Description: | IU, unframed inscr on plate b. c. "Les Egyptiens submerges dans la mer rouge / Desseinde Jean Francois Penni, dit le Fattor, qui est dans le Cabinet de Mr Crozat / grave a l'eau forte par Mr Le C. de C. et en bois sous sa conduite par Nicolas Le Sueur" CRE LE SUEUR, Nicolas; (French; 1691-1764) AFTER PENNI, Giovane Francesco; ( 1488-1528) CRE CAYLUS, Philippe Claude Anne de Tubieres, Comte de; (French; 1692-1765) Some of the background is hand-tinted.
The reproduction of the drawings in the famous collection of Pierre Crozat is a project that took 17 years to complete. Some of the drawings even have their collector's marks reproduced. The first volume of 182 plates was published in 1729, the second in 1742. This is plate 75 from "Recueil Crozat", 1729.
The fan-like shape shows that the design was intended for painting on pottery. The original drawing is now in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. The brown areas that can be seen in each upper corner, which at first sight may look like dirt, are in fact reproducing the oxidisation of the wash in the original drawing. | 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: | CHIAROSCURO : EGYPTIAN : REPRODUCTIVE : BIBLE : DRAWING : OLD TESTAMENT : MOISE : SEA : CROZAT : DESIGN : FAN : FAIENCE : | 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 |
