Made to measure and on order in France

Eco- responsible

Partnership with French museums

Edited in 1823, this panoramic wallpaper was made by the Manufacture Dufour & Leroy. It evokes an idealized Italy through some of its most picturesque cities: Naples, Genoa, Rome… At the beginning of the 19th century, Italy and the antique style are very much in fashion. Lots of engravings depicting Italy are circulating around Europe. A novel by Madame de STAËL (1766-1817), Corinne ou l’Italie, was a bestseller of the time. Artists craved for winning the prestigious Rome Prize. Thus, the creation of the mural, « Views from Italy », echoed the contemporaries’ keen interest on the subject.

The Dufour workshop’ designers have been inspired by Constant Bourgeois’ engravings for the landscapes, and by Joseph Vernet’s paintings for the characters.

Revitalizing such fabulous panoramic wallpaper by means of digital restoration was a patient and meticulous completed by our workshop.
