Joseph Constantine Stadler (1755 - 1828) after Joseph Farington (1747-1821) Oxford High Street with Queen's College and University College  Engraving with hand colouring 22 x 33 cm Published by J & J Boydell. Joseph Constantine Stadler was a prolific German émigré engraver of images after his contemporaries - here, 18th-century English landscape painter and diarist Joseph Farington. Stadler's engravings are wide-ranging in subject matter and include landscapes, seascapes and portraits, as well as military, sporting and decorative subjects. Stadler was employed by the leading print publisher of the time, John Boydell. Stadler lived in Knightsbridge when he died at the age of 73. Joseph Farington was born in Lancashire and went to study with Richard Wilson in London in 1763. In 1764, 1765, and 1766 he won “premiums” from the Society of Artists for his landscape drawing; he became a member in 1765. He joined the Royal Academy when it was founded in 1769 and was elected an ARA in 1783 and an RA in 1785. Farington contributed works to the Academy’s exhibitions every year until 1801, but only occasionally between 1801 and 1813. He was an active member of the Academy and sat on several important committees, including the one which determined where artworks would be hung during the exhibitions. In 1793 he became a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and helped establish the British Institution. This particular edition depicts a view down Oxford High Street with Queen's College and University College in the eighteenth century. The hand colouring lends a unique charm to this engraving, where the light colours and calm streets suggest the sereneness of the start of an Oxford summer day.

Franciscus de Neve C17 engravings: Landscape with Shepherdess/Echo & Narcissus
By Franciscus de Neve
Located in London, GB
Franciscus de Neve (c.1632-1704) 'Landscape with Shepherdess Playing a Tambourine' and 'Echo & Narcissus' Engravings Both signed in the lower margin: 'Franciscus de Neue In. e fecit' and 'Si Stampano in Roma da Gio: Iacomo de Rossi alla Paca' Each 31.5 x 38.5cm (plate) Franciscus (or Frans) de Neve was a Flemish painter and engraver, born in Antwerp in 1632. His father, also an artist, was called by the same name, resulting in some confusion for art historians. The younger de Neve was working in Rome from 1660-1670, producing paintings for the Palazzo Doria-Pamphili (alongside Pietro da Cortona) and was known for his religious subjects, mythological scenes and landscapes. He was part of a network of Dutch and Flemish artists in the city, who helped to promote and support his career. Many of his works are known only from the engravings which in Rome were produced by Giovanni Giacomo de Rossi alla Pace (including these examples). After 1670 he travelled to Augsburg and Munich, then to Austria and Moravia, where he completed numerous commissions for altarpieces. Towards the end of his life he returned to his native Flanders and became Master of the Guild of Saint Luke. De Neve had a reputation as a gifted landscape painter, and these two engravings show his keen interest in the details of the natural world, as well as the influence of Claude Lorrain in the extensive vistas. The painting of ‘Narcissus and Echo...
