About the Item
A grouping of three antique engravings depicting statues found in the Vatican, including: "Pescatore" (Fisherman), "Pastore" and "Istrione", "Gia nella Villa Mattei" (Found in the Villa Mattei). These original engravings were created after drawings by Vincenzo Dolcibene (1746-1820) for the Il Museo Pio Clementino. They were published in Rome in 1784 by the conservator of the Capitoline Museum in the Vatican, Italian archaeologist Ennio Quirini Visconti (1751-1818). They are meant to illustrate the fine antiquities on exhibit at the Museum of Sculpture established in 1771 by Pope Clement XIV (1705-1774).
These prints are presented in identical distinctive and stylish black wood frames and double mats; the outer mats are light grey and the inner mats are black. The frames and prints are in excellent condition. Each frame measures 28" x 21.13" x 1". They would make a wonderful display grouping, but are also available as individual purchases, if preferred, for $1,575/each.

- Jean Racine Portrait: 17th C. Engraving by Edelinck in Perrault's Les HommesBy Gerard EdelinckLocated in Alamo, CAThis is a 17th century portrait engraving of Jean-Baptiste Racine by Gerard Edelinck (1640-1707), published in Charles Perrault's 'Les Hommes Illustres' in Paris in 1696. Jean Racine (1639-1699) was a French dramatist, one of the three great playwrights of 17th-century France, along with Molière and Corneille. Racine's works were primarily tragedies. He wrote Phèdre, Andromaque, and Athalie. He did write one comedy, Les Plaideurs, and a muted tragedy, Esther for young readers. His writing is renowned for its elegance, purity, speed, and fury. The American poet Robert Lowell described his style as a "diamond-edge" and the "glory of its hard, electric rage". Racine's works often displayed his psychological insight, the passion of his characters, and the stark reality of his plots and stage descriptions. In 1672, he was elected to the Académie Française, and two years later he achieved the title of "treasurer of France", and later the honorary title of an "ordinary gentleman of the king" to King Louis XIV, and subsequently a secretary of the king . This beautiful engraved portrait is printed on chain-linked, laid paper with wide margins. The sheet measures 17.13" high by 10.75" wide. There is a small spot in the lower margin and a few tiny faint spots in the margins, but the print is otherwise in very good condition. The original descriptive text pages, 81 & 82, are included. Provenance: This engraving was owned by Arthur Pomeroy, 1st Baron Harberton and the Viscount Harberton (1723-1798). He was an Irish politician, who represented County Kildare in the Irish House...Category
