Fantasy Capriccio of a Roman Palace
Brown ink and wash over traces of black chalk, ca. 1746, 205 x 270 mm., ex collections: Charles Gasc (Lugt 543) and Robert Huber (not in L.). Superb fantasy drawing showing a huge architectural structure (palace or temple) with a Greek portico entrance up two flights of grand, double staircases, both lined with statues, with figures on the stairs and in the foreground. A somewhat similar drawing in the Louvre (ML 25189) has an inscription saying that the drawing was made by Challe in Rome in 1746, along with a number of others, in a sort of competition with those by Piranesi, who was in Rome in 1740 for several years and then again around 1747 until his death. Challe, a pupil of Francois Boucher, won the Prix de Rome in 1739. He was immensely successful and popular during his lifetime and his drawings are much prized today.
