Voyage Pittoresque Ou Description Des Royaumes De Naples Et De Sicile: Contenant Le Voyage ou Circuit de la partie Méridionale de l'Italie, anciennement appellée Grande-Grèce
Voyage Pittoresque is a 1783 French travel book by Jean Claude Richard de Saint-Non, describing the kingdoms of Naples and Sicily for an educated European readership of collectors and armchair travellers. The four plates show hill towns, a stone aqueduct, mountain landscapes and ruined fortresses, populated by travellers, mules, carts and goatherds, drawn in fine etched lines with soft grey wash. A designer might borrow the atmospheric layering of distant peaks, ruins and figures for landscape backdrops or period-style scenic illustration.
