Download or read book Catalogue of an Exhibition of Engraved Portraits by Robert Nanteuil 1630 1678 written by Frederick Keppel and Company and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-05 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of an Exhibition of Engraved Portraits by Robert Nanteuil (1630-1678): With an Introduction His earliest dated plates, about 1650, show strongly the influence of Claude Mellan. In general they are very quiet in tone, being practically without any deep shadows. The influence of Mellan is to be seen in the fact that the faces are almost entirely shaded with parallel lines, practically no cross hatching being used. The portraits of Ber nard de Foix and Le Bouthillier are examples of this manner. A little later, about the year 1654, his style changed, apparently under the influence of Morin. The general tone of the prints is still quiet, but a change may be noticed in the circumstance that the faces are partly shaded with very short lit tle burin strokes, which was an approach to the stipple method of Morin. The por trait of Dominique de I/igny is typical of this stage. The famous portrait of Nicolas Fouquet would also seem technically to be long to this period, although it bears the date of 1661. It was probably simply a re version to his earlier manner. From this period forward N anteuil seems to have oh tained more and more depth in his shadows, and to have used in the treatment of the faces a mixture of lines with light and very short burin strokes. The master's style steadily became broader and bolder and reached perhaps its culmination about the year 1658 to 1660. The year 1658 is marked by the wonderful portraits of Cambout, Basile Fouqaet, and Jean Loret. In these the treatment is very broad and masterly, more so, perhaps, than at any other period.

This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of an Exhibition of Portraits Through the intercession of friends, Fai thorne was banished to France. He made Paris his home, and under the patronage of the Abb de Marolles, the great print col Iector, he studied constantly to improve and perfect his art. About 1650 he returned to London, married, and took a house near Temple Bar, where he engraved plates and sold prints - Italian, French, Dutch, etc., as well as his own. This was the period of his greatest activity. During the following thirty years he made a great variety of portraits, frontispieces, etc., retiring from print-selling in 1680 to a house in Printing House Yard, Blackfriars, where he still engraved plates and made a number of crayon portraits which were much admired. Faithorne died in 1691. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Descriptive Catalogue of an Exhibition of Early Engraving in America: December 12, 1904 February 5, 1905 The material for the exhibition has not been selected in accordance with any critical standard, but with a view of showing - as broadly as limits of available space would permit - what was done by engravers here during early years of this country. No research worthy of the name has been possible during the year spent in gathering' the material. Such work is left to the student and collector along their chosen special lines in this vast field. The present catalogue has been compiled to serve not only as a guide through the exhibition, but as a handbook for collectors of early American prints. An alphabetical arrangement by engravers has been adopted as most serviceable. For convenience in find ing certain subjects, an Index of Subjects has been added at the end of the volume.

This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Catalogue of the First Editions of the Works of Alexander Pope, (1688-1744): Together With a Collection of the Engraved Portraits of the Poet and of His Friends An attempt has been made to classify the numerous engraved portraits of Pope, which are arranged under the names of the several artists who painted his portrait. In the ah sence of any authoritative information on the subject of the original portraits in existence, it is possible some errors have been made in assigning the original after which the engrav ers worked. But it is hoped that the succes sors to the present compilers will be able to correct these errors as well as largely increase the record of engraved plates. It is a sig nificant fact that the present exhibition marks the two hundredth anniversary of the publi cation of the Essay on Criticism, which was the first book issued by the then unknown poet, whose influence in English literature dominated the century in which he lived.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of Engraved British Portraits, Vol. 4: Preserved in the Department of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum The following is the fourth volume of the Catalogue of 'Engraved British Portraits, ' the work of Mr. Freeman O'Donoghue, the first volume of which was published by the Trustees in 1908, the second in 1910, and the third in 1912. The fifth volume is intended to contain a section describing engraved portrait groups, a supplement dealing with portraits added during the printing of the Catalogue, and an index to painters and engravers. The present volume includes the letters S - Z. The same general principles of order and arrangement have been followed in this as in the former volumes. They are fully stated in the Preface to Vol. I., and are here recapitulated in order to save uncertainty and trouble to those using the present volume separately. Royal personages are in all cases entered under their Christian names. When two or more persons, not being peers or peeresses, bear the same surname, they are catalogued in the alphabetical order of their Christian names. Peers and peeresses are placed under their titles, the ladies following their husbands. In cases where the same title has been held at different periods by persons of different name and family, the several groups of holders are arranged not in the alphabetical order of their family names but in order of date. Successive holders of the same title who belonged to the same family are similarly arranged in order of succession and not in the alphabetical order of their Christian names. In cases where the title of nobility is also the family name, the holder of the title is placed before commoners of the same name. All titled persons are catalogued under the latest style or title to which they attained, cross-references being given from any earlier style or title appearing on portraits of them engraved before their final promotion.
