Excellent conditions. Excellent black and white lithograph depicting the portrait of the great Italian author and poet Francesco Petrarca. The figure is in pose and express a great magniloquence and monumentality with a refined and elegant stroke. Henri Grévedon (Paris, 1776 - Paris, 1860). Grévedon studied painting in the Parisian workshop of Jean-Baptiste Regnault, professor of painting at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Henri Grévedon exhibited from 1798 to 1806 and received a second medal in 1790. He was a first class gold medal in 1805 and won the first prize of the torso in 1806. He competed without success for the Prix de Rome in 1805 and 1806. According to Henri Beraldi, he "traveled the world, going to seek success in Russia in 1806 where he became an associate of the Academy of Saint Petersburg. He stayed in Stockholm in 1812, then in London, finally retured to Paris in 1816. Soon he devoted himself completely to lithography, and found there a reputation which would not have come to him with painting". He executed many painted portraits, paintings and miniatures, then he drew directly on the lithographic stone, working in particular for the workshop of Charles Motte during the 1820s. At the Salon of 1824, he won for the second time a gold medal for first class. Among the personalities he represented between 1825 and 1845, there were many actresses and dancers of his time such as the Taglioni, Fanny Elssler, La Malibran, Léontine Fay, Lucile Grahn, Rachel, etc.
