Matthäus Merian - Wirtemberg Castle - Unknown Proof state (RRRR) / Description: Proof state unknown to Wüthrich (!). Very atmospheric etching of the residence of the house of Württemberg near Stuttgard build in the 1520's. This etching (Wüthrich.529) in an extremely rare unfinished proof state preceding the first state, before adding of: 1. Three birds in the sky central left of the castle, 2. A stake on the castle wall lower rightr, 3 a shimney on the castles lower roof top at right, 4. two walkers on the path leading down from the castle gate. This excellent early impression before any number and still with square plate borders must be one of the very first impressions of this print and is of the uppermost rarity. The proof state was only printed in a few copies and probably no other has been preserved. (Wüthrich- 529). Matthäus Merian I (1593-1650), born in Basel, Switzerland moved to Oppenheim in 1617 and when the city of Oppenheim was destroyed in 1620 by fire during the Spanish occupation he moved back to Basel. Merian married the daughter of Theodor de Bry in 1617. In his early works in his twenties, he showed a great talent for free landscape etching after his own designs close to his contemporain Jan van de Velde but also influenced by Flemish artists such as the master of the small landscapes and he made even work after Jan Breughel the younger. The landscape art from his early period deserves more attention as it is far superior to his later work. Wütrich mentions: 'Because of the overly tight cross layers in the foreground, most of the known prints are very defective and have numerous blind spots. Clear prints are early prints and rare.' So a proof state like the one here on aucton is of the uppermost rarity and very valuable to enjoy in it's superb quality. RRRR / Dimensions: 13,60 x 17,00 cm / Condition: An early outstanding, richly inked and luminous impression on a full sheet of laid paper. Excellent condition with no folds, tears or stains. Old number in sepia ink in the upper right margin. A rare print, certainly in this very early outstanding printing condition. / Literature: Wüthrich 1966-1996 (Merian) - 529 - (proof state, preceding state I and II) RRRR / Medium: Etching /Circa: Circa 1620-1622 360
Italian 16thC. - The Ancient Campidoglio in Rome - C. 1553 / Description: Speculum Romanae Magnificentia - Reconstructed view of the ancient Campidoglio in Rome. This large engraving with etching was first published by Antonio Salamanca circa 1553-1563. There are still traces of the erased publishers address of Salamanca on the road surface before the bottom right building. Here in a later edition with the publishers address of Gio.Jacomo Rossi at bottom middle of the square. For an example with Salamanca's address see THE MET, inventory number 402867. For an example with de Rossi's address see British Museum 1950,0325.1.38. / Dimensions: 27,00 x 40,80 cm / Condition: A good silvery impression on a large sheet of laid paper with flattened middle fold and good margins. In good condition. / Literature: Reference for the 'Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae': In 1540 Antonio Lafreri, a native of Besançon transplanted to Rome, began publishing maps and other printed images that depicted major monuments and antiquities in Rome. These images were calculated to appeal to the taste for classical antiquity that fueled the cultural event we call the Renaissance. After Lafreri published a title page in the mid-1570s, collections of these prints came to be known as the Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae, the "Mirror of Roman Magnificence." Tourists and other collectors who bought prints from Lafreri made their own selections and had them individually bound. Over time, Lafreri's title page served as starting point for large and eclectic compilations, expanded and rearranged by generations of collectors. / Medium: Engraving, etching /Circa: 1553-1660 420
