1798 -1871 · Rome, Fontainebleau and historical landscape
Architectural rocks, Italian horizons and silent mythology make Caruelle d'Aligny a rigorous master of the French historical landscape.
Théodore Caruelle d'Aligny was born in Saint-Aubin-des-Chaumes in 1798 and died in Lyon in 1871. He trained in Paris in the workshops of Jean-Baptiste Regnault and Louis Étienne Watelet, then chose landscape as his domain very early on. His long stays in Italy, in the 1820s and then in the mid-1830s, allowed him to study Rome, Naples, Amalfi and the great classical sites directly on the motif. He drew with Corot and shared with him a taste for clear construction, but his nature remained more severe, mineral and architectural.

A view taken in Amalfi, in the Gulf of Salerno, purchased by Louis-Philippe in 1835, pitted the rocky masses of the mountain against the brightly lit white city in the center. The real landscape becomes an ordered composition where each shot leads towards the light. In Prometheus, the mythological figure is part of a vast nature which gives torture its cosmic dimension. Caruelle d'Aligny also works in the forest of Fontainebleau and participates in the renewal of the French landscape before the rise of Barbizon, while remaining attached to the ideal of the historical landscape.
