I. DUVIVIER (1758-1832), Coast near Platamonas, Indian ink Ignace Duvivier (1758 Rians (Var) / Marseille - 1832 Paris): View of the coast at Platamonas with the fortress and Mount Olympos, 19th century, Indian ink Technique: Indian ink over Pencil on Paper, mounted on Paper Inscription: lower left inscribed by the artist's hand: "Platamonde“, rechts unten: "Bord du Nil“, oben links in der Darstellung: "Olympe". numbered: "30." und "80". Date: 19th century Description: The captions that the artist offers us to locate what is depicted appear contradictory, as he gives Platamonas in Greece on the one hand and the banks of the Nile on the other as the origin of the motif. In terms of the landscape, the location on the coast at Platamonas with the castle and Mount Olympos in Greece is obvious.
