"Gravee d'apres le Tableau Original de Ph Wouvermens, de meme grandeur / Tire du Cabinet de Monsieur Le Brun / Paris chez Major rue S. Jacques vis a vis les Charniers de S. Benoist." CRE LAURENT, Andres; (English; 1708-1747) AFTER WOUWERMAN, Philips; (Dutch; 1619-1668) PUB MAJOR, Thomas; (English; c.1714-1799) Part of William Hunter's original bequest, this volume contains 44 prints after paintings primarily by Dutch and Flemish 17th century masters. The majority of the prints were etched by English engraver Thomas Major who studied in Paris under Jacques-Philippe Le Bas (1707-83), tutor to many of the century's best engravers. Six were etched by Andre Laurent, another English engraver who trained and worked with Le Bas and with whom Major became friends. When Laurent died in 1747, Major bought his plates and brought them back to England.
This print is one of four prints after Dutch landscape painter Wouwerman in the volume, three by Laurent. Work by Wouwerman was held in some of the leading collections of Dutch and Flemish masters in both France and England. This painting was in the collection of French painter Pierre Le Brun (1703-71). | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | LANDSCAPE : AGRICULTURE : WORK : DOG : HUNTER VOLUME : REPRODUCTIVE : PAINTING : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
