XIII, Paris, 1924 p. 36-38 for a discussion of the drawings related to this picture and the other version now in Dijon;Advertisement supplement, The Burlington Magazine, vol. 98, no. 639, June 1956, reproduced plate VIPrud'hon's talent manifested itself early. As a young boy he was taken under the wing of Devosge, director of the drawing school in Dijon, who recommended him to his first major patron, the baron de Joursanvault. As early as 1780 we can see the young artist applying his delight in allegory and the classical world in his Apotheosis of Baron Joursanvault (Dijon, musee des beaux-arts). Joursanvault sponsored Prud'hon's move to Paris and he spent 3 years (1780-83) visiting galleries and churches and enrolling in the Academie Royale although we know from his letters that he much preferred to work alone at home. From 1783-4 he returned to Dijon in order to compete for the Prix de Rome, which he duly won. Rome was to prove pivotal to his development and subsequent success. Between 1784 and 1788 he was able to immerse himself in the art of the Eternal city and indeed to make important contacts, most notably with Canova. In Rome he was to prove assiduous in his study of the Renaissance masters and his overriding admiration of Leonardo is clearly expressed in his correspondence, although his contemporaries were to dub him France's Correggio. This period was certainly to influence the way he viewed allegory and mythology and its lasting effect can be seen throughout his work in the years to come. After his return from Rome his reputation gradually increased despite the political upheavals that were erupting in France. He was much admired as a portraitist, gaining patrons and consequently expanding his oeuvre. Always aspiring to be a history painter, he provided designs for what has been termed the golden age of book illustration, and although relatively unknown he was sought out by the publisher Pierre Didot expressly for this purpose. Finally, during the Empire of Napoleon, Prudh'on would find the greatest favour of all from the Imperial court itself. This was the period of his grand portraits such as Empress Josephine at Malmaison and Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigourd as well as large scale mythological paintings such as Psyche carried off by the Zephyrs. He had previously shown a sure eye for decoration in a number of projects but he was now able to create independent works on a large scale. His position was sealed in 1810 when he was appointed drawing master to the new Empress, Marie Louise. The restoration of the Bourbon monarchy did not mark a fall from favour, and indeed Prud'hon was called upon to help create the official representation of the restored monarchy. He produced even more portraits, and at the very end of his life he was commissioned by the state to produce what has become one of his most famous works, Christ on the Cross for the cathedral at Strasbourg (Paris, Musee du Louvre).Apollo and the Muses on Mount Parnassus would certainly have appealed to Prud'hon as a subject. In essence the scene encompasses the ideals of classical learning through word and music and as such it became symbolic during the Renaissance of the re birth of knowledge. Prud'hon would have seen many Renaissance interpretations of this, from Raphael in Rome to Mantegna in Paris. The present sketch is remarkable in the vivacity of the figures, the bold under drawing being clear in many passages. Drawings of individual groups of figures for this composition exist in a private collection and were illustrated in Guiffrey's 1924 monograph. Indeed these drawings were then copied by Boilly (1) and were subsequently published as lithographs (2). In terms of Prud'hon's oeuvre, the present work is reminiscent of a number of allegorical and decorative schemes he produced in the period following his return from Rome. The decoration of the Hotel de Lannoy is the most famous of these schemes and was intended as a full cycle representing in essence the liberal arts through classical models. This work was followed by a period in which he expressed the aims and ambitions of the revolution in a series of allegories deeply rooted in the classical past. Dr Christoph Vogtherr, on examining the picture, has proposed that it could be a modello for a theatre curtain. Set designs were certainly produced by major artists and during the Napoleonic period such spectacles were as expected as the lavish court ceremonies that were staged throughout the reign. There is a 19th century copy of the work in the Musee des Beaux Arts in Dijon, at one time attributed to Prud'hon it was already viewed as a copy in the early years of the last century.1) Julien-Leopold Boilly, Terpsichore and Erato, drawing, black and white pencil on paper, Paris, Louvre, inv. no.

W. FRANQUINET (*1785) after PRUD’HON (*1758), Lamentation of Christ, Lithography
Est: €300 - €400
Willem Hendrik Franquinet (1785 Maastricht - 1854 New York) after Pierre Paul Prud’hon (1758 Cluny - 1823 Paris): Lamentation of Christ Christ on the cross with the mourning bereaved, Mary, Mary Magdalene and St John, at his feet, 19th century, Lithography Technique: Lithography on Paper Date: 19th century Description: The depiction shows Mary, Mary Magdalene and John kneeling in mourning under the cross of the dead Jesus. The lithograph has impressively captured the despair of the scene. The scratching out (of Jesus' body) creates white highlights in the image and heightens the drama of the scene. The French painter Prudhon is understood as a signpost of Romanticism. Prud'hon's painting is characterised by the impulses of the Roman Renaissance as well as those of the sculptor Canova and shows a particular softness and sensitivity in style. Signed in the lithograph lower left and right. With a circular embossed stamp at the lower centre of the sheet margin. Keywords: 19th century, Romanticism, Religious, France,

Prud'hon', Paris, 1924, p. 357, n° 947 Commentaire : Le mariage de l'empereur Napoléon et de Marie-Louise en 1810 fut l'occasion pour la ville de Paris d'organiser de somptueuses fêtes dont l'une se tint de nuit, le soir du 10 juin 1810. Pour assister au feu d'artifice donné ce soir-là, le couple impérial prit place sous une colonnade édifiée sur la place de l'Hôtel de Ville, dont Prud'hon fut chargé de dessiner le décor. Au-dessus des dix colonnes furent placées des statues réalisées d'après ses dessins, représentant diverses allégories dont la Science. Deux séries d'études de Prud'hon pour ce décor furent conservées : un ensemble de dix dessins qui fit partie de la collection Marcille (dont celui pour la Science, qui passa ensuite dans la collection Beurdeley et fut présenté en vente chez Christie's à Londres en 1999(1)) et une autre suite de plus petites dimensions, à laquelle appartient la feuille que nous présentons, qui fut transmise par Prud'hon à son ami Boisfremont. 1. 6 juillet 1999, n° 196.

XXIX Sylvain Laveissière, 'Prud'hon ou le rêve du bonheur', cat. exp., Paris, 1997, p. 131, mentionné dans la notice du n° 82 Commentaire : En 1806 parut chez Didot une édition de luxe du roman de Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, 'Paul et Virginie', dont l'illustration fut confiée à différents artistes, parmi lesquels François Gérard, Anne-Louis Girodet, Louis Lafitte, Jean-Michel Moreau le Jeune et Pierre-Paul Prud'hon. À l'exception de celui de Prud'hon, que nous présentons ici, les dessins originaux de cette édition sont reliés dans l'exemplaire sur vélin de l'auteur, conservé à la Bibliothèque nationale depuis 1949 (RES ATLAS-Y2-5). Préparatoire à cet ouvrage, cette feuille très aboutie fut gravée par Barthélémy Roger. Le dessinateur a ici représenté le tragique épisode de la mort de Virginie, lors du naufrage du Saint-Géran, navire de la Compagnie des Indes qui la ramenait de France vers l'Ile de France (actuelle ile Maurice) où elle avait grandit aux côtés de Paul, devenu son grand amour et qu'elle s'apprêtait à retrouver. Illustrateur attentif et talentueux, Prud'hon resta au plus près du texte de Bernardin de Saint-Pierre : " Virginie, voyant la mort inévitable, posa une main sur ses habits, l'autre sur son cœur, et, levant en haut des yeux sereins, parut un ange qui prend son vol vers les cieux ". Commandé en septembre 1804 à Prud'hon, le dessin dut être achevé en janvier 1805. Particulièrement abouti, il témoigne de l'immense talent de l'artiste pour le dessin, de sa grande maitrise technique et de son imagination fertile. Au centre de la feuille se tient l'héroïne du drame, Virginie, dont les cheveux et les vêtements s'envolent sous l'effet de la tempête, les plis de sa robe de fin tissu rappelant les drapés des sculptures antiques, tout comme sa gestuelle, faisant écho aux Vénus pudiques. La poupe du Saint Géran sur laquelle elle se tient s'enfonce dans les flots, traversée par l'écume magistralement rendue par la gouache blanche, tandis que des vagues émerge la tête de Paul, retenu par une corde par deux compagnons restés sur la rive. A l'arrière-plan se devine le paysage de l'ile, avec un imposant rocher au pied duquel se trouvent des palmiers dont les cimes sont retournées par le vent. Le romantisme affleure dans cette magistrale composition qui atteint son objectif en emportant les spectateurs que nous sommes au cœur de la tempête et du drame, au large de cette île de l'océan Indien.

Willem Hendrik Franquinet (1785 Maastricht - 1854 New York) after Pierre Paul Prud’hon (1758 Cluny - 1823 Paris): Lamentation of Christ Christ on the cross with the mourning bereaved, Mary, Mary Magdalene and St John, at his feet, 19th century, Lithography Technique: Lithography on Paper Date: 19th century Description: The depiction shows Mary, Mary Magdalene and John kneeling in mourning under the cross of the dead Jesus. The lithograph has impressively captured the despair of the scene. The scratching out (of Jesus' body) creates white highlights in the image and heightens the drama of the scene. The French painter Prudhon is understood as a signpost of Romanticism. Prud'hon's painting is characterised by the impulses of the Roman Renaissance as well as those of the sculptor Canova and shows a particular softness and sensitivity in style. Signed in the lithograph lower left and right. With a circular embossed stamp at the lower centre of the sheet margin. Keywords: 19th century, Romanticism, Religious, France,
