Quinze Dessins de Durer a Dufy Appartenant aux Collections des Musees Nationaux, issued in 1968, represents a landmark achievement in Parisian printmaking devoted to the faithful translation of historic master drawings into modern pochoir and lithographic form. Conceived and published by Daniel Jacomet in collaboration with Editions Artistiques et Documentaires, the album inaugurated a series dedicated to rendering canonical drawings with extraordinary precision, respecting line weight, tonal subtlety, and the original spirit of each work. Jacomets atelier was internationally renowned for its technical rigor and scholarly approach, bridging museum collections and contemporary print culture through meticulous craftsmanship. Drawing together works spanning centuries, from Albrecht Durer to Raoul Dufy, the album reflects a curatorial ambition rooted in pedagogy, preservation, and aesthetic continuity. Produced in strictly limited examples, including a small number outside the trade, the album exemplifies the highest standards of mid twentieth century Parisian printmaking and remains valued for its role in transmitting the legacy of master draughtsmanship to collectors, institutions, and scholars. About the Artist: Cornelis de Vos (1584–1651) was a Flemish painter and draughtsman active in Antwerp whose refined portraiture, intimate genre scenes, and lyrical sense of humanity established him as one of the most accomplished figures of the Northern Baroque. Trained within the dynamic artistic environment shaped by Peter Paul Rubens, de Vos nevertheless distinguished himself through a more restrained, psychologically sensitive approach that emphasized emotional clarity over heroic grandeur. Closely associated with the Rubens circle and working alongside contemporaries such as Anthony van Dyck, he shared patrons and workshop practices while developing a signature style marked by elegant realism, exceptional draftsmanship, and a profound sensitivity to character. His portraits of children and family groups are especially celebrated for balancing formality with warmth and immediacy. Rooted in Flemish Renaissance traditions and animated by Baroque vitality, his work reflects a sophisticated command of color, light, and composition, achieving a harmony between idealization and observation that gives his paintings enduring appeal. The structural intelligence and psychological nuance of de Vos art resonate far beyond his own time, anticipating concerns later explored by modern masters including Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray. Today, Cornelis de Vos is recognized as a central figure of the Flemish Golden Age, with works held in major international museum collections and sustained collector demand, underscored by his auction record set in July 2000 when an important portrait achieved approximately 3.1 million USD at Christies London.
