Artist: Alexandre Hyacinthe Dunouy
Size: 22 x 31 cm
Technique: Oil On Paper
In the first decade of the nineteenth century, Dunouy received numerous commissions to paint views of country estates within a short distance of Paris. Since the eighteenth century, châteaux including Ermenonville, Malmaison, Montmorency, Mortefontaine, and Saint-Cloud had all acquired parks in the informal, English style seen in this sketch. The English in their turn had drawn inspiration for their private parks from the arcadian paintings of seventeenth-century French artists working in Italy, such as Nicolas Poussin and Claude Lorrain.
