About the Item

Jean-François Joseph LECOINTE Paris 1783 - Versailles 1858 The Temple of Vesta at Tivoli, near Rome Watercolor and brown ink Signed and dated "Lecointe 1833" lower left 56 x 44 cm sheet 74 x 61 cm frame Our watercolor was exhibited at the Salon of 1833 in the painting section under number 1496. Jean-François Joseph Lecointe was a French architect who studied under Bellanger, then entered the Ecole spéciale d'architecture. He worked with Hittorf on the restoration of the Salle Favart (1823) and the construction of the Ambigu-Comique theater (1828). As architects to the king (Louis XVIII, then Charles X), they were both responsible for royal festivities and ceremonies. Together with architect Gilbert, Lecointe also built the Mazas prison (1836-1841), as well as private buildings such as the Hôtel d'Osmond on rue Neuve-du-Luxembourg, the Hôtel du Comte Turpin de Crissé on rue des Trois-Frères, tombs in Père-Lachaise, and the royal stables in Le Roule. In the 1830s, he traveled to Italy, particularly Rome and its environs, where he painted and sketched landscapes and ancient monuments in a free style. Our watercolor, with its particularly fine, detailed rendering, was undoubtedly reworked by the artist in his studio, so that it could be sent to the Salon as a painting.
