Voyage Pittoresque Ou Description Des Royaumes De Naples Et De Sicile: Contenant La Description De La Sicile
Voyage Pittoresque is a late eighteenth-century French travel book of etched views of Naples and Sicily, compiled by Jean-Claude Richard de Saint-Non and published in 1785 for armchair travellers and collectors of antiquities. Its plates show ruined temples on rocky hilltops, shepherds and travellers on mule paths, and Neapolitan streets, rendered in soft grey aquatint that a designer could use for landscape composition, atmospheric perspective and classical ruin motifs.
