Chateau de Chaumont PET47 $275

Always enthusiastic about our prints, every once in a while we come across a selection that puts us over the top. We were so entranced by these when they arrived that we didn’t need to eat dinner! The beautiful images of the Châteaux of the Loire valley recreate for us a part of France that is among the most beautiful places in all of Europe.

As a student in France in early adulthood, I was able to visit the Loire Valley, or Garden of France, from time to time so it is firmly fixed in my mind as the closest to a fairy tale place in the whole world. Around every turn stands a castle more magnificent than the last and each the stuff of legends.

This magnificent work captures each chateau in such breathtaking and vivid detail, it is almost present in real life! Originally conceived by the prominent architectural historian du Sommerard and brought to fruition by the talented artist and engraver Victor Petit, there is no finer testament to the architectural magnificence of the Loire Valley.

For over a thousand years from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, the aristocracy and rulers of the realm built forts and castles in the Loire Valley; today it is a world heritage site.

Each duotone print in superb condition measures approximately 21 1/4" x 15 3/4." The book was a deluxe publication of the highest quality and the lithography is unsurpassed in its beauty.
