About
Why this artist matters now
Henri Mauperché was a French landscape painter and engraver who specialized in capriccio, the imaginative recombination of architectural and natural elements into fantastical vistas. Working in the 17th century, he created paintings and prints that prioritized poetic invention over topographical fidelity, positioning landscape as a vehicle for invention and visual play rather than documentary record.
