Perpignan is a 1800 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a quiet street scene in Perpignan, France. Narrow buildings line a cobblestone path under a cloudy sky. The light falls gently on the walls. Mezzotint gives this print its soft, smoky look. The artist used tiny dots and lines to shape shadows. It feels almost like a photograph from that time. Try looking up work by Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de next.
