- Lot Description
Ambroise-Louis Garneray (French, 1783-1857), "Vue de port de La Rochelle" (View of the port of La Rochelle), ca. 1830 to 1850 CE. A wonderful and very large maritime engraving depicting a view of the port of La Rochelle - a marvelous example of French cultural history in North America. According to Didier Poton, "La Rochelle’s history is the history of its various ports, which manifest La Rochellers’ ability to embrace the changing dynamics of the Atlantic seaway in the 12th through the 18th centuries. La Rochelle’s early involvement in the great discoveries and its commerce with the Americas and the rest of the world—determined by the whims of colonial shipping companies and economic opportunities—established this port town as one of the major seaboard towns of the Atlantic realm." (http://www.ameriquefrancaise.org/en/article-628/La_Rochelle_and_French_North_America_.html) Size: 18.5" W x 14" H (47 cm x 35.6 cm); 35.24" W x 31" H (89.5 cm x 78.7 cm) including custom mats and frame under glass
Ambroise-Louis Garneray is generally regarded as one of the greatest French marine painters, as well as an engraver and writer. He came by it honestly, as his father was one of the preeminent Neo-Classical artist Jacques-Louis David's (1748-1825) first students. What's more, he was a seaman. In 1796, at the age of thirteen, young Garneray joined the French avy, encouraged by his cousin, Beaulieu-Leloup, who was also the commander of a frigate. Garneray served during campaigns and sea battles against the British in the Indian Ocean around Mauritius - he was even captured as a prisoner of war at one point. In addition to maritime views, he painted miniatures, portraits, and narrative/historicizing genre scenes in what became known as the Troubadour style, essentially a branch of Romanticism responsible for producing French historical paintings that depicted idealized scenes inspired by the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
