17609579Durham United Kingdom 1760. Unique. Very Good. Unique. Reverend William Gilpin 1724- 804 was an English artist Anglican cleric schoolmaster and author best known as one of the originators of the idea of the picturesque style of landscape painting. In 1768 Gilpin published his popular "Essay on Prints" where he defined the picturesque as"that kind of beauty which is agreeable in a picture" and began to expound his "principles of picturesque beauty" based largely on his knowledge of landscape painting. During the late 1760s and 1770s Gilpin traveled extensively in the summer holidays and applied these principles to the landscapes he saw committing his thoughts and spontaneous sketches to notebooks. This particular watercolor study features the High Force waterfall at the River Tees in Durham England with two figures in the foreground surrounded by lush landscape. Gilpin brought attention to the area with his sketching journals influencing tourism and commenting on the sublime and beauty of nature. Bright and unmarred original painting. No visible wear. Single leaf color wash and ink with sepia tones mounted on board includes monograph embossed on right corner 10.25x7.5 unknown
016391Abbé Antoine Serre, curé de Charenton, Douze demandes faites aux ministres de la R.P.R. assemblez en synode tenu à Chatenton M. DC. LXXIX. Auxquelles ils n'ont point répondu ; & on fait voir qu'ils ne peuvent répondre. Paris, Gabriel Martin, 1680. In-12, 66p. Edition originale de cet ouvrage de controverse faisant suite à un des synodes protestants. Antoine Serre, docteur en théologie sur lequel on sait peu de choses, a beaucoup oeuvré contre les « ennemis de la Religion Catholique » (approbation des Maximes de Religion et Marques de la Vraie Eglise - Paris, Lambert Roulland, 1693). Le but de l'ouvrage était de montrer l'absence de toute légitimité des ministres protestants, tant pour leur mission, leur ordination que leur prêche ou la distribution des sacrements. L'ouvrage est rare. Louis Desgraves, dans son Répertoire des ouvrages de controverse (Genève, Droz, 1985), signale cet ouvrage sous le n°6514 et n'en indique que deux exemplaires (BnF & BM Bordeaux). Un autre exemplaire est conservé à la BM de Versailles. Nous n'avons pas pu identifier d'autres exemplaires en France ou à l'étranger. Références : Desgraves, 6514 ; Conlon, 332 ; Cioranesco, 62396. Plein parchemin d'époque, manque la première garde blanche, petit manque angulaire sur le titre, déchirure sur le titre et le feuillet suivant, exemplaire modeste et un peu défraichi. Mouillure angulaire plus ou moins claire. Très rare ouvrage. [XI]
