ENGRAVING BY LACROIX AND LE VEAU APPROACHING A FORTIFIED PORT XIXTH L1752This engraving is from the 19th century, after a painting by Charles François Lacroix of Marseilles, engraver Jean-Jacques Le Veau. It is titled "The Approach to a Fortified Port". In Paris at Basset. Charles François Lacroix de Marseille was a landscape and seascape painter in the style of Claude Joseph Vernet, Jean-Joseph Kapeller (1702-1790) and Henry d'Arles. A pupil and imitator of Joseph Vernet, he stayed in Rome in 1754. From 1776, he exhibited with great success and spent a good part of his life between Italy and Provence. In 1780, he published an announcement to welcome students to his studio in Paris. Jean-Jacques Le Veau and Noël Le Mire engraved some of his paintings. Jean-Jacques Le Veau was a French chisel designer and engraver born in Rouen on January 9, 1729, who lived in rue Saint-Jacques (opposite the Collège du Plessis) in Paris where he died in April 1786. His frame is in stucco. For the state, we report some small rubbing, foxing on the work and in the margin, however the work remains presentable admitting the small defects due to age. Note wear of gilding and losses on the frame. You will notice that its protective tile is in place. For the state thank you for detailing the photos. Feel free to zoom.
