This set of four framed 18th-century French "Vue Perspective" prints from John Derian's curated collection of antique art transports you back to the Louis XVI period. Created by Jacques Chéreau circa 1780, these copper engravings are examples of vues d’optique, or optical prints, designed to be viewed through a special lens to enhance depth and perspective. Popular in the 18th century, these prints offer stunningly detailed optical views of iconic locations: the interior of the Sainte Geneviève Church, the Refectory of the Hôtel des Invalides, and the Palais de Ruspoli in Rome. With their intricate craftsmanship and rich historical context, these prints capture the fascination with perspective and visual trickery of the time.
