| description | The result of a revision process on the part of the publisher of Voyage Picturesque, regarding the original drawings and texts produced by participants of the expedition, is a collection of views of cities, landscapes and architecture of Calabria, which were prepared during the expedition organized in 1778 by the Abbot of Saint-Non and led by Dominique Vivant- Denon. A comparison of the Voyage with the original travel diary of Vivant-Denon, published in another edition, and with a series of sketches and preparatory drawings by Louis-Jean Desprez and Claude-Louis Châtelet, offers the opportunity to verify how those unexplored and largely unknown places were perceived and then interpreted, through the filter of the "brave" travelers who crossed Calabria at the end of the 18th century and, eventually, to also verify how those same places are still recognizable in their original structures. |
