Notes

The BNF catalogue gives a date of 1608 without any justification. Sénard (2013) discusses the date. Martellange is known to have visited Avignon in August 1608, August 1609 and from December 1616 to February 1617. On each of these visits he drew pictures of the town which he dated. In spite of having these other pictures, it is not possible to confidently date this particular drawing. Bouchot (1886) pp. 30-31, also discusses the Avignon drawings but does not mention this particular picture (It is number 165 in his list).

The Pont Saint-Bénézet in the 1609 Avignon drawing by Martellange is missing arches 7 and 14. In this drawing arches 7 (assumed) and 12-14 are missing. The additional missing arches (12 and 13) in this picture suggests that it was drawn sometime after 1609. This provides support for the 1617 date. By 1685 the plan by Montaigu shows arches 5-7 and 12-18 had collapsed.
