St-Trophime Cloister   is an excellent etching realized in the Second half of the XIX Century by the Italian artist and architect Luigi Beltrami. The work depicts the cloister of an important French abbey: St-Trophime of Arles. The work is realized with strong strokes that define the whole composition in an excellent way. 

This work has been realized by the Italian artist   Luca Beltrami   (Genoa 1854 - 1933).   He initially attended the Brera Academy, which he abandoned to follow  Camillo Boito in the Higher Technical Institute. In 1876, he moved to the Paris School of Fine Arts and dedicated himself to study trips. He came back to Milan two years later and became a professor of architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts and then at the Polytechnic. Famous in the field of restoration, he is responsible for much of the current appearance of Piazza della Scala in Milan. It created the most important buildings on the sides not occupied by the Theater: Palazzo Beltrami (1886), Palazzo de La Permanente (1886), Palazzo Marino facade (1888-1892), Palazzo della Banca Commerciale (1923-1927) . He also carried out numerous restorations of medieval and Renaissance buildings (Castello Sforzesco in Milan, Rocca Sforzesca in Soncino, bell tower of San Marco in Venice). Other famous works include the Central Synagogue of Milan (1892) and the New headquarters of Corriere della Sera (1904).
