Puteus Aquarum Viventium Cant 4. / The Madonna and Child at the Fountain

1700Best.-Nr. 4835Amsterdam: Martinus van den Enden 1700. A very nice copy of this engraving by Schelte Adamsz Bolswert the sculptor and engraver after the original by Rubens. Published by van Enden. Held under passe partout. To the verso is the taxation stamp for the department of the Interior for Calvados. Havard art museum states only that this is a Seventeenth Century engraving and cites catalogues Hollstein 172; LeBlanc 13; Andresen 5. We suspect that this is later engraving as it lacks the engraver and artist details. Also the image is reversed so that the Madonna and child are admiring a fountain to the right rather than the left. A very nice clean copy with a good impression. Held in an archival film bag under a large passe partout. Engraving is 22cm x 18cm. The Passe Partout is 50cm x 40cm. There is a little marking to the front of the art board to the reverse / back sheet there is quite a bit of marking But this would be hidden on display. A scarce item we can find no copies outside of institutions and none at all of this "reversed image". . Très bel exemplaire de cette gravure de Schelte Adamsz Bolswert le sculpteur et graveur d'après l'original de Rubens. Publié par van Enden. Tenu sous passe partout. Au verso se trouve le timbre fiscal du département de l'Intérieur pour le Calvados. Le musée d'art Havard indique seulement qu'il s'agit d'une gravure du XVIIe siècle et cite les catalogues Hollstein 172 ; LeBlanc 13 ; Andresen 5. Nous soupçonnons qu'il s'agit d'une gravure plus tardive car il n'y a pas de détails sur le graveur et l'artiste. De plus l'image est inversée de sorte que la Madone et l'enfant admirent une fontaine à droite plutôt qu'à gauche. Un très bel exemplaire propre avec une bonne impression. Conservé dans une pochette de film d'archivage sous un grand passe partout. La gravure mesure 22 cm x 18 cm. Le Passe Partout mesure 50cm x 40cm. Il y a une petite marque au recto du carton d'art au verso de la feuille il y a pas mal de marques mais cela serait caché lors de l'exposition. Il s'agit d'une pièce rare nous n'avons trouvé aucune copie en dehors des institutions et aucune de cette "image inversée". Martinus van den Enden unknown
