DUBAN, Félix - Lot 60
DUBAN, Félix Château de Dampierre. [s.l., 1849]. Two drawings on tracing paper mounted on paper (44 x 30 cm; 44.8 x 32 cm) (corners creased, small tear in lower margin of one drawing). Bottom right: "Duban - Dampierre 1849". "Ornament of ... 1849 / Château de Dampierre". Winner of the Grand Prix d'Architecture in 1823, Félix Duban stayed in Italy between 1823 and 1828 as a boarder at the Académie de France in Rome. This decisive period in his training gave rise to an important series of architectural surveys and studies, comparable sets of which are preserved in the library of the École des Beaux-Arts. It is reported that the Duc de Luynes expressed to Duban his desire to make the château an art showcase for his family. In 1839, Duban accepted the Duc de Luynes' offer to restore Château de Dampierre. He set to work with his remarkable talent as a decorator and painter, as evidenced by our sheets and study projects preserved at the École des Beaux-Arts.
