Mounted Warrior Lamp: Montfaucon's Antiquities Engraved, 1722
About the Item
The image features an 18th-century engraving from Bernard de Montfaucon's "L'Antiquité expliquée et représentée en figures." It depicts a classical lamp in the form of a mounted rider, which is a common theme in ancient Greco-Roman art, often associated with heroes or gods.
Below the mounted figure is another lamp that appears to show a chained figure, suggesting a narrative or symbolic scene, possibly of captivity or punishment.
The lamps are set on pedestals and detailed with Hellenistic flourishes, embodying both aesthetic beauty and functional design. The illustration reflects Montfaucon's dedication to documenting the artifacts of the ancient world, offering a lens through which to view the artistic and cultural values of antiquity. The engraving is meticulously detailed, highlighting the artist's skill in capturing the intricate designs of these historical objects.

- Pair of Bernard De Montfaucon Paris 1719 L'antiquite Original Grand Tour PrintsBy Bernard de MontfaucaonLocated in GBWe are delighted to offer for sale this lovely pair of original copper plate prints dating to 1719 by Bernard De Montfauucon of Paris. Dom Bernard de Montfaucon, O.S.B. (French: [d? m?~fok?~]; 13 January 1655 – 21 December 1741) was a French Benedictine monk of the Congregation of Saint Maur. He was an astute scholar who founded the discipline of palaeography, as well as being an editor of works of the Fathers of the Church. He is regarded as one of the founders of the modern discipline of archaeology Montfaucon was born on 13 January 1655 in the Castle of Soulatgé, a small village in the southern town of Corbières, then in the ancient Province of Languedoc, now in the modern Department of Aude. Other sources claimed his birth date is in 16 January, the most accepted date. After one year he was moved to the Castle of Roquetaillade, residence of his family. When he was seven, he was sent to Limoux, to the college run by the Fathers of Christian Doctrine Montfaucon served in the French army as a volunteer and participated in the Franco-Dutch War of 1673. He was a captain of grenadiers and made two campaigns under the command of Marshall Turenne, participated in the Battle of Herbsthausen and fell ill in Saverne in Alsace. Because of his infectious illness he made a vow to Our Lady of Marceille to give one hundred livres to her sanctuary in Limoux and to become a monk, if he was able to return to his country as a result of her intervention. After the death of Montfaucon's father at the Château de Roquetaillade, in 1675 he entered the novitiate of the Benedictine monastery of Bream in Toulouse. There he learned several ancient languages: Greek, Hebrew, Chaldean, Syriac, and Coptic. In 1687 Montfaucon was called to the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés and he started to work on an edition of the works of the Greek Church...Category
