Baron Dominique Vivant Denon
Baron Dominique Vivant Denon is represented here by a small group of prints that move between religious narrative and homage to old masters, from Christ on the Mount of Olives to a Calumny after Raphael. Etching dominates the group, with one sheet combining aquatint and engraving in its third state, and the impressions date from 1783, including later printings. The collection holds five works in total, offering a compact view of Denon's graphic work in this period.
