Description

Watercolour heightened with touches of bodycolour and scratching out. In the Spring of 1840, Müller was commissioned by Messrs Hodgson and Graves of Pall Mall to produce forty watercolours of French views which related to the Renaissance period of Francis I. Of these forty, twenty-six were to be lithographed for a book `Sketches of the Age of Francis I’. Müller left from Southampton with his pupil Edward Dighton in early June and visited various sites in Normandy reaching Paris on the 17th. After a month there and at Fontainebleau, he visited Orleans, Blois and the Loire valley before returning to England from St. Malo in September. A watercolour of this view was published as plate XIII of `Sketches of the Age of Francis I’ in 1841, but with different figures.
