'Le Louvre et La Seine,' by Phillipe Benoist, Four-color Lithograph
This is a beautiful four-color lithograph of the Louvre by the Seine by Philippe Benoist. It is double-matted in light blue with a gold tone wooden frame.
Phillip Benoist was a painter, draftsman and lithographer, especially of landscapes and buildings. He was born in Geneva and worked in Paris where he was a pupil of Daguerre. (1813-1905)
Philippe Benoist, one of the most coveted lithographers of the 19th century, specialized in topographical views. He was best known for his lithographic portfolio, including the album "Vues d'Italie et de Sicilie" with 40 lithographs, which was published by Bulla & Delarue in Paris in 1848, for which the present, delicately executed drawing served as a template. Benoist lived from 1813 to around 1880.
