Antoine-Victor-Edmond-Madeleine Joinville, French 1801-1849- 5 Neapolitan drawings: The Grotto of Posillipo; View of Naples; Castellamare; Vico; View of Pozzuoli; each pencil on paper, the first with the artist’s studio stamp ‘Vente Joinville’ and dated ‘26 April 1823’ (lower right), 25.7 x 20.7 cm., the second dated ‘le 6 Novembre 1823’ and inscribed ‘1.2.B’ (lower edge), 23.6 x 39.4 cm., the third dated ‘Nobre 1823’ (lower right), 20.6 x 30 cm., the fourth with the artist’s studio stamp ‘Vente Joinville’ (upper left), 20.5 x 29.1 cm., the fifth with the artist’s studio stamp ‘Vente Joinville’ (upper left), 22.4 x 28.9 cm., five (5). Note: Joinville was principally celebrated as a landscape painter, and is often identified as part of the second generation of classical landscape painters who were active in Italy in the 19th century, alongside figures including Jean-Baptiste-Camile Corot (1796-1875) and Edouard Bertin (1797-1871). He first visited Italy in 1823, an experience which clearly had a strong influence on him, inspiring him to produce a number of views of the country and leading him to often return there over the following years. The Duchess of Berry (1798-1870) commissioned him to paint numerous Sicilian views and he exhibited many of his Italian views at the Parisian Salon between 1831 and 1848.
