Description: | RH s. in plate b.r. "Claudio Gellee inven. Fec. Roma 1662 con licenza de super."; inscr. in plate b. "Apollo in atto di obedire al tempo. la Primavera a cominciare il ballo. Leslate non manca del suo Calore. L autumno colsuo licuore. Seguita. linverno tiene la sua. Staggione" CRE LORRAIN, Claude; (French; 1600-1682) It is difficult to say wether the angles of the plate are rounded or not, as it has been trimmed, in some places just inside the plate mark. However, it would seem that the top left corner of the plate, which is intact, is not quite as rounded as in the duplicate, GLAHA 5417. This suggests that this impression could be a state III, before the rework. The motif of Chronos and the dancing Seasons was derived from a painting by POUSSIN, Nicolas, "Dance of Human Life", c. 1639-40, now in the Wallace Collection in London. | 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: | DANCE : PASTORAL : CLASSIC : RUINS : APOLLO : MUSE : HARP : TREE : GOD : GOAT : BOW : CLOUD : LANDSCAPE : | 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 |
