Ruines du Château de Bouzols, près du Puy en Velay, Auvergne
Lithograph, 1831, from Voyages Pittoresques, Curtis 40, B. N. Inv. 6. Fine impression on chine-appliqué with small margins.
Isabey, in addition to being a superb painter and draughtsman, produced some of the greatest lithographs in France in the first half of the nineteenth century. Generally associated with Brittany and Normandy, he also did many of the plates for the Auvergne volumes of the Voyages Pittoresques, that most romantic endeavor of the Romantic Era. Information on the Chateau de Bouzols seems hard to come by (there is apparently another chateau of that name in the Loire), but it was clearly a spectacular ruin when Isabey saw it, the perfect image of a medieval mountain-top castle set among other mountains in the wild country of the Auvergne, and a perfect setting for legend.
