1618réf. 5161Utrecht: Cripsijn de Passe the Elder c. 1614- 1618. FIRST STATE. Hardcover. Fine. Signed in the lower margin with the names of the artist and publisher: “Crisp de pas inu inv et fe” / “C. de pas ex.” Numbered in the image lower center: 3. Four lines in Latin divided into two columns: “Haec alia est facies rerum sic vertitur ordo/ Post tot delicias subeunt morbusque dolorque./ Mutantur laetis tristia grata malis/ Nempe solet Nemesis redere iusta vices.”. Brilliant richly-inked early impression printing sharp and crisp with excellent contrasts and remarkable clarity with the support lines along the text distinct. Like most of the surviving copies with the number in the lower margin as described by Franken. Slim margins around the border in very fine condition. A print of great rarity especially in such fine condition. This plate by Crispijn de Passe II is one of a set of four illustrating the biblical parable of Lazarus and the rich man. The story from the Gospel of Luke 16:19-31 tells of an extremely wealthy man who shows no compassion when the poor leprous beggar Lazarus begs him for bread and water. After his death the rich man is sent to hell where he is punished for his greed and heartlessness whereas the pious and humble Lazarus is taken to heaven. It reminds us that earthly wealth is of no consequence after death and that those who suffer in this life will receive comfort in the next. The episode depicted here is The Dying Hour of the Rich Man. Even as the doctor attends the man on his deathbed the notary in the foreground is already dividing the old man’s estate while to the far left a demon cheerfully welcomes him to the hereafter with music. The inscription reads: “This is the other face of things. Thus is the order reversed. Sad things are turned to happy ones; good things to evil. After so many joys come pain and illness. / Indeed retribution Nemesis is wont to return just punishments.” The verses are possibly by the Dutch antiquarian and humanist Aernout van Buchel 1565-1641 whose monogram appears next to the verses on the second plate in the series. The other prints in the series Hollstein 3 4 and 6 depict: 1. Lazarus in the house of the rich man; 2. Feast in the house of the Rich Man; and 4. The Rich Man in Hell. The design for the fourth plate is the work of De Passe the Elder. “Parabole du mauvais riche. Quatre planches numérotées avec 4 l. de souscr. en 2 div. Suite intéressante pour les mœurs costumes et intérieurs qui sont des premières années du 17e siècle et parce que les estampes appartiennent aux meilleures productions des deux maîtres dont on peut en même temps comparer le burin. Il résulte de cette comparaison que Crispyn junior le gagne sur son père pour la taille fine et propre et qu'il a une science du clair obscur qui manque à Crispyn le vieux. Mais dans chacune des quatre estampes il y a des parties dignes des meilleurs maîtres du temps tant pour le dessin que pour la gravure.” Franken 1062-1065 The Artist: Crispijn de Passe the Younger came from a large distinguished Dutch family of professional engravers and was trained in the workshop of his father Cripsijn de Passe the Elder who published this print. He was known for his remarkable handling of the burin of which this engraving is an excellent example. The artist modeled both the interior and the figures in costume on contemporary tastes offering insights into the elegant lifestyle of the seventeenth-century upper classes. De Passe worked in his father’s Utrecht workshop beginning in 1612 until his departure for Paris around 1618. He worked in Paris with some interruptions until 1629 at which time he resumed work in Utrecht. In 1639 he removed to Amsterdam where he died circa 1670. The Dives and Lazarus series must have been made before 1618 when Crispijn the Younger left for Paris See Veldman Crispijn de Passe and his Progeny p. 221. The Publisher: “The elder De Passe 1565–1637 began his career as an engraver and publisher in Antwerp; forced to leave because of his Anabaptist faith he settled -after an interlude in Aachen- in 1589 in Cologne. He set up a print publishing house producing portraits of the European nobility as well as religious mythological and allegorical prints and books. In 1611 he and his family were exiled from Cologne and took refuge in Utrecht. With the assistance of his children he soon started another prosperous business. It is in Utrecht that this print was produced.”National Portrait Gallery He died in Utrecht in 1637. While publishing in Cologne the elder De Passe had engraved another series also of 4 prints on the Rich Man and Lazarus theme after drawings by Maarten de Vos Hollstein XV nos. 118-121. The second plate in that series shows the Rich Man being bathed by naked women. The other three plates are versions of the same scenes as those found in the series described here.
