About the Item

Etching on a large sheet of light cream wove paper, Baron Dominique Vivant Denon (after Jean-Honoré Fragonard); Paris: c 1900; 4 3/4 x 3 1/2 inches (120 x 90 mm), full margins. In good condition with minor edge wear, well outside of image area. An etching after the c1780 illustration by Fragonard, likely printed early 20th century. The British Museum offers the following biographical information regarding the artist: "Painter, draughtsman, etcher, curator and author. Worked as a diplomat in Naples (1779-85), where he learned how to engrave; travelled through Italy in 1788/89 and settled in Venice from where he was expelled in July 1793, prompting his return to Paris; in 1797/98 with Napoleon on the Egyptian campaign. In these years turned his amateur etchings into a business, and published two catalogues of his work (in 1793 and in 1803). Appointed in 1803 as (first) director of the Louvre, and put in charge of the Gobelins, Sèvres and the Monnaie; for this created a Baron. In charge of deciding the works to be removed from occupied Europe for the Louvre. Resigned in 1815 and spent his retirement in writing and organising the plates of his 'Monuments des arts du dessin', which was based on his own enormous private collection. Died in 1825 and his collection subsequently was sold in a series of auctions."
