Further with large flowered and emblematic woodcut head- and tailpieces. 20 396 pp. Rare first edition of this manual on the theory of baroque painting composition and colours by Bernard Dupuy du Grez 1639-1720 a celebrated Toulouse scholar. After his education and a Grand Tour in Italy Dupuy de Grez became a lawyer at the parlement of Toulouse but soon he abandoned his career for a life devoted to art and science. In 1683 he founded a public drawing school the Ecole des Baux-Arts at Toulouse which later in 1751 became the famous Royal Academy of Painting Sculpture and Architecture. His model was the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in Paris founded in 1648 to free artists from the hold of the old corporations. Most of Dupuy's written work including a history of Toulouse remained in manuscript but the present manual was published especially for use in his drawing school. The work consists of four main treatises each preceeded by an allegorical engraving: 1 Traité sur la peinture. Contenant sa definition sa division & sa noblesse Painting theory definition and history including a comparison between painting and sculpture; 2 Qu'est-ce que le dessein & des moyens de s'y avancer The art of drawing the basic art for many other arts including the rules and principles of perspective and proportion. This part has a supplement discussing the proportions of the human body with references to Vitruvius Dürer Gauricus Lomasse etc. as well as the latest opinions on perspective; 3 Du coloris en quoy is consiste & du choix qu'on en peut faire Colours and the perspective of lights and shadows also with a supplement added discussing the practical use of colours in frescos in working with crayon or oil paints in miniatures etc.; 4 De la composition Composition of a drawing or painting with emphasis on perspective including the teaching of an easy method of perspective. Following this 4th treatise is the Traité d'optique. Pour suplement à la quatrième dissertation sur la composition illustrated with 8 engravings showing perspective.The book is very well produced and beautifully illustrated with finely etched plates after Antoine Rivalz 1667-1725 a Toulouse painter and etcher who in 1726 also founded a school for drawing inspired by the Ecole des Baux-Arts founded by Duput. The plates are printed in reverse.In 1972 the book was considered so important that a facsimilé edition was published in Geneva.Good copy with the engraved coat-of-arms of the Baptist Earl of Gainsborough dated 1700.- Some marginal browning and some repairs in the margins.l Brunet VI 9246; Cioranescu 17e siècle 27820; Cat.

19510026061951. Cloth. Near Fine/Very Good. Unique collection of 74 watercolors ink drawings collages and mixed media playful caricatures of a Parisian advertising executive presumably by members of his creative staff. Most of the individual send-ups are imaginative and amusing; the cumulative effect though is truly extraordinary in the sheer variety and range of the works. As a whole the album honors not merely a particular individual but the human creative spirit! Thus we have a Soviet Dupuy an angelic Dupuy an overworked Dupuy a gaucho Dupuy a scout Dupuy a wandering eye Dupuy a lolling Dupuy; he is depicted as a painter a mariner a general and on and on. These various roles assigned to him scarcely suggest the richness of ideas of the particular artwork. In just one drawing showing the executive in a bathtub we see floating atop the water the names of products presumably ones he promoted and other names spraying over him from the showerhead. Dupuy based on the wealth of images we have of him was a quintessential Frenchman in his appearance; we can also surmise that he was beloved if not also feared a bit and certainly he had to have had a charisma for few businessmen have probably ever received such an effortful and remarkable tribute as represented by this manuscript. The folio measures 33 by 28 cm 13 by 11 inches. With a dust jacket that at its center has a cameo relief of Dupuy himself. The DJ now protected with mylar has use creases minor spotting and toning. The leaves are all clean and the album is tight. unknown
