About the Item
Antoine-Baptiste PETIT
Paris, 1800 – Versailles, 1864
Watercolor
18 x 27 cm
Antoine-Baptiste Petit was a decorative painter and teacher of perspective.
He produced views of Paris in the 1830s before painting landscapes of Normandy, Picardy and Brittany in the 1840s and views of Egypt in the 1850s.
This nice watercolor represents Paris in the 1830s/1840s. This is a view of architectures located at the corner of Rue Saint Denis and Passage Basfour in the second arrondissement, as indicated in the drawing. You can also see the different commercial names. The neighborhood has changed a lot since then. The most diverse professions coexisted at the time: trimmings shop, butcher, dental surgeon...
A description of this place in Paris was written in "History of Paris street by street, house by house", published in 1875. The following notice was written in 1857.
“The Basfour passage is located between rue Saint-Denis and the new rue de Palestro; but the top has disappeared since 1857. The passage has miraculously survived Boulevard Sébastopol ! The origin of the name: the street led to the ovens of the Plasterer of the Green Cross, which later became the cemetery of the Trinity Hospital. (…) Our fathers only knew of a dead end called Basfour, included in the king's census, and in 1714 this alley without a leader had only one house and one lantern. The house is No. 4; In the den of a coal burner there was an ancient chapel of the Trinity, where mass was said before the performances given in this convent by the confreres of the Passion; the local occupation had ceased to be monastic without taking away any of its property rights from the Trinity Hospital. The Vieilles-Étuves house also overlooked the cul-de-sac, but from behind, and the main entrance was rue Saint-Denis. »

View of Ariccia, a preparatory drawing by Achille Bénouville (1815 - 1891)
Located in PARIS, FR
This very modern drawing presents a view of Ariccia, a small town 25 kilometres south-east of Rome. The Palazzo Chigi (in which the film-maker Luchino Visconti would film a large part of The Leopard a century later) and the adjoining church are seen from the bottom of the ravine that surrounds the town. This drawing is a moving testimony to the attraction of the city for artists of the Romantic period, who established in Ariccia a vivid artists' colony.

View of the Ovo Castle in the Moonlight, a 19th century Neapolitan gouache
Located in PARIS, FR
Neapolitan gouaches appeared in the eighteenth century when tourism in the Naples area was developing: the discoveries of Herculaneum and Pompeii made this city a mandatory stop on the Grand Tour, the journey made by wealthy Europeans to complete their education.
Generally small in size for ease of transport and affordable in price, these gouaches were the ideal travel souvenir that these tourists of the early days were bringing back to capture the idyllic landscapes they had discovered during their journey and to share them with family and friends upon their return at home.
The Bay of Naples and the eruptions of Vesuvius are the favourite themes of these views. Here we have a view of the Ovo Castle, which was rebuilt on the island of Partenope, in the middle of the Bay of Naples and about a hundred metres from the shore by the Normans in the 12th century on antique ruins...
