Published by Charles Rogers (1711-1784), an eminent eighteenth century collector, it consists of 112 prints accompanied by introductory texts on the artists represented. It highlights the wealth of old master drawings held in contemporary private British collections and is among the most impressive art historical writings of 18th century England.
This is one of 42 drawings from Rogers' own collection,which was one of the best in the country.
Gianlorenzo Bernini, considered the greatest sculptor of the 17th century, was highly influential on the development of the Baroque style. He was also a painter and architect as the inscription on the print indicates. This is one of four artists' self-portraits in the volume. | 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: | PORTRAIT : ARTIST : DRAWING : IMITATION : ARTIST'S PORTRAIT : HUNTER VOLUME : REPRODUCTIVE : | 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 |
