Description
Antique French Lithograph – Bozel, Savoie – Alpine Village Landscape (1864)
This original 19th-century lithograph depicts the village of Bozel, located in the Savoie region of the French Alps, presented within a wide mountainous panorama.
Published circa 1864, this print belongs to a series dedicated to Savoie landscapes by Félix Benoist, renowned for his precise and atmospheric views of Alpine territories during the mid-19th century.
The composition offers a balanced and highly decorative view: the village is nestled in the valley, surrounded by cultivated slopes and dense vegetation, while the dramatic Alpine peaks rise in the background. The scene reflects both rural life and the grandeur of the mountain environment, characteristic of early tourism imagery in the Alps.
Executed with refined lithographic technique and subtle tonal variations, this work is representative of Benoist’s documentary and artistic approach to regional landscapes.
A fine example of 19th-century Alpine iconography, appealing to collectors of mountain views, French regional prints, and historical landscapes.
