Tirpenne, Jean Louis
Jean Louis Tirpenne (August 26, 1801 - January 17, 1867) was a French-German painter, lithographer, and dramatist active in Paris in the mid-19th century. Tirpenne was born in Hamburg, Germany. He studied painting under Boutron. Tirpenne contributed to the lithographic work associated with the Auguste-Nicolas Vaillant (1793 - 1858) circumnavigation, particularly with regard to the work's views of Singapore. He died in Paris in 1867.

One of the earliest obtainable views of Singapore, this c. 1840 image was drawn by Barthélemy Lauvergne. The 2-color chromolithograph view likely looks east along Singapore River with the old bridge on South Bridge Road at center. Beyond, Battery Point with a hint of fortifications is evident. The low water level and dock extending into empty space underscores that this view was done during the dry season. The Chinese Campong is on the right - note the Chinese characters above the door.
Lauvergne was one of several artists accompanying the 1836 - 1837 Auguste-Nicolas Vaillant (1793 - 1858) circumnavigation. The scientific expedition arrived in Singapore on February 17, 1837 and stayed through February 23rd. It is safe to assume that Lauvergne sketched this view during the expedition's brief stay.
