Pierre Louis Dubourcq

Pierre Louis Dubourcq was an artist active across the second quarter of the nineteenth century, working primarily between 1825 and 1849. His known artistic output consists of works on paper, with five drawings and five prints currently represented in major museum collections.

Dubourcq’s work often focused on figure studies and observational landscape documentation, particularly reflecting an interest in Italian subjects and travel. Figure studies include detailed drawings such as Staande jongeman and Seated Italian Peasant Woman, alongside occupational portraits like the Italian Farmer. His landscapes show an attention to natural and classical settings, demonstrated by works such as Rotslandschap met waterval. His travels in Italy are specifically cataloged through studies like Studies of the Villa Cicerone at the Lago Lucrino near Naples and of the Temple at Paestum (Italy).

The historical significance of Dubourcq’s output is established by the presence of his high-quality prints and original drawings in prestigious international institutions. Collections holding his works include the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Due to their age, many of his graphic works are now considered public domain, making them available as downloadable artwork for scholarly research and appreciation.
