Beautiful and meticulously detailed etching with sober wooden frame; the paper work, "La Gloire de la France", was made by the famous French engraver Simon Thomassin (Troyes 1665-Paris 1733) in 1724, he made the drawing inspired by an elaborate and particular sculpture, made for the gardens of Versailles, between 1681 and 1683 by Pierre Mazeline (1632-1708) important French neoclassical artist; In the inventory of the Garden in 1706-1708, the statuary group is described as follows: "A figure representing Glory seated on a cloud placed on a celestial globe, surrounded by trophies of arms, with the right arm half raised, holding a laurel wreath, and, with the left, a pyramid. The names of the two artists are imprinted on the print itself. Pierre Mazeline was a very prolific and refined sculptor of recognized talent, he is also the author of other statues in the gardens of Versailles as the "Apollo of Belvedere and "Europe"; he also executed the equestrian statue of Louis XIV in Montpellier and the statue of "Charity" on the facade of the church of Notre-Dame de Versailles. Simon Thomasin was a French burin engraver , member of the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture and engraver to the king. In 1694 he published his most famous work, on which he had been working since 1689: the Recueil des statues, groupes, fontaines ... , du chateau & parc de Versailles, a collection of 218 engraved plates made from his drawings of statues, groups, reliefs, fountains and other ornaments of the Palace of Versailles and its gardens, of which a second edition was made in The Hague in 1724 with texts in French, Latin, Italian and Dutch, our print is number 131 of that volume made with the burin engraving and etching technique (see photo). Many of his works are exhibited in various museums around the world, a large collection is in the British Museum in London. The print has been framed in recent times. Frame measures width cm.35, height cm.32, depth cm.3. Print measures width cm. 20, height cm.18.
