Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin

Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin was active in printmaking during a highly concentrated period from 1790 to 1795. Although biographical details outside this timeframe are not provided in the collection data, his verifiable output reflects a focus on both landscape and portrait subjects at the close of the eighteenth century.

A significant portion of Saint-Mémin’s documented artistic legacy is preserved in the collections of the National Gallery of Art, totaling fourteen individual prints and one compiled volume. These works confirm his mastery of the etching and engraving mediums typical of the era.

Specific works represented in the collection include the print Madonna della seggiola, the architectural study Landscape with House, and the notable geographical depiction View of Ticonderoga from Lake Champlain. Also documented are the portrait William Rodman and the catalogue entry Saint-Mémin Collection, Group 57.

The preservation of this material ensures its continued availability for scholarly review. Due to the age of the work, much of Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin’s prints are currently in the public domain, allowing institutions to provide downloadable artwork and high-quality prints for research and educational purposes.
