Quinze Dessins de Durer a Dufy Appartenant aux Collections des Musees Nationaux, issued in 1968, represents a landmark achievement in Parisian printmaking devoted to the faithful translation of historic master drawings into modern pochoir and lithographic form. Conceived and published by Daniel Jacomet in collaboration with Editions Artistiques et Documentaires, the album inaugurated a series dedicated to rendering canonical drawings with extraordinary precision, respecting line weight, tonal subtlety, and the original spirit of each work. Jacomets atelier was internationally renowned for its technical rigor and scholarly approach, bridging museum collections and contemporary print culture through meticulous craftsmanship. Drawing together works spanning centuries, from Albrecht Durer to Raoul Dufy, the album reflects a curatorial ambition rooted in pedagogy, preservation, and aesthetic continuity. Produced in strictly limited examples, including a small number outside the trade, the album exemplifies the highest standards of mid twentieth century Parisian printmaking and remains valued for its role in transmitting the legacy of master draughtsmanship to collectors, institutions, and scholars. About the Artist: Paolo Veronese (1528–1588) was an Italian painter of the Venetian Renaissance whose extraordinary command of color, scale, and architectural illusion established him as one of the supreme masters of Western painting and one of the greatest decorative and narrative artists of all time, a legacy whose visual intelligence continues to resonate across centuries and can be conceptually traced even in the work of later modern innovators such as Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray. Trained in Verona and fully realized in Venice, Veronese emerged alongside his great peers Titian and Tintoretto as one of the three dominant figures of the Venetian school, distinguished by his luminous palette, confident draughtsmanship, and ability to transform painting into immersive visual theater. Drawing deeply from ancient Roman art, classical architecture, Renaissance humanism, and the Venetian tradition of colorito, he created vast ceremonial scenes, biblical narratives, and mythological allegories populated by aristocratic figures, musicians, and grand architectural fantasies that dissolved the boundary between painting, space, and lived experience. His fearless use of radiant color, complex perspective, and expansive compositional rhythms redefined the possibilities of large scale painting and exerted a profound influence on the development of Baroque art, shaping the work of Peter Paul Rubens, Diego Velazquez, and later Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, while his emphasis on spectacle, illusion, and painterly freedom continued to inspire Romantic and modern colorists such as Eugene Delacroix and artists exploring abstraction, symbolism, and spatial dynamism. Veronese’s balance of intellectual sophistication, sensual beauty, and compositional grandeur helped redefine painting as both narrative and spectacle, establishing a visual language that remains foundational to Western art history and contemporary visual culture. His enduring historical and market significance is reflected in his highest auction record, achieved in 2014 when a major painting sold for approximately 30 million USD at Christies London, confirming Paolo Veronese’s position as one of the most revered and highly valued masters of the Renaissance.
