PICART, Bernard (1673-1733). Tafereel, Of Beschryving van den prachtigen temple den Zang-Godinnen . Amsterdam: Zacharias Chatelain, 1733.
PICART, Bernard (1673-1733). Tafereel, Of Beschryving van den prachtigen temple den Zang-Godinnen . Amsterdam: Zacharias Chatelain, 1733. 2 o (484 x 318 mm). Title printed in red and black, half-title. Engraved title within architectural border, engraved vignette on letterpress title, 60 engraved plates by Picart (small marginal repaired tear on plate 47). (A few pale marginal stains on last two leaves, generally very clean and crisp.) Contemporary Dutch half calf, spine gilt, red morocco lettering-piece, uncut. Provenance : acquired from Jeffrey D. Mancevice, 1991. FIRST EDITION. Picart based his illustrations primarily on the plates by Abraham van Diepenbeek that were engraved by Bloemaert for Michel de Marolles' Temples des Muses (Paris, 1655). Picart added superb rococo borders, however, that are exemplars of the style. The result combines the high baroque period of the Rubens school with the more gracious inventions of his own time. Each plate bears captions in French, English, German and Dutch. This is among Picart's final works, as he died during the year of its publication. Brunet V:696.
