180012763Paris: Charles Bance & Aumont 1800. Aquatint engraving printed in colour à la poupée on wove paper. Very good condition apart from some overall light soiling and minor foxing. Trimmed close to plate mark on all sides. A striking beautifully coloured engraving after the renowned 16th-century Venetian Mannerist Tintoretto. A representation of the Italian painter's enigmatic mistress this plate is part of a series of three aquatints Debucourt completed after paintings by Tintoretto Rubens and Raphael depicting their respective mistresses.<br/> <br/> This print is a stunning example of the single plate colour printing technique used in France beginning in the 18th century. The effect is achieved by inking a single plate with several different colours by using a rag stump a process known as à la poupée. The outcome achieved by this laborious method of inking has a wonderful painterly effect and creates a delicacy of image which is charming to behold. Although a painter by training Philibert-Louis Debucourt is primarily renowned as one of the most innovative colour printmakers of the eighteenth century. Born in 1781 he studied with Joseph Marie Vien at the French Academy. After several years of exhibiting his paintings at the Salon he turned to printmaking in 1781. During the mid 1780s he began experimenting with the complicated multiple-plate colour printing process a technique that was refined and revolutionized by Jean-François Janinet. Debucourt found success with his colour intaglio prints of Parisian high society and he quickly earned a reputation as a skilled and prolific engraver. The bulk of his prints however were based on paintings by other artists and completed after the turn of the century. Despite his intense focus on printmaking he continued to exhibit his paintings alongside his engravings at the Salon throughout his life.<br/> <br/> Cf.

A rare and precious complete suite of 52 original costume prints from the Directoire and First Empire periods. Deemed ""unfindable"" by Gaudriault in his study of women's fashion engravings in France this is the only complete set of first editions currently available. This series of elegant silhouettes was published on the initiative of the bookseller Sellèque and Pierre La Mésangère a clergyman who returned to the press after the turmoil of the Revolution. In 1800 La Mésangère took over the management of the renowned Journal des Dames et des Modes a pioneering publication in the history of the women's press and produced a few standalone series such as this one aimed at 'a category of connoisseurs with an interest in a more refined and luxurious interpretation of fashion than that offered by the plates in the newspapers' Philippe Séguy Histoire des modes sous l'Empire. The plates are the work of Philippe-Louis Debucourt a painter of French elegance since 1787 and a regular contributor to the Journal des Modes. The first 38 date from Year VIII the next 12 from Year IX and the last two from 1808. Through these 52 costumes unfolds a veritable grammar of dress a precious alphabet of the gown and hat - a language in which Parisian women were particularly well versed. Shepherdesses sultanas Etruscan princesses. the trend leaned towards exoticism even eroticism with the occasional bare breast. We find the fashions brought to the fore by the Merveilleuses following the Revolution inspired by Antiquity and mythology - gowns of iridescent muslin light and form-fitting alongside coats bandeau hairstyles and Grecian tunics. The captions accompanying the etchings often provide detailed descriptions of the attire hairstyles and headwear meticulously enhanced with watercolour. Some figures even double as biting social commentary verging on caricature featuring characters such as the ludicrously pretentious Turcaret a recurring theatrical figure since the early 18th century or genre scenes teeming with amorous intrigues. The significance of this series in the history of colour engraving is noteworthy albeit underappreciated by bibliographers. Some plates bear tiny black dots in the margins indicating the process of colour engraving by superimposing intaglio plates.
