Matthäus Merian, Gilles van Coninxloo - Stately fishing - RR / Description: Fishing. From a series of stately hunting scenes in the style of Gilles Coninxcloo. In an arm of the river that is separated by nets, fishing is carried out with hand nets and hand gaffs, a noble couple in courtly costume follows the event. Ref: Hollstein 468. Etching on Laid paper with a watermark. This fresh early impression dates from the first half of Merian his career (in his twenties). In his early works, he showed a great talent for landscape etching close to some Flemish Contemporains such as the master of the small landscapes and he made even work after Jan Breughel the younger. Here Gilles Coninxcloo is the inspirator. The landscape art from his early period deserves more attention as it is far superior to his later work. This is a very rare print, very hard to find, not found in the British Museum, not in the Rijksmuseum, one of the series in the Harvard Art Museum (Object Number M22312.70) and some mostly incomplete sets in famous German collections (Strassburg, Nuremberg, Coburg...).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 and worked for his father-in-law. To be noted that Coninxcloo (the brother-in-law of Pieter Breughel the Younger) , also worked in Frankenthal (nearby Oppenheim) for a while, as also did Jan Breughel the Younger in Nuremberg. The Flemish artists have a footstep in the region. / Dimensions: 15,40 x 22,10 cm / Condition: Splendid impression on watermarked dense thin laid paper with full plate border and mostly tread margins. / Literature: Hollstein 468 - Wüthrich 236 / Medium: Engraving /Circa: C. 1616-1617 320
