered archaeological ruins in Athens, Naples (Herculaneum and Pompeii), Paestum, Palmyra (Syria), Baalbek (Lebanon), and the Dalmatian coast were disseminated throughout Europe in treatises with detailed descriptions, picturesque landscape views, reproductions of frescoes, and measured drawings of temples, theaters, mausoleums, and sculptures.
Our drawings are representative of this taste, illustrated by the landscape and architecture along with the travelers shown in the middle of the natural and artistic wonders depicted by a talented artist who left his work unsigned.
