Catalogue Note
Claude-Louis Châtelet acquit rapidement une réputation en tant que peintre de paysages, ce qui le conduisit à être choisi comme l'un des illustrateurs principaux de l'un des ouvrages les plus importants de la fin du XVIIIe siècle : Voyage pittoresque ou Description des Royaumes de Naples et de Sicile, publié en quatre volumes entre 1781 et 1786 par l'abbé de Saint-Non.
On retrouve une copie gravée de ce dessin par François-Marie-Isidore Queverdo en page 127 de l’édition de 1783 intitulée Vue prise dans les environs de Reggio.
