Berthet, Henri (sold)
Henri Berthet (fl. 1856 - 1859) was a French artist, resettled in the De la Plata region of South America in the mid nineteenth century. Nothing is known of his life; he is known through the survival of two views he produced of Montevideo (1852 and 1859 respectively), and one other of Buenos Aires. These are extremely rare.

The view emphasizes the ferocity of the Rio de la Plata, the activity and importance of the port, and the increasing modernity of Montevideo itself. (more details)
