67. Francois Antoine Bossuet (Belgian, 1800-1889)

European Street Scene.
sepia ink and wash, signed lower right, matted and framed.
14" x 9-1/2".

Bossuet was born in Ypres and died in Brussels. He specialized in architectural scenes as well as cityscapes. After training at the Brussels Academy of Fine Arts, Bossuet traveled in the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain and North Africa on an artistic Grand Tour. His journeys resulted in numerous works recording the city views, chateaux and ruins he saw along his route. Most of his works are intimate in scale, as is the present work. He wrote a manual on perspective, published in 1833 entitled "Cours de Perspective pittoresque."
