Jean Lepautre Figurative Prints
French, 1618-1682
The French draftsman and engraver with a long career, Jean Lepautre produced nearly 1500 etchings. Appointed as Ordinary Engraver of King Louis XIV in 1667, he was received at the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in 1677. His recognition by Colbert earned him the right to engrave boards of rare and precious quality for the King's Cabinet. Today we can remember of his production, masterpieces as the whole Grotto of Versailles, the Festival has given at Versailles in 1668, the Entertainment given by the King in 1674, in addition to the wide graphic production representing basins, statues and vases of the Versailles Park, preserved at the Official Chalcography of the Louvre.

Notes:
Provenance: private collection - Green Bay, WI; acquired from Sotheby's, New York, NY in c. 2015. The artist Lambrecht Hopfer's printed monogram signature "LH" lower right. The printer/publisher David Funck's (plate) number "182" lower right. This etching is after Albrecht Dürer’s 1511 engraving "The Crucifixion (Christ on the Cross)", ("Dürer-Katalog" - Meder No. 13, page 73). Printed in black from an iron plate. The image depicts Christ on the cross at center, the Virgin at left, two Maries behind her, St. John standing at right, a Roman solider behind him. It is after the eleventh plate of Dürer's sixteen plates from his 1507-1513 "The Engraved Passion" series, ("Dürer-Katalog" - Meder No. 3-18, page 70-74).
"The print was originally designed without the number engraved in the lower margin (First state: Lambrecht Hopfer, c. 1530). The Hopfers' descendant David Funck (Nuremberg, 1642–1705) acquired over two hundred of their original iron plates, engraved numbers into them, and re-printed them around 1686-1700. The "182" indicates that "The Crucifixion" was the 182nd print in Funck’s series (Second state: David Funck, c. 1686-1700). About a century later, 92 of these plates were acquired by Carl Wilhelm Silberberg in Frankfurt and printed for the third and final time in the book "Opera Hopferiana", of which "The Crucifixion" was the 90th print (Third state: Carl Wilhelm Silberberg for "Opera Hopferiana", 1802)". - Elizabeth Upper, Cambridge University Library, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK
