Louis Carrogis de Carmontelle, French, Figures Walking in a Parkland, 1783–1800. Watercolor and gouache with traces of black chalk underdrawing on translucent Whatman paper. J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, 96.GC.20, TL42418.3
Join us for a talk on a unique drawing by Louis Carrogis de Carmontelle in the special exhibition Dare to Know, with curator Joachim Homann.
Join curator Joachim Homann for an in-depth discussion about a rare, intact example of French inventor Louis Carrogis de Carmontelle’s multisheet drawings on translucent paper. The work, which appears in the special exhibition Dare to Know: Prints and Drawings in the Age of Enlightenment, was originally attached to rollers, lit from behind with candles, and unfurled for a captive audience. Homann will detail the impressive technology of the piece.
