Further details

ALEXANDRE-JULES NOËL, VIEWS OF THE RIVER TAGUS, BODYCOLOUR ON PAPER LAID DOWN ON CANVAS AND MOUNTED, A PAIR

A pupil of Joseph Vernet and Jacques-Augustin Sylvestre, Noël was hired by the famous astronomer Abbé Chappe d’Auteroche to accompany him on an expedition to Baja California, from where he brought back drawings, published in 1772 in Voyage en Californie pour l’observation du passage de Vénus sur le disque du Soleil le 3 juin 1769.
The present two views of the Tagus is a reminder that the artist also travelled to Spain and Portugal shortly after 1780, at the same time as the artist Jean Pillement, where he produced several views of ports. An example close in style and composition to the present pair is preserved in the collection of Jeffrey Horvitz (A.L. Clark, Tradition and Transitions. Eighteenth Century French Art from the Horvitz Collection, exhib. cat., Paris, Musée des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris, Petit Palais, 2017, no. 113, ill.). An oval view of the Tagus in bodycolour and dated 1789 is in the Museu de Artes Decorativas Portuguesas in Lisbon (inv. 396; see ibid., p. 286, fig. 1).
