About the Item

Title: View of the Château de Saint-Cloud from the Second Courtyard, Baltard, 1803 Description: This finely executed original antique copperplate engraving presents an impressive view of the Château de Saint-Cloud as seen from the Second Courtyard. The composition captures the grandeur of the royal palace's elegant Baroque and Classical façades, with its monumental entrance, richly ornamented architecture, and expansive courtyard beneath dramatic cloud-filled skies. The Château de Saint-Cloud was one of France's most important royal residences, serving successive Bourbon monarchs before becoming a favored palace of Napoleon Bonaparte. Situated west of Paris overlooking the River Seine, it was celebrated for its magnificent architecture and formal gardens until its destruction during the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. Engravings such as this remain valuable visual records of a palace that no longer exists. The engraving was created by the distinguished French architect and engraver Louis-Pierre Baltard (1764–1846) and published in Paris in 1803 as part of the celebrated Napoleonic-era publication Paris et ses Monuments, mesurés, dessinés et gravés. This monumental work documented France's most important architectural landmarks through meticulously engraved copperplates of exceptional artistic and architectural quality. Combining historical importance with refined decorative appeal, this engraving is an excellent acquisition for collectors of French architecture, royal history, Grand Tour prints, and antique views of Paris and its surroundings. This is an original antique engraving printed in 1803 and not a later reproduction. It is offered unframed. Any framed images are shown for presentation purposes only.
