ETIENNE FESSARD, AFTER CHARLES JOSEPH NATOIRE. The Chapel of the Enfants-Trouvés in Paris: Religieuses et garçonnets regardant la crèche

The Chapel of the Enfants-Trouvés in Paris: Religieuses et garçonnets regardant la crèche. Artist: Etienne Fessard (French, Paris 1714-1777 Paris); After Charles Joseph Natoire (French, Nîmes 1700-1777 Castel Gandolfo). Dimensions: Sheet (Trimmed): 22 1/2 × 11 1/4 in. (57.2 × 28.6 cm). Date: 1757.
From a series of fifteen plates engraved by Fessard after the paintings by Natoire in the Chapel of the Enfants-Trouvés, Paris. The chapel was built in 1746-50 based on designs by Germain Boffrand, but destroyed in the 19th century.  The main altar depicted The Adoration of the Magi and subsidiary scenes included the children and nuns of the orphanage as onlookers. Natoire's scenes were set into trompe l'oeil surrounds painted by Paolo Antonio and Gaetano Brunetti, giving the illusion that the viewer was standing in a ruined building.  Fessard's suite of prints includes a perspective view of the interior based on a drawing by Augustin de Saint-Aubin.
