The Triumph of Hannibal
DR1984:1641
Description:
- The turbaned figure being carried into the theatre seated on a litter certainly refers to a non-Roman figure, possibly Hannibal. Behind this figure is a theatre and an imaginary town on a hill. The town buildings recall the Sicilian monuments in the 'Voyage pittoresque ou description des royaumes de Naples et de Sicile' published by the Abbé de Saint-Non in Paris between 1781 and 1786. Desprez interrupted his studies at the French Academy in Rome from December 1777 to January 1779 to accompany Dominique Vivant Denon and several other artists to Naples and Sicily in order to make drawings for this publication. The town buildings also recall several buildings Desprez planned in Stockholm while stage designer and architect to Gustavus III of Sweden from 1784 to 1792.
