Artist
Jean-Louis Prieur
Jean-Louis Prieur is a Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Working in late-18th-century Paris, Jean-Louis Prieur carved and printed scenes of the city’s streets and public life. Two prints in our collection show Parisian crowds around 1789, their hats and coats pressing close to the Bastille and city gates. His lines are crisp, the faces small but unmistakable, every print feels like a snapshot of a revolution in progress. Tap the Bastille gate in the foreground to zoom into this moment of change.
