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.

He was also a pupil of painter Jacques-Louis David. During the Bourbon restauration Forbin served as general director of the Louvre Museum and other museums of France.Inspired by the travels of François-René de Chateaubriand Forbin sailed out from Toulon on 22 August 1817 to tour the eastern Mediterranean. Like Chateaubriand Forbin travelled on his own initiative without an order from the French government; however since the aim of his journey was to discover Greek and Roman antiquities and to draw landscapes of the places he would visit he was able to travel on the ships of the French fleet of the Levant Flotte du Levant.In his venture Forbin was accompanied by painters Pierre Prevost and Léon Matthieu Cochereau also a pupil of David and a nephew of Prévost as well as architect Jean-Nicolas Huyot. Abbé de Forbin-Janson later bishop of Nancy was also a member of the company for the first part of the journey while Huyot had to retire when he fractured his leg on Milos island. In addition twenty-four year old Cochereau died of dysentery off the coast of Cythera and was replaced by Linant de Bellefonds who at the time was a mate on "Cleopatra" the mission's ship. De Bellefonds resigned from his position on the ship and participated in the expedition as a painter and chartographer. When the expedition ended in December of 1817 de Bellefonds decided to stay on in Egypt and explored its territory as member of several missions. From 1831 to 1869 he served the kingdom of Egypt as chief engineer of several public works including the Suez Canal. The expedition sailed to Acre Galilee and thenceforth travelled by land. While in Palestine the travellers visited the Dead Sea and Jordan river reached Cairo and sailed the Nile down to Upper Egypt. The main places they visited includde Milos island Athens Constantinople Ephesus Acre Jerusalem Gaza Damietta Cairo Luxor Thebes Rosetta and Alexandria. When the expedition returned to France in April 1818 Forbin had spent approximately 28.000 francs on the purchase and transportation of antiquities some of which ended up in the Louvre collections at the time Royal Museum of France. Prevost drew panoramic views of Jerusalem and Athens but succumbed to pneumonia in 1823 without completing his panorama of Constantinople.The descriptions of Forbin show him to be a mature observer in possession of deep humanistic culture. His style sometimes resembles a clumsy imitation of Chateaubriand's "Journey to the Holy Land" 1806. However as Forbin was not a professional author but a painter his descriptions are way more exact than those of Chateaubriand.Forbin also travelled to Sicily in 1820 and published his travel account as he had done with his expedition of 1817.

He was also a pupil of painter Jacques-Louis David. During the Bourbon restauration Forbin served as general director of the Louvre Museum and other museums of France.Inspired by the travels of François-René de Chateaubriand Forbin sailed out from Toulon on 22 August 1817 to tour the eastern Mediterranean. Like Chateaubriand Forbin travelled on his own initiative without an order from the French government; however since the aim of his journey was to discover Greek and Roman antiquities and to draw landscapes of the places he would visit he was able to travel on the ships of the French fleet of the Levant Flotte du Levant.In his venture Forbin was accompanied by painters Pierre Prevost and Léon Matthieu Cochereau also a pupil of David and a nephew of Prévost as well as architect Jean-Nicolas Huyot. Abbé de Forbin-Janson later bishop of Nancy was also a member of the company for the first part of the journey while Huyot had to retire when he fractured his leg on Milos island. In addition twenty-four year old Cochereau died of dysentery off the coast of Cythera and was replaced by Linant de Bellefonds who at the time was a mate on "Cleopatra" the mission's ship. De Bellefonds resigned from his position on the ship and participated in the expedition as a painter and chartographer. When the expedition ended in December of 1817 de Bellefonds decided to stay on in Egypt and explored its territory as member of several missions. From 1831 to 1869 he served the kingdom of Egypt as chief engineer of several public works including the Suez Canal.The expedition sailed to Acre Galilee and thenceforth travelled by land. While in Palestine the travellers visited the Dead Sea and Jordan river reached Cairo and sailed the Nile down to Upper Egypt.

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.
