Architecture Pittoresque ou Monuments des XVeme. Et XVIeme. Siecles: Chateaux de France des XV et XVI Siecles: Pl. 66, Château D'Yrouerre (Yonne)
1860
This lithograph by Victor Petit depicts the Château d'Yrouerre in the Yonne department of France, showcasing the architectural characteristics of 15th and 16th century French châteaux. Created as plate 66 from Petit's ambitious portfolio of 100 lithographs with tint stone, the work employs the artist's skilled technique of color lithography to render the castle's Renaissance and Late Medieval features with picturesque detail. The portfolio served as an important documentary record of French architectural heritage during the 19th century, when such historical monuments were subjects of growing antiquarian interest and romantic sensibility.
