Victor Petit

Architecture Pittoresque ou Monuments des xveme. Et xvieme. Siecles: Chateaux De France des XV et XVI Siecles: Pl.14, Eglise de St. Maurice (Vienne)

1860

This lithograph with tint stone by Victor Petit documents the Church of Saint Maurice in Vienne, France, as part of his comprehensive portfolio surveying French architectural monuments from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Petit's detailed rendering captures the Gothic and Renaissance architectural features characteristic of the period, employing the tinted lithographic technique to convey both structural precision and atmospheric depth. The work exemplifies nineteenth century antiquarian interest in preserving and celebrating France's medieval and early modern architectural heritage through reproductive printmaking.
