- 1780 Floral Spring Bouquet, Louis Tessier, Folio, Tulip, Poeny, Hand ColouredLocated in Norwich, GBFloral Bouquet engraved after Louis Tessier for "Livre de Corbeilles et Vases de Fleurs" Engraved by Jean-Jacques Avril Spring Bouquet with Ranunculus and Tulip. Measures: 36.4 x 27.7 cm "Avril l'aine, Sculp", in text, lower right; "L. Tessier, del" lower right. The six plates for "Livre de Corbeilles et Vases de Fleurs" (A Book of Baskets and Vases of Flowers) were engraved by J.J. Avril after paintings by Louis Tessier. The plates were hand colored and the coloring varies from impression to impression. This impression is a beautiful example of Tessier's eye for design, with his elegant use of space and the vivid color combinations by Avril. Despite the formality of the still life, the fun, haphazard arrangement of these fantastic flowers makes for a charming yet highly stylized image. Jean Jaacques Avril (the elder) was born in Paris in 1744 and studied architecture but became a student of engraver Jan Georges...Category

- Echoes of Elegance: The Engraved Legacy of Carlo Antonini, 1780Located in Langweer, NLA fine example of an 18th-century botanical engraving. Created by Carlo Antonini between 1777 and 1790, it showcases a detailed depiction of a flower in full bloom. The illustration is highly detailed, with individual petals, stamens, and shading rendered with precision, indicating a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that was characteristic of botanical illustrations of the period. The image is likely part of a larger work, perhaps a botanical compendium or study, which would have been used for both scientific study and artistic appreciation. The text at the bottom of the print, "Rarone Antico nel Foro di Nerva," analysed: The phrase "Rosone Antico nel Foro di Nerva" could potentially be translated as "Ancient Rosette in the Forum of Nerva." Breaking down the phrase: - "Rosone" typically refers to a "rose window," a large circular window with mullions and tracery radiating in a form suggestive of a rose, commonly found in Gothic architecture. However, in this context, without the surrounding content, it might refer to a specific design or feature that is described as "antique" or ancient. - "Antico" means "ancient" or "antique," indicating that the item or feature referred to as "Rosone" is of historical significance or from a past era. - "Foro di Nerva" refers to the Forum of Nerva, which is one of the Imperial Forums in Rome. Therefore, the phrase seems to describe an ancient or historically significant rosette (or possibly a design or feature similar to a rose window) located in the Forum of Nerva. This might be referencing a specific architectural detail or decorative element that was part of the forum's structure or adornment. For a detailed analysis or historical context, you would typically need to consult historical texts, architectural studies, or archaeological reports related to the Forum of Nerva. The style of the print suggests that it was created using engraving techniques that involve incising a design onto a hard surface (like a copper plate), which was then inked and used to produce the image on paper. This method allowed for reproductions of the design and was commonly used for scientific illustrations because it could capture intricate details with great accuracy. Such prints would have been important in the 18th century for the dissemination of botanical knowledge, contributing to the fields of botany, horticulture, and medicine. They also reflect the Enlightenment's value on reason and empirical evidence, where plants were not only appreciated for their beauty but also studied for their structure and utility. Carlo Antonini's notable work includes a series of 85 etchings that were published in Rome in 1780, dedicated to Count Stanislao Potocki. This collection, titled "Serie di LXXXV disegni in varie grandezze composti dal celebre pittore Salvator Rosa publicati ed incisi da Carlo Antonini," consists of reproductions of Salvator Rosa's 'Figurine' series and other prints. It includes various pieces like a title-page with a coat of arms, a dedication, a preface, and several other individual works ranging from small prints to larger ones, such as depictions of mythical and historical scenes. The etchings were printed in sanguine ink, indicative of the period's artistic preferences for printmaking. These works are an example of Antonini's precision in reproducing another artist's work and are recognized for their faithfulness to Rosa's original designs. Additionally, Antonini is associated with other works such as the "Manuale di varj ornamenti componenti la serie de' vasi antichi," a collection that includes designs and engravings of ancient vases, and prints dedicated to the Duomo Di Orvieto. Another significant piece is his engraving titled "Prospetto degli Orti Farnesiani sul Monte Palatino," which was created in collaboration with Francesco Panini...Category
