De Son Nicolas (Reims, attivo 1625-1637)
La Cattedrale di Reims
Acquaforte, 1625, firmata in basso al centro N. Deson Rem. In. Sculp. Et ex. Magnifica prova, nel secondo stato di tre con l’imprint dell’artista; esiste un terzo stato con l'excudit di Edmé Moreau, che apparentemente acquistò la lastra dopo la morte dell'artista. Impressa su carta vergata coeva e rifilata al rame, piega di stampa nella parte inferiore sinistra, minime abrasioni al verso, per il resto in ottimo stato di conservazione. Rara acquaforte della facciata della cattedrale di Reims dell'artista locale Nicolas de Son (attivo dal 1625 al 37), che fece parte di una breve stagione della stampa autoctona nella provincia di Champagne dagli anni 1620 agli anni 1640 insieme ad artisti come Edmé Moreau, Jean Colin e Nicolas Regnesson. La grande stampa rappresenta la facciata ovest della cattedrale in grande dettaglio, mostrando non solo le composizioni più ampie dei principali programmi scultorei chiaramente delineati, ma anche diversi passaggi architettonici e scultorei secondari, come i doccioni dell'edificio e i trafori delle sue rinomate finestre in vetro dipinto. La tavola sembra aver seguito il successo dell'acquaforte di Moreau del 1623 dello stesso soggetto, ma l'ha superato per qualità tecnica e sfumature storiche ("Quella eseguita da Nicolas de Son è migliore"; "In questa stampa, Nicolas de Son dimostra la sua sorprendente comprensione dell'arte gotica, rara all'epoca" [Age of the Musketeers, p. 124]). De Son, le cui prime opere mostrano l'influenza di Jacques Callot (c. 1592-1635), dimostra molta della maestria tecnica del famoso incisore lorenese: egli contrappone gli attori di pietra della storia sacra raffigurata nell'architettura con i variegati abitanti della città del XVII secolo, minuziosamente resi, che interagiscono con la cattedrale medievale, una gamma di personaggi dai mendicanti al portale principale, ai negozianti nelle loro bancarelle, ai cittadini di classe superiore con i loro cavalli e carrozze. De Son rende magistralmente il paesaggio urbano mentre si allontana, mostrando i recinti del palazzo arcivescovile (il Palais du Tau) sulla destra e i tetti di paglia (uno riparato dagli operai) delle abitazioni sulla sinistra. Le prime incisioni in pendant di De Son, Cristo e la donna di Samaria e La cena di Emmaus, mostrano ancora una notevole aderenza a Callot, ma le sue scene di genere un po' più tardive (per esempio La fiera del villaggio) e il suo capolavoro, Suite di dodici paesaggi, dimostrano scelte di disegno più originali. La presente acquaforte e un'opera simile che raffigura la chiesa abbaziale di Saint Nicaise, ora distrutta, sono le uniche due opere datate dell'artista, entrambe del 1625. Poco è noto della vita di Nicolas de Son, che lavorò come disegnatore e incisore a Reims, a parte alcune incisioni firmate e un riferimento alla sua morte nel 1637. De Son produsse un piccolo corpus di incisioni di Callot, Vignon e Jan Lys, così come due vedute della Cattedrale di Reims di sua invenzione, entrambe datate 1625. Bibliografia S. Reed, French Prints from the Age of the Musketeers, p. 124-5, no. 55; LeBlanc 15; M. Sutaine, Nicolas de Son Graveur, Travaux de l’Académie Impériale de Reims, vol. 35, no. 4 (1862), pp. 122-9. Etching, 1625, signed at the bottom center N. Deson Rem. In. Sculp. Et ex. Magnificent proof, rich in tones, of the second state of three with the artist's imprint, printed on contemporary laid paper, trimmed to the copperplate, printing crease in the lower left corner, minimal abrasions on the verso, otherwise in excellent condition. Rare etching of the façade of Reims Cathedral by the local artist Nicolas de Son (active 1625-37), who was part of a brief flourishing of native printmaking in the province of Champagne from the 1620s through the 1640s along with such artists as Edmé Moreau, Jean Colin, and Nicolas Regnesson. The large print represents the cathedral’s west front in great detail, with not only the broader compositions of the major sculptural programs clearly delineated, but also several ancillary architectural and sculptural passages, such as the building’s gargoyle waterspouts and the tracery of its renowned painted glass windows. Le somptueux frontispiece seems to have followed upon the success of Moreau’s 1623 etching of the same subject, but surpassed it in technical quality and historical nuance (“The one executed by Nicolas de Son is better”; “In this print, Nicolas de Son demonstrates his astonishing understanding of gothic art, rare at the time” [Age of the Musketeers, p. 124]). De Son, whose early works show the influence of Jacques Callot (c. 1592-1635), demonstrates much of the technical mastery of the famous Lorraine etcher: He contrasts the stony actors of sacred history depicted in the architecture with the varied, minutely rendered inhabitants of the seventeenth-century town interacting with the medieval cathedral, a range of characters from beggars at the main portal, to shopkeepers in their stalls, to upper-class citizens with their horses and carriages. De Son masterfully renders the townscape as it recedes in the distance, showing the precincts of the archbishop’s palace (the Palais du Tau) at the right and the thatched roofs (one being repaired by workmen) of dwellings at the left. De Son’s early pendant etchings, Christ and the Woman of Samaria and The Supper of Emmaus, still show considerable adherence to Callot, but his somewhat later genre scenes (e.g. The Village Fair) and his masterpiece, Suite of Twelve Landscapes, demonstrate more original design choices. The present etching and a similar piece depicting the now destroyed abbey church of Saint Nicaise are the artist’s only two dated works, both 1625. This impression of Le somptueux frontispiece carries De Son’s signature and his excudit, indicating that it is from the print’s second state; a third state exists with the excudit of Edmé Moreau, who apparently acquired the plate after the artist’s death. Virtually nothing is known about the life of Nicolas de Son, who worked as a draughtsman and etcher in Reims, apart from a few signed etchings and a source reference to his death in 1637. De Son produced a small corpus of etchings after Callot, Vignon and Jan Lys as well as two views of the Cathedral of Reims after his own invention, both of which are dated 1625. Bibliografia S. Reed, French Prints from the Age of the Musketeers, p. 124-5, no. 55; LeBlanc 15; M. Sutaine, Nicolas de Son Graveur, Travaux de l’Académie Impériale de Reims, vol. 35, no. 4 (1862), pp. 122-9.

Defehrt, Francisco Tramullas
MASCARA REAL executada por los colegios y gremios de la ciudad de Barcelona para festexar el feliz y deseado arribo de nuestros augustos soberanos Don Carlos III y Dona Maria Amalia de Saxonia con el real principe e infantes
SECOND AND LAST EDITION of the "Mascara Real", the greatest Spanish fete-book of the 18th century and the apex of Spanish etching of the period. Originally printed in 1764 (Palau 156971, "Magnifica publicacion....") in a very small edition, this is the second edition, with ALL TWELVE OF THE FULL-PAGE ETCHINGS (by Defehrt after Tramullas) PRINTED FROM THE ORIGINAL PLATES. Since the original edition was so small, the plates were in a perfect state of conservation when this second edition was printed, and ALL OF THE ETCHINGS ARE ABSOLUTELY BRIGHT AND SHARP. Edition limited to 150 numbered copies, all printed on extremely fine handmade Guarro wove paper. Oblong large folio (22 x 26 inches). Loose as issued in the original portfolio case with ties. BRIGHT AND FINE, WITH NO DEFECTS. Spectacular.
