Acquaforte misure: mm 291 x 432 Pittore e incisore francese. Iniziò la sua carriera nella bottega paterna dove si specializzò nell'arte vetraria. In età adolescenziale riuscì a trasferirsi a Parigi e qui si formò presso i vari mestieranti conducendo una vita da bohemien. Nel 1634 si recò a Roma dove entrò in contatto con Andrea Sacchi, Claude Lorrein e con l'arte del Caravaggio. La formazione in Italia gli permise di accentuare il suo eclettismo e di raggiungere una intensità pittorica che verrà molto apprezzata in Francia. I temi ricorrenti nelle sue opere sono i paesaggi in cui vengono immersi soggetti storico-religiosi. In questa stampa viene rappresentato, in un paesaggio minuziosamente descritto scandito da contrasti chiaroscurali, l’episodio biblico di Giuseppe sulle rive del Nilo. In primo piano sulla destra egli è seduto sul parapetto in pietra di una fontana, è colto di profilo con il volto verso i suoi interlocutori con la mano sinistra aperta e appoggiata sulla gamba sta discutendo con alcuni uomini che lo circondano. Alle loro spalle un altro gruppo di figure; un uomo in piedi che sembra stia indicando il cammino ad alcuni mendicanti. Il tutto sotto un cielo plumbeo solcato da nubi, che si diradano in prossimità delle catene montuose sullo sfondo che chiudono questo ampio paesaggio fluviale. Un'alta torre sullo sfondo dalla forma polilobata domina con la sua massa il centro della scena, si erge al centro di una città d’epoca romana con un ponte di legno, un edificio simile al Colosseo, un arco di trionfo, rovine e un mulino ad acqua. In primo piano da foglie di un cespuglio rampicante si inerpicano sul tronco di un albero dalle ricche fronde sulla sinistra. In basso a destra, inciso, "S. Bourdon pinx et fe C.P.R”. La stampa perciò era protetta dal copyright reale, Cum Privilegio Regis. Impressione eccellente, dai neri intensi. Ottimo stato di conservazione, eccetto una piega verticale visibile solo al verso. Ottimo stato di conservazione. Filigrana: grappolo d'uva nel cerchio con scritta Colombier (Haewood, 2431). Timbro di collezione, in lastra "RH" Richard Houlditch junior L.2214 e al verso "W.N" L.2641B Bibliografia: DuMesnil I, 34 I/III; Le Blanc, 33-44 I/III.

ref. 140949112Cologne: Taschen 1996. First Edition. Fine. Deluxe first edition "Special Edition" with fabric swatch mounted to back pastedown. 696 pp. profusely illustrated with color photographs. Oblong quarto bound in publisher's silver cloth lettered in blue on spine. Fine. Housed in the original slipcase printed paper and silver cloth with spot of soiling to upper edge. The story of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's 24-year quest to wrap Germany's historic parliament building in woven silvery cloth held with blue rope. The two artists were known for their monumental fabric installations of which this was the most iconic. The installation subverted the imposing dignity of the famous building a Neo-Renaissance behemoth left in ruins by the Battle for Berlin in 1945. The building was stripped and restored by the West German government during the 1960s then further repaired and crowned with a new glass dome in time for the new millennium. Before the new construction began Christo and Jeanne-Claude finally gained permission to wrap the building after decades of lobbying. The effort was seen as a symbol of reunification drawing millions of Germans to physically interact with what would once more be the seat of their government for the first time since 1933.

Bouton, Sect. to the Royal Society of Arts and Sciences.", 2 folding lithograph plates at end of Mr. Carie's pump, 99, [1], xxiv, 100-187, xxv-lxx1, [1] pp., contemporary red morocco, gilt, hinges slightly rubbed, the upper cover with presentation inscription in gilt, with the armorial bookplate of Sir James Gomer Berry, a nice copy.

Cuninghame on the Dodo being on the islands of Mauritius, Bourbon, and Rodrigues, about 200 years previously (pp.91-93), and a fascinating discussion on how people and boats could have reached Madagascar from the Malays, with further interesting comments on the Malayan language (pp.136-148).
