Charles Nicolas Cochin «Lycurgus Wounded in a Sedition» Engraved 18th Century

About the Item

Beautiful red chalk engraving by Gilles Demarteau after a painting by Charles Nicolas Cochin representing Lycurgus injured in the eye during a revolt of the Spartan people. Lycurgus shows his bloodied face. His blood-red eye had just been pierced by the young Alcander with a stick, because the laws that Lycurgus had just proposed to Sparta did not please society. As the eye is pierced, a mixture of terror and shame takes hold of Spartan society. Charles Nicolas Cochin is an 18th century French engraver and draftsman. Born of two engraving parents, he began to practice very early, which explains his talent and his fame. He was also secretary of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture and is known to have produced over 1,500 works. Copper engraving, by Gilles Demarteau after Cochin. The drawing in Cochin's red chalk was made in 1760 and exhibited at the salon in 1761. This engraving was made in 1776 by Gilles the Elder, in red chalk. Dimensions with frame: H 22.8 inches W 26.18 inches.
