About the Item
Michael Canney (British : 1923-1999) Rhinoceros
Etching with aquatint and plate tone
1947, Signed and dated
Most likely originated from Canney’s wartime drawings when he served as draughtsman in the Royal Engineers in North Africa and influenced by Albrecht Durer's famous woodcut of 1515
From 1942 to 1947 Canney served as a draughtsman in the Royal Engineers in North Africa, Italy and Austria. He documented his wartime journeys with many drawings, most now lost. Italian art and architecture were a revelation, and encouraged a lifelong affection for the country and its people.
In 1947 Canney was studying illustration under Betty Swanwick at Goldsmiths’ College School of Art in London. This work is influenced by Albrecht Durer's famous woodcut of 1515. The animal in Dürer's print was a gift from an Indian sultan to King Manuel of Portugal and was the first to have been seen in Europe for nearly 1500 years. The King donated the rhino to Pope Leo X but the beast died en route to Italy. Durer never saw a rhino and based his famous print upon a sketch and a descriptive letter.
Measures: sheet height 14.5 cm, length 21cm.
In a cream mount within a burr walnut moulded frame height 35, length 30, depth 2.5cm.

MAKER Nicolas de Fer 1646-1720
The French cartographer and engraver, Nicolas de Fer, was a master at creating maps that were works of art. The maps that he published were printed during the Baroque period when the decorative arts were characterized by ornate detail. De Fer’s detailed maps and atlases were valued more for their decorative content than their geographical accuracy.
Nicolas de Fer was born in 1646. His father, Antoine de Fer, owned a mapmaking firm. At the age of twelve, Nicolas was apprenticed to a Parisian engraver named Louis Spirinx. The family business was starting to decline when his father died in 1673. Nicolas de Fer’s mother, Genevieve, took over the business after the death of her husband. In 1687 the business was passed on to Nicolas and the profits increased after he took over the firm. Nicolas de Fer was a prolific cartographer who produced atlases and hundreds of single maps. He eventually became the official geographer to King Louis XIV of France and King Philip V...
