About the Item

Le Peseur d'Or (The Money Exchanger) is a wonderful black and white etching on wire rod cream-colored paper, realized by Léopold Flameng, an after by the Flemish artist Gabriel Metsu (Leida, 1629 - Amsterdam, 1667). This is a superb specimen, a print proof before letter, with the title and the inscriptions below the image "Gabriel Metsu pinx/ Léopold Flameng sc.". This original print would have been published later on the Gazette des Beaux-Arts. This original etching represents a cynic money exchanger, whose only value in life is evil money and does not feel sympathy in front of a crying woman. The deep and vibrant blacks intensify the dramatic atmosphere, demonstrating the superb draftsmanship of the French artist. In good conditions, except for a usual yellowing of paper and a diffused foxing above all on the lower margin. The area of the etching is also intact. Leopold Flameng (Brussels, 1831 - Courgent, 1911) was a French artist, well-known for his etchings reproducing works by Jan van Eyck, Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Ingres and Delacroix, Boccaccio, Paul Scarron, Victor Hugo and François Coppée, producing one-hundred beautiful illustrations. He at first studied with Luigi Calamatta and Jean Gigoux. His talent as engraver was noticed by Charles Blanc, and his collaboration on the Gazette des Beaux-Arts with his fellow engraver Léon Gaucherel helped to improve the reputation of the publication. He was a medallist at the Universal Exhibition (1878), and was elected member of the Academy of Fine Arts in 1898. Léopold Flameng (1831, Brussels –1911, Courgent) The French engraver, illustrator and painter is known for his etchings of works by Jan van Eyck, Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Ingres and Delacroix.
