Eugène Viollet-le-Duc
Walker in a wood - Landscape in the South of Italy

1836

About the Item

Eugène Viollet-le-Duc (1814 - 1879) Walker in a wood, somewhere in the South of Italy (Naples/Sicily) Signed and dated at the bottom right, with the artist's mark (L.2924a) on the mounting. Drawing on paper, brown ink, and black chalk, with highlights of white gouache. 16 x 23 cm (27 x 34 cm with frame) Generally known as an architect, with his most famous work being the restoration of Notre-Dame de Paris, Viollet-le-Duc was also an exceptional draftsman and watercolorist. Between 1836 and 1837, he traveled to Italy and produced numerous landscape drawings. This drawing depicts a landscape in the South of Italy, probably in Sicily or Naples, which are the first destinations of his travel. Another view of Florence, executed in the same technique and during the same year, can be found in the Orsay Museum collection.

Landscape with Trees and a Fisherman walking, a drawing by Jan Van Goyen
By Jan Josefsz Van Goyen
Located in PARIS, FR
No Dutch draughtsman ever captured the atmosphere of the rural countryside of Holland with the same atmospheric and engaging simplicity that Van Goyen achieved in drawings such as this. Indeed, his landscapes were seminal in the development of the genre. The present sketch conveys a striking sense of movement within the natural landscape, conveyed by the deftly applied strokes of chalk, from which the artist’s hand can be sensed. The composition is characteristic of his work, with the low horizon affording significance to the broad sky and the soaring birds within. This feeling of windswept motion powerfully evokes the expansive Dutch farmland with which he was evidently preoccupied. 1. Jan van Goyen...
