A propos de cet article

Large folio. 3/4 red morocco and red roan boards, repaired. 59 x 45 cm.[62] p., [29] pl.; 606 mm. Some foxing. Tissue guards.OCLC Number: 1105189Each plate gives the name of the source-artist and is signed by its engraver. The engravers were H. Le Keux, George T. Doo, W. Bromley, J.H. Watt, E. Goodall, John Pye, William Miller, W. Humphrys, John Burnet, J. Stewart, W. Greatbatch, John H. Robinson, R. Golding, W. Finden and J. Le Keux. Each plate carries the publisher's imprint of John Pye, and the name of the printer, McQueen. The work is dedicated to King William IV by John Burnet, George Cooke, George T. Doo, William Finden, Edward Goodall, John Le Keux, Henry Le Keux, John Pye and John H. Robinson.The title page and plate [10] carry the date of 1840, but all other plates carry an earlier date - 1830 March 1 (nos. 5, 17, 24, 26, 28); 1832 March (1, 9, 11); 1837 March (1) (2, 14, 19, 20, 22, 29); 1834 Sep. 1 (6, 15, 16); 1836 July (1) (12, 13, 21, 25); 1837 July (3, 8, 18, 27); 1839 Aug. (4, 23); 1839 Nov. (7). The idea of publishing a series of engravings after paintings in the National Gallery (which had opened to the public in 1824) originated with John Pye, and was subsidised by John Sheepshanks. Seven instalments appeared by 1840. Pye was a leading advocate of the Royal Academy's opening full Membership to engravers. He had petitioned the Prince Regent for this in 1812; in 1826 he and other leading engravers vowed never to apply for Associateship; in 1836 and 1859 he published pamphlets attacking the Academy. Each plate is accompanied by one leaf of printed explanatory text (in English on the recto, in French on the verso); and each is captioned. They show: [1]'A view of Venice' by Canaletto; [2]'Christ appearing to St. Peter' by Ann. Carracci; [3] 'Silenus' by Ann. Carracci; [4] 'Susanna and the elders' by Lud. Carracci; [5] 'An Italian sea-port' by Claude; [6] 'The marriage-festival of Isaac and Rebecca' by Claude; [7] 'The embarkation of St. Ursula' by Claude; [8] 'A pastoral landscape' by Claude; [9] 'The Annunciation' (in text, ' . appearance of the angel to Hagar') by Claude; [10] 'The Holy Family' by Correggio; [11] 'Evening' by A. Cuyp; [12] 'The market cart' by Gainsborough; [13] 'The watering place' by Gainsborough; [14] 'Spanish peasant boy' by Murillo; [15] 'A landscape with figures representing Abraham preparing for the sacrifice' by Gaspar Poussin; [16] 'A Bacchanalian scene' by N. Poussin; [17] 'The adoration of the shepherds' by Rembrandt; [18] 'The Crucifixion' (in text 'Christ taken down from the Cross') by Rembrandt; [19] 'Portrait of a Jew' by Rembrandt; [20] 'The banished lord' by Reynolds; [21] 'Lord Heathfield' by Reynolds; [22] 'The rape of the Sabines' by Rubens; [23] 'Peace and War' by Rubens; [24] 'Gevartius' by A. Van Dyck; [25] 'The Emperor Theodosius refused admission into the church' by Van Dyck; [26] 'Portrait of Rubens' by Van Dyck; [27] 'The consecration of St Nicolas' by Veronese; [28] 'The village festival' by D.
