Dated 1823 - 1825, "Seven, Saoven ou Sovan. (Ilithya, Junon-Lucine.) 3" is an artwork by Léon-Jean-Joseph Dubois. About the period around 1823 - 1825: The first half of the nineteenth century moved from Neoclassicism to Romanticism, which placed emotion, nature, and the sublime at the centre of painting. The invention of lithography around 1796 and its spread in these decades made printed images cheaper and more varied. Illustration, a short history: The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are often described as a golden age of book and magazine illustration. Illustration serves a text or a story, a tradition that runs from decorated medieval manuscripts to printed book plates, magazines, and posters. The catalogue places it in Illustration. The format is portrait.
