Horace Vernet
Horace Vernet is represented in this archive by a single lithograph, a medium he used to record monuments and sites with documentary precision. The sheet belongs to the early 1830s and takes as its subject the opened tomb of Raphael in the Pantheon at Rome, a scene tied to the September 1833 examination of the grave. The collection thus offers one lithographic impression from a narrow window of that period, with any surviving copies reaching us as impressions up to the stated year.
