Four portfolios of drawings of Italian views, interior designs, Empire style furniture, military subjects, and other diverse subject matter

printed first half of the 19th century

The four portfolios of drawings and prints in this group are entitled: Croquis à placer en papier; Croquis divers; Vues d'Italie; and Croquis arrangement de boutiques, de meubles, et de decorations (DR1974:0002:030:001 - DR1974:0002:030:008; DR1974:0002:030:009 - DR1974:0002:030:030; DR1974:0002:030:031 - DR1974:0002:030:050; DR1974:0002:030:051 - DR1974:0002:030:065. -- Porfolio Croquis à placer en papier, comprises three unidentified topographical views in graphite, a drawing of furnishings from the Palais Matteï, Italy [?], a still life of fruit, and a drawing of an elephant. -- Portfolio Croquis divers, comprises both record and design drawings - ranging from sketches to renderings - of varied subject matter. The record drawings include a rendering of the Hôtel de ville, Brussels, and line drawings of a baldachin and an urban square. The design drawings for buildings and interiors in Classical, Gothic and Exotic Revival styles are probably by Hubert Rohault de Fleury and include: line and finished drawings for a dairy after Jean François Joseph LeCointre; an imaginary church, perhaps inspired by Pugin; and a hôtel on rue de Varennes, Paris. Several drawings and prints depict military subject matter: fortifications after Louis de Cormontaigne, a battery, a cannon, and revolutionary battle scenes, some in Paris. Also included are several drawings of non-architectural subject matter - a coat of arms, perhaps of the Bougainville family, cossack soldiers, a boar hunt, a rock formation and lithographic maps of Istria and Rhodes. -- Portfolio Vues d'Italie, consists of mostly freehand drawings of Italian views and buildings in Paestum, Arezzo, Naples, Rome, Caprarola, Florence, Fidenza, Genoa, and Tivoli. The buildings and urban spaces include: Villa Belvedere, Naples; the Cathedral of Borgo S. Donino; the Temple of Vesta, Tivoli; the Campidoglio, Piazza del Popolo, Palais Maccarani, Arc de Septimus Severus, Ste. Pudenziana, and Baslica of Constantine, all in Rome. The presence of preparatory drawings for some of these views suggests they were intended to be published, either as individual prints or in a book. -- Portfolio Croquis arrangement de boutiques, de meuble et de decorations, comprises mostly finished watercolour drawings for Empire style interiors and furniture, probably designed by Hubert Rohault de Fleury. Also included are an elevation for a storefront for Batton Magasin de Fleurs Fines, drawings for two garden structures, and elevations for classical interiors and mouldings.
