Description

After Joseph VERNET (1714-1789) engraved by Jacques-Philippe LEBAS (1707-1783). "L'intérieur du port de Marseille", Ports de France series. Etching in grisaille titled and numbered 2 lower left (freckles, halos and stains). Height : 54 cm - Width : 75 cm In 1753, the Marquis de Marigny proposed to King Louis XV that he commission a series of paintings depicting the ports of France to promote the French Navy. The commission went to Joseph VERNET, a painter returning from Italy. Of the twenty-four paintings commissioned, fifteen were completed: Marseille, Bandol, Toulon, Antibes, Sète, Bordeaux, Bayonne, La Rochelle, Rochefort and Dieppe. These paintings would make Joseph VERNET one of the greatest painters of the French Navy, with each painting presenting the specific activities of each region in the foreground. The series was completed by VERNET's pupil Jean-François HUE. From 1758 onwards, the paintings were reproduced in a series of engravings by Charles-Nicolas COCHIN and Jacques-Philippe LE BAS.
