AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful view of the countryside near Naples. In the centre of the lower section is a coat of arms, flanked by a dedication to Claude-Alexandre de Villeneuve, Comte de Vence (1702–1760), a French military officer. As the Comte de Vence is referred to in the text as an ‘Associé Libre’ of the Royal Academy (admitted in September 1753) and as a Maréchal de Camp (since 1748), the print can be dated to the period between 1753 and 1760. The plate was engraved by the French copperplate engraver Jean-François Feradiny (born in Paris in 1724). The painted model for this engraving was created by the French marine painter Louis-René Vialy (also Viali, c. 1680–1770).
Sheet size 33 x 48 cm
Condition
good, beautiful colour, water stains in the right-hand corners. Barely noticeable in the image.
