About the Item

Black and white etching on wire rod paper, representing the myth of Chaos. Plate from the volume “Le Temple des Muses”, published in Amsterdam in 1742 by Zacharias Chatelain. Capture (under the image) and author "B. Picart del. 1731" inscribed under the frame engraved on the lower left margin. In good conditions, except for a normal yellowing of the margins. This was an illustrated book of Ovid's most popular fables published in 1733 in Dutch (Tempel der Zanggodinnen), in 1738 in English, and in 1742 in French by Zacharias Chatelain. The engravings had captions in four languages: French, English, German, and Dutch. The artists involved were Michel de Marolles, Bernard Picart, Jacques Favereau, Abraham van Diepenbeeck and Cornelis Bloemaert. A facsimile of the Dutch version was published in 1968. The sixty engraved plates by Bernard Picart and others were a sort of fashionable mythological compendium, useful in the eighteenth century, when the fascination for Greek and Roman antiquity followed the systematic excavation of the ruins at Pompeii and Herculaneum in southern Italy; and after 1750, the Neoclassical style dominated all artistic fields. Bernard Picart (Paris, 1673 – Amsterdam, 1733), French engraver, well-known for his book-illustrations, including the Bible and Ovid. His most famous work is Cérémonies et coutumes religieuses de tous les peuples du monde, appearing from 1723 to 1743 and was defined: "an immense effort to record the religious rituals and beliefs of the world in all their diversity as objectively and authentically as possible" by Jonathan I. Israel. Publisher: Amsterdam, Zacharias Chatelain Image Dimensions: 35 x 25.4 cm This artwork is shipped from Italy. Under existing legislation, any artwork in Italy created over 70 years ago by an artist who has died requires a licence for export regardless of the work’s market price.
