Engraved View of Geneva from the Rhône River, Published in 1780
About the Item
Title: View of Geneva from the Rhône River (Vue de Genève, Du côté de la chute du Rhône)
Description: This finely detailed engraving depicts a panoramic view of Geneva as seen from the Rhône River. The image captures the city’s distinctive skyline, including buildings, towers, and surrounding landscape, with particular attention to the natural elements along the riverbank. The scene showcases a tranquil moment by the water, where figures can be seen near the edge of the river, possibly engaging in daily tasks or travel.
The engraving is signed "Dessiné par Breguand d'après Le Roy" in the lower left corner, indicating that it was drawn by Breguand after an original work by Le Roy. The inscription "A.P.D.R." at the bottom center suggests it was published with the approval of the King ("Avec Privilège du Roi"), a common notation in French engravings of this period. The plate number "No. 69" appears in the lower right.
The engraving is a captivating representation of Geneva’s natural beauty and its architectural heritage, as viewed from the banks of the Rhône River. It exemplifies the artistry and precision characteristic of 18th-century landscape engravings, capturing the balance between urban and natural environments.
This engraving of Geneva, titled *Vue de Genève, Du côté de la chute du Rhône*, was likely created in the late 18th century, around the 1770s to early 1800s. The style of engraving, combined with the signature "A.P.D.R." (Avec Privilège du Roi), suggests it was produced in France during a period when many views of European cities were popularized through prints and engravings. The artist mentioned, Breguand, working after Le Roy, fits within this timeframe.
