Richard Earlom: Mezzotint Engravings After Claude Lorrain, c1777, Framed
By Richard Earlom
Located in Richmond, GB
""Liber Veritatis"", c1777. One of the most accomplished engravers of the 18th century, Richard Earlom was born in London in 1742 and in his early years studied under the Italian painter and engraver Giovanni Battista Cipriani. His skill as a draughtsman was recognised by publisher John Boydell, who in 1765 commissioned him to make a series of mezzotint engravings after the paintings at Houghton Hall, a Palladian country house in Norfolk, England, built for the first British Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole...

Untitled Symbolic French Still Life by Laurent Schkolnyk
Located in New York, NY
This gorgeous and subtle still life print by Laurent Schkolnyk, realized in France during the latter half of the 20th Century. The work features an arrangement of objects on a plane, presumably a table. Fabric, appearing to be drapes in a sumptuous copper hue, gathers the right edge of the composition next to a perfume bottle with a bulbous base that tapers to a elegantly attenuated neck in a vibrant lime green hue with stylized foliate detailing in azure. The perfume bottle also offers an umber hued atomizer. Moving from right to left, there is a half circular bowl with an abstracted white...

Liber Veritatis: one plate
By Richard Earlom
Located in Saint Augustine, FL
An original engraving with mezzotint after French artist Claude Lorrain's drawing (1604-1682) by English artist Richard Earlom (1743-1822). From Richard Earlom's "Liber Veritatis", this is plate 147. Published in London by John Boydell, September 1st, 1776. Earlom executed a series of engravings of 200 of the drawings and sketches of Claude Lorrain, which was published in three folio volumes under the title of "Liber Veritatis", (1774-1819). Framed size: 15.25" x 17.25. Image size: 7.25" x 10.25". In very good condition.
Richard Earlom (baptised 14 May 1743 – 9 October 1822) was an English mezzotinter. Earlom was born and died in London. His natural faculty for art appears to have been first called into exercise by his admiration for the lord mayor's state coach, which had just been decorated by Giovanni Battista Cipriani. He tried to copy the paintings, and was sent to study under Cipriani. He displayed great skill as a draughtsman, and at the same time acquired without assistance the art of mezzotint.
In 1765, Earlom was employed by Alderman Boydell, a publisher and promoter of the fine arts, to make a series of drawings from the pictures at Houghton Hall; and these he engraved in mezzotint. His best works are perhaps the fruit and flower pieces after the Dutch artists Van Os and Jan van Huysum. Among his historical and figure subjects are Agrippina, after Benjamin West; Love in Bondage, after Guido Reni; the Royal Academy, the Embassy of Hyderbeck to meet Lord Cornwallis, Colonel Mordant's Cock Fight and a Tiger Hunt, all after Johan Zoffany...
