Adolphe Pierre Riffaut

Adolphe Pierre Riffaut is represented here by a lithograph treating a subject drawn from art history, the childhood of Paolo Veronese, as published in the periodical "L'Artiste". His printmaking sits within the graphic culture of the mid-nineteenth century, when lithography carried reproductions and narrative scenes to a broad readership. The collection holds a single sheet from 1845, executed in that technique, with impressions up to that year.
