Jacques CoelemansJacques Coelemans After Chivoli, Engravingc. 1709
c. 1709
About the Item
This fine early 18th-century engraving by flemish printmaker Jacques Coelemans (1654-1732) was commissioned by Jean-Baptiste II de Boyer (1645-1709) and formed part of ‘Recueil D'Estampes D'Aprés Les Tableaux Des Peintres Les Plus Celebres D'Italie, Des Pays-Bas Et De France, Qui sont à Aix dans le Cabinet de M. Boyer d'Aguilles’.
Within mountainous terrain and partially hidden by rocks, a muscular man, devoid of all clothing, carries a scythe as a weapon. The work, originally painted by an artist known as ‘Chivoli’, possibly Lodovico Cardi (1559-1613), was owned by Jean-Baptiste II de Boyer, the Lord of Éguilles. His awe-inspiring collection included works by Raphael, Titian, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Veronese, Tintoretto, Nicolas Poussin, Rubens, Anthony Van Dyck among others. So it’s little surprise that he sought to catalogue them all as engravings in a folio.
However, Boyer was unlike other collectors as he produced many of the engravings himself. A worthy skill, which earned him high praise from peers, such as Pitton de Tournefort who referred to him as: “A man of quality, who moreover fulfils the duties of his office, could not relax more nobly.”
Jacques Coelemans engraved this particular piece, which is a striking example of his chiaroscuro mastery. The Royal Collection and British Museum hold complete copies of the folio.
Signed in the plate lower left and held within a contemporary glazed frame.
Jacques Coelemans trained under Frederik Bouttats the Younger at the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke.

- Jacques-Philippe Le Bas After Gerard Metsu, Portrait Of A Lady, EtchingBy Jacques-Philippe Le BasLocated in Cheltenham, GBThis exquisite 18th-century engraving by Jacques-Philippe Le Bas (1707-1783) is after a portrait by Dutch artist Gerard Metsu (1629-1667). It formed part of Jean Baptiste Pierre Le Brun’s 'Galerie des Peintres Flamands, Hollandais et Allemands; Ouvrage enrichi de Deux Cent Planches graves d'apres les meilleurs Tableaux de ces Maitres'. Jean Baptiste Pierre Le Brun is considered one of the most influential art dealers in European history. His publication, Galerie des Peintres Flamands etc, illuminated the darkened corners of Dutch and Flemish art while also building acclaim for known luminaries, such as Gerard Metsu. Via the ‘Galerie’, Le Brun mentions Vermeer for the first time and sets the great Dutch master on a path to notoriety. He also unearthed several of Rembrandt’s followers, such as Ferdinand Bol...Category

- George Sidney Hunt After Edwin Long RA, In the Wilderness, EngravingLocated in Cheltenham, GBThis late 19th-century mixed-method engraving by George Sidney Hunt (1856-1917) after Edwin Long RA (1829-1891) is one in a series of three depicting the Old Testament story of Jephthah. Here, we see Jephthah’s daughter contemplating her fate during a two-month sojourn in the wilderness. The heart-rending story of Jephthah captured Victorian minds and inspired artist Edwin Long to produce three exhibition pieces, which are now held at the Russell Cotes Art Gallery & Museum. Prior to a fearsome battle with the Ammonites, Jephthah, a leader in Isreal, committed a vow to God that he’d make a sacrifice if his armies were triumphant. “whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites will be the Lord’s, and I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering...Category

- Walter Hancock’s Enterprise Steam Omnibus, 19th-Century Hand-Coloured LithographLocated in Cheltenham, GBThis charming mid-19th-century hand-coloured lithograph depicts the ‘Enterprise Steam Omnibus’, the most successful steam carriage of its period. In the early 19th century, long-distance travel was predominantly undertaken by horse-drawn carriages. Yet, every so often, the clitter-clatter of hooves was abruptly overshadowed by the whir of steam-powered technology. From around 1801, several plucky inventors began developing carriages which could propel themselves via steam. The majority were notoriously unreliable, often breaking down, too slow to be practical, and occasionally exploding. The first steam-powered carriage, invented by Richard Trevithick of Cornwall, made its debut in 1801. It was known as ‘The Puffing Devil’ or ‘Captain Dick’s Puffer’ and said to cause quite a fright when trundling towards you. But this, like several others, couldn’t sustain the rigours of regular long distance trips, which were required to support the cost of running them. Walter Hancock’s (1799-1852) carriages were different. They became the first to run regularly - initially from Stratford and London via the ‘Infant’, a ten-seater bus, and in 1833, between London Wall and Paddington via ‘The Enterprise’, which we see here. Hancock’s machines were revolutionary due to his patented steam boiler (which had less risk of exploding). The Enterprise also had a pioneering suspended engine along with several other clever additions. Driving it was a tricky affair with three operators required - one to steer and control the speed, a second to monitor the boiler’s water level, and a third to maintain the fire. It’s unclear how the three communicated over the omnipresent din. In total, Hancock’s machines carried 12,761 passengers across 4,200 miles, an incredible achievement given the constraints of the day and the condition of the roads. The Enterprise was lauded in Europe and the US, with this particular image featuring in the New York press. The lithograph is based upon an earlier engraving...Category
