Louis Visconti (1791-1853), architecte (1791-1853)

Dated 1791-1853, "Louis Visconti (1791-1853), architecte" is an artwork by Théophile Auguste Vauchelet. Background on Figurative: Figurative art depicts people and recognisable scenes, and it has been central to European painting since antiquity. Over the centuries, painters have used the figure to express social standing, narrative, and emotion. Context for 1791-1853: The Enlightenment and the habit of the Grand Tour fed a wider interest in science, travel, antiquity, and natural history, and illustrators accompanied many expeditions. The eighteenth century began with the light, ornamental Rococo, especially in France, and moved towards the clarity and antique references of Neoclassicism by the end of the century. It is listed in the Figurative collection. The image is in portrait orientation.
