Peter Paul Benazech

Peter Paul Benazech is represented in this archive by a pair of engraved views of Charenton near Paris, the suburb whose two prospects give the sheets their titles. Both prints come from the engraver's burin, the technique shared by every item attributed to him here. The collection therefore holds a small, coherent group of two engravings rather than a broad survey, and the surviving impressions may stem from later printings beyond the artist's lifetime. Subject and medium place the pair within the topographical print tradition of eighteenth-century Paris and its surroundings.
