About the Item

Engraving by Louis de Surgis de Surugue after a painting by Jacques Dumont dit Le Romain. It is part of a series of 16 engravings illustrating "Le Roman comique" by Scaron "Le Roman comique" from Scarron, published from 1651 to 1657, deals with the burlesque adventures of a troupe of traveling comedians in the north of France. The theme is taken up by the greatest illustrators of the eighteenth century like Jean-Baptiste Oudry who had the first IDEA to engrave the subject. In 1727 Louis de Surgis de Surugue resumed the IDEA of Oudry and addressed Dumont Le Romain, who supplied him with two paintings, and Pater, who made a series of 14 paintings, now preserved in Charlottenbourg. The paintings of Dumont and Pater, engraved from 1729 to 1739, offer a free and modern view of Scarron's work, less realistic than that of Oudry but closerto the refined tastes of the century. 19th century framing.
