Description:
Ignace Duvivier, originally called Noble of Vivier, began his artistic career in Rococo Paris as a battle painter. He was a pupil and later a workshop assistant of the famous battle painter Francesco Casanova. When political events in the wake of the French Revolution made it no longer advisable for noblemen to remain in Paris, Duvivier also left France with the stream of refugees. He first went to Dresden. There Giovanni Casanova, the brother of his teacher in Paris, taught at the then flourishing academy. In Dresden, Duvivier found his real field of activity in landscape painting. It was probably there that he met the still unknown patron for whom he drew views of castles and palaces. Our print is one of a series of views that he created in the years around 1800.
