Carmontelle, Figures Walking in a Parkland

            Louis Carrogis de Carmontelle, Figures Walking in a Parkland (rouleau transparent), 1783–89 (France), watercolor and gouache with traces of black chalk underdrawing, on translucent Whatman paper, 47.3 x 377 cm (J. Paul Getty Museum)

A park modeled on fashionable English gardens complete with faux ancient monuments, meandering paths and streams and a petite chateau. This painted roll was designed to be unfurled slowly in a purpose built box that was illuminated from behind to bring the scenes and its stories to life for an aristocratic French audience in the final years of the ancien regime.
