A propos de cet article

- An original 11-7/8 inch high by 7-5/8 inch wide etching, illustrated with a 10-1/8 inch high by 7-1/2 inch wide image etched by W. Carter. Latin text from Aenid L.12 added within the plate marks at the bottom is etched by Hollar on either side of a coat of arms. As per Pennington 331A, (State 1): Aeneas stands left with the arrow piercing his thigh while Venus descends with a sprig of dittany for the physician who is bent over his table on the right. "F. Cleyn inv." and "W. Carter fecit" are etched within the image at the lower left corner. Text on the verso, printed in letterpress, is from Ogilby's original 1654 English edition. Closely cropped near the plate marks, the etching is mounted with glue from the verso onto a larger sheet of paper. The print is in otherwise near fine condition although the edges of the mount are foxed, soiled and creased with a short tear to the bottom edge of the mount. The engraving is by Carter, but the Latin quotation, the coat of arms and the dedication are by Hollar, except for the "w" in the name, which is an alteration.One of a series of original etchings by Wenceslaus Hollar which were created to illustrate scenes from Virgil. They first appeared in 1654 in John Ogilby's "The Works of Publivs Virgilivs Maro Translated, adorn'd with Sculpture, and illustrated with Annotations". The work was published in London and printed for the author by Thomas Warren. Hollar's etchings were after drawings by Francis Cleyn.Noted for his engravings and etchings, the prolific Bohemian artist Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-1677) spent much of his life in England.[Ref.: Richard Pennington: "A Descriptive Catalogue of the Works of Wenceslaus Hollar 1607-1677", published by Cambridge University Press, 1982].…
