An excellent copy of this scarce and important colored plate book on the daily life of Rome together with its architectural and grandeur at the beginning of the 19th century during the reign of Pius VII. The series is the best-known work of Antoine Jean-Baptiste Thomas (1791 1834). It originated as an album of 140 watercolors (sold at Druot in 1869) which he completed during his stay in Rome as recipient of the prestigious Prix de Rome. The prize conferred upon him a two-year stay at the magnificent Villa Medici from November 1816 to December 1818, with opportunities to study, have contact with the city's cultural elite and the life of the papal city. The watercolors were purchased in Paris in 1963 for the Museo di Roma, and were the subject of an extensive exhibition and beautifully-illustrated catalogue in 2016 to mark the bicentennial of their creation. In the catalogue the author thus describes the work: It is a real reportage on Rome and its people. With a graphic gesture of great wisdom and ease, animated by a taste for luministic ideas and chromatic variations that is never trite. The young French artist unfolds his most remarkable experiences of the civic and sacred daily life of the city.» [D'Amelio, Angela Maria et al. "Antoine Jean-Baptiste Thomas e il popolo di Roma : 1817-1818" Exhibition catalogue, Museo di Roma. Rome: Campisano Editore, 2016] Of the 140 watercolors, a selection was made to be engraved by Jean-François Villain (c 1790 1852), and the texts were written by Thomas himself. Among the illustrations are civil and religious festivities, fireworks, processions, performances, a bull fight, the dresses of people and prelates, grand views of the city, executions, and funerals. A second edition followed in 1830 although Colas notes that the coloring for the later edition is, in his opinion, inferior. This is the earlier 1823 edition with superior coloration; each lithograph exhibits extensive hand-work and exceptional attention to color and detail. The pigments are in each case lively, fresh, and saturated, serving well to escape the binary tonality of basic lithography. A resplendent example. A copy can be found in the collection of the British Museum.
