Abraham-Louis Ducros was born in Moudon in the Canton of Vaud in Switzerland in 1748, although he spent his youth in Yverdon. The son of a calligraphy and drawing master, he continued his father’s work, replacing him as teacher when he died in 1764.
In 1776, he moved to Rome where he continued his artistic training. Here he produced several views of the papal city for travellers, and in this way came into contact with a number of Dutch personalities whom he later accompanied on a journey between the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and Malta during which he produced more than three hundred drawings and watercolours, which are now in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
Back in Rome, he published a series of watercolour etchings with the engraver Giovanni Volpato entitled Views of Rome and its Surroundings.
The artist’s name became increasingly well known among grand tour travellers to the extent that many commissioned Roman landscapes from him.
Between 1784 and 1792 he devoted his production purely to landscape paintings, immortalising the monuments of ancient Rome, the waterfalls of Terni and Tivoli and views of the Roman countryside.
Auction prices start from a minimum of EUR 87 for a small watercolour to an auction record of EUR 245,993 in 2001 for a large landscape painting of the Via Appia.
