Edelinck eques effigiem Sc.” as drawn by Jean-Marc Nattier and engraved by Gérard Edelinck. The print is the third sheet of the series ‘La Gallerie du Palais du Luxembourg’ published in 1710, which reproduces Rubens' Medici cycle.
- Strong impression with minimal creases in the title page
- The luminosity of the print -
The most renowned French engravers of the time were involved in the prestigious gallery work published in 1710. This work depicts Rubens's Medici cycle at the Palais des Luxembourg, and Gérard Edelinck was considered particularly masterful among these engravers. Created in the year of his death, the engraving illustrates how the artist depicted the materiality of the robes, capturing their shimmering effects of light and shadow. The print captivates with its almost diffuse atmosphere, in which the face's clear precision stands out particularly well.
The print exemplifies the creative power and significance of reproductive graphics. Peter Paul Rubens created the exemplary painting, and the highly sought-after court portraitist Jean-Marc Nattier made the drawing from which Edelinck engraved the print. Thus, it is ultimately a joint work by three extremely talented artists.
About the artist
Gérard Edelinck was born in Antwerp and was educated by the Jesuits. He first studied printmaking with Gaspar Huybrechts from 1652 to 1653, and then became a pupil of Cornelius Galle the Younger. In 1666, Edelinck traveled to Paris, where he worked with François de Poilly, Robert Nanteuil, and Philippe de Champaigne. Edelinck's artistic virtuosity was highly regarded, and he was appointed royal engraver by Louis XIV in 1675. He then moved into an apartment in the Royal Tapestry Manufactory. Louis XIV alone portrayed Edelinck thirteen times. Edelinck became a member of the Academy of Fine Arts in 1677 and was knighted in the Order of St. Michael in 1695. His works were coveted collector's items by the 18th century.
GERMAN VERSION
Gérard Edelinck (1640 Antwerpen - 1707 Paris), Johanna von Österreich, 1707. Kupferstich, 51,2 cm x 29,8 cm, unter der Darstellung mit der Inschrift versehen: „Jeanne d'Autriche Grande Duchesse de Toscane. Fille de l'Empereur Ferdinand 1.er ["er" hochgestellt] & mére de la Reine Marie de Médicis, naquit à Prague en 1547. & en 1565. elle épousa François premier, Grand Duc de Toscane, et mourut à l'age de 32 ans en 1578”. Unten links mit “Rubens pinxit” als von Peter Paul Rubens gemalt und unten rechts mit „I. M. Nattier delineavit“ und „G. Edelinck eques effigiem Sc.“ als von Jean-Marc Nattier gezeichnet und von Gérard Edelinck gestochen ausgewiesen. Bei der Grafik handelt es sich um das dritte Blatt der 1710 publizierte Folge ‚La Gallerie du Palais du Luxembourg‘, die den Medici-Zyklus von Rubens wiedergibt.
- Kräftiger Druck mit minimalen Knickspuren in der Titelei
- Die Leuchtkraft der Grafik -
Bei dem repräsentativen 1710 erschienenen Galeriewerk, das Rubens Medici-Zyklus des Palais des Luxembourg wiedergibt, hatten die renommiertesten französischen Kupferstecher ihrer Zeit mitgewirkt, von denen Gérard Edelinck als besonders meisterhaft galt. Der in seinem Todesjahr angefertigte Stich veranschaulicht, wie der Künstler die Stofflichkeit der Gewänder mit ihren schimmernden Licht-Schatten-Wirkungen innerhalb der Druckgraphik zur Darstellung zu bringen vermochte. Zudem besticht die Grafik durch eine beinahe diffus wirkende Atmosphäre, aus der insbesondere die klare Präzision des Gesichts hervortritt.
Das Blatt ist zugleich ein Beispiel für die Schöpferkraft und den Stellenwert der Reproduktionsgrafik. Ist das vorbildliche Gemälde von Peter Paul Rubens geschafften worden, so fertigte der spätere, äußerst gefragte Hofporträtist Jean-Marc Nattier die Zeichnung an, nach der Edelinck die Grafik gestochen hat, so dass es sich letztlich um ein Gemeinschaftswerk von drei äußerst talentierten Künstlern handelt.
zum Künstler
In Antwerpen geboren und von den Jesuiten erzogen erlernte Gérard Edelinck die Druckgraphik zunächst von 1652 bis 1653 bei Gaspar Huybrechts und wurde anschließend Schüler von Cornelius Galle dem Jüngeren. 1666 ging er nach Paris und arbeite dort mit François de Poilly, Robert Nanteuil und Philippe de Champaigne zusammen. Aufgrund seiner vielgerühmten künstlerischen Virtuosität war er so erfolgreich, dass er von Ludwig XIV. 1675 zum königlichen Kupferstecher ernannt wurde und eine Wohnung in der Königlichen Gobelin-Manufaktur bezog. Allein Ludwig XIV. porträtierte Edelinck dreizehn Mal. 1677 wurde er Mitglied der Kunstakademie und 1695 zum Ritter des Ordens des Hl. Michael geschlagen. Bereits im 18. Jahrhundert waren seine Werke begehrte Sammelobjekte.

View AllGeneral Wilhelm von Blume - Visionary retrospective -
Located in Berlin, DE
Bernhard Pankok (1872 Münster - 1943 Baierbrunn), General Wilhelm von Blume, 1915, aquatint etching, 34 x 29.5 cm (sheet size), 26 x 22 cm (plate size), signed in the plate at upper left, in pencil at lower right and dated in pencil at lower left.
- At lower left old collection stamp, at the right broad margin with a small spot, otherwise very good condition.
About the artwork
The 1915 aquatint etching of General Wilhelm von Blume is based on a 1912 oil painting in the LWL-Museum für Kunst und Kultur in Münster. A second oil portrait of the general by Pankok is in the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart. When Pankok painted the first oil portrait in 1912, the general had already been retired for 16 years. It is therefore a retrospective portrait. Accordingly, the orientation of his head is such that he is looking back in both the oil painting and the etching. Without fixing on anything in particular, he looks thoughtfully inwards and reflects on his life. Uniformed and highly endowed, it is his military activities in particular that he is reviewing attentively and, as his gaze reveals, quite critically.
Pankok has literally written the sum of his experiences on Wilhelm von Blume's face: The physiognomy is a veritable landscape of folds, furrows, ridges and gullies, all the more striking against the flat background. It is clear that each of the medals was also won through suffering. However, by breaking the boundaries of the picture, his bust appears as an unshakable massif, which gives the general a stoic quality.
The fact that the design of the portrait was important to Pankok can be seen from the different versions, the present sheet being the third and probably final revision, which Pankok dates precisely to 18 February 1915. Compared with the previous state, the light background now has a dark area against which the sitter's face stands out, the dark background in turn combining with the uniform to create a new tension in the picture.
Pankok's taking up of the portrait of the high-ranking military veteran and its graphic reproduction can also be seen in relation to the First World War, which had broken out in the meantime. In the face of modern weapons of mass destruction, Wilhelm von Blume's warfare and military writings were relics of a bygone, more value-oriented era.
About the artist
After studying at the Düsseldorf Art Academy from 1889 to 1891 under Heinrich Lauenstein, Adolf Schill, Hugo Crola, and Peter Janssen the Elder, Bernhard Pankok went to Munich in 1892, where he worked primarily as a graphic artist for the two major Jugendstil magazines "Pan" and "Jugend," which established his artistic success. Through this work he met Emil Orlik, with whom he had a lifelong friendship.
In 1897, he exhibited his first furniture, and in 1898, together with Richard Riemerschmid, Bruno Paul and Hermann Obrist...

About the artwork
The theatrical "role-portrait" is to be seen against the background of the Rembrandt cult, which reached its climax at the end of the 19th century. The soldier seems to have stepped straight out of Rembrandt's Night Watch (1642) to fix something outside the picture with an alert and ready gaze. The steeply rising brim of the morion frames the gaze and thus perspectivises it as the actual 'pictorial action'. The gaze represents both the vigilant defence and the visionary goal of the battle.
Not only the subject, but also the style of the etching needle reflect Rembrandt's understanding of the times. Strong contrasts of light and dark are created in a virtuoso free stroke, without losing the effect of the reflections on the helmet and in the eyes. This shows a kinship with the early prints of Lovis Corinth, who also saw himself as an artist in the role of the knight. Against this background, Haberl's picture can also be seen as a representation of his artistic self-image.
About the artist
Heinrich Haberl first attended the art school in Nuremberg and from 1892 studied at the Munich Academy. There he was a master student of Johann Leonhard von Raab, Rudolf von Seitz, Franz von Defregger...

Old Violinist - Late 19th Century Figurative Lithograph
By John George Brown
Located in Soquel, CA
Finely detailed late 19th century chromo-lithograph portrait of a violinist street musician by John George Brown (British, 1831-1913). Many of Brown’s paintings were reproduced in lithography (Chromo-lithograpy), as is the case with the one offered here. Presented in a rustic antique Oak wood frame with giltwood fillet. Image, 15.63"H x 10.63"W.
John George Brown was a British citizen and an American painter born in Durham, England. His parents apprenticed him to the career of glass worker at the age of fourteen, in an attempt to dissuade him from pursuing painting. He studied nights at the School of Design in Newcastle-on-Tyne while working as a glass cutter there between 1849 and 1852, and evenings at the Trustees Academy in Edinburgh while working at the Holyrood Glass Works between 1852 ad 1853. After moving to New York City in 1853, he studied with Thomas Seir Cummings at the National Academy of Design where he was elected a National Academician in 1861. Brown was the Academy’s vice-president from 1899 to 1904.
Around 1855, he worked for the owner of the Brooklyn Glass Company, and later he married the daughter of his employer. His father-in-law encouraged his artistic abilities, supporting him financially, letting Brown pursue painting full-time. In 1866, he became one of the charter members of the Water-Color Society, of which he was president from 1887 to 1904. Brown became famous for his depictions of street urchins found of the streets of New York (bootblacks, street musicians, posy sellers, newsboys, etc.).
Brown’s art is best characterized as British genre painting...
