Description
Litografia raffigurante la rocca e la città di Ronciglione, firmata e datata "C. Bourgeois 1817" in basso a sinistra.
Della serie Vues d'Italie, una raccolta di 28 litografie stampata da Charles Philibert du Saillant, Comte de Lasteyrie, nel 1817-1818.
Florent-Constant Bourgeois, detto “Bourgeois du Castelet” era originariamente un ufficiale militare. Bourgeois si dedicò esclusivamente all'arte a partire dalla metà degli anni '90, perfezionando la sua formazione nello studio di Jacques-Louis David, dove si specializzò in paesaggi e divenne soprattutto uno straordinario disegnatore; Paul Marmottan, nella sua "Ecole française de peinture, 1789-1830", fa riferimento alla sua " grande pureté de style et l’exécution brillante de ses dessins, la plupart très remarquables, notamment ceux au lavis". Molto ricercato e apprezzato durante la sua vita, Bourgeois ha ricevuto numerosi premi e riconoscimenti artistici, una casa al Louvre e la Legion d'onore nel 1827. Viveva al numero 3 di quai Malaquais a Parigi.
La sua attività di pittore è oggi meno conosciuta, eppure espose quadri in quasi tutti i Salon dal 1791 al 1830, con solo vedute dell'Italia per il periodo dalla Rivoluzione al Consolato.
Bellissima prova, in ottimo stato di conservazione.
Rara.
