Description

Stampa raffigurante una strada della città di Visp (Viège), in Svizzera.

Veduta della cittadina, con il massiccio del Rosa sullo sfondo.  Stampa in bianco e nero raffigurante un paesaggio montuoso con un fiume. In primo piano sono visibili un uomo, una donna con cappello e quattro capre su una grande roccia.

Acquaforte, di Robert Brandard da un disegno di Samuel Prout, in ottimo stato di conservazione.

William Henry BARTLETT Londra 1809 - Malta 1854

English draughtsman, active also in the Near East, Continental Europe and North America. He was a prolific artist and an intrepid traveller. His work became widely known through numerous engravings after his drawings published in his own and other writers’ topographical books. His primary concern was to extract the picturesque aspects of a place and by means of established pictorial conventions to render ‘lively impressions of actual sights’, as he wrote in the preface to The Nile Boat (London, 1849).
