Bol Collaert (6 results)

Album with the complete series of Collaert's views around Brussels, here in its first unnumbered state, published by Hans van Luyck in Antwerp. Hans I Collaert (ca. 1525/30 - 1585) was a painter-draughtsman who founded the influential Collaert dynasty of engravers and print publishers. The views show villages, castles and abbeys in the vicinity of Brussels, engraved in a very naturalistic way. The series includes a view of the cloister of Zevenborren (south of Sint-Genesius-Rode), views of Schaarbeek, Elsene, Etterbeek, Stal, Eggevoort and Bosvoorde, and views of the some castles, including those of Brussels, Coensborg (south of Laken) and Carloo. Some references attribute the drawing of the views to Hans Bol because of an inscription added to the first plate of the later Visscher edition, but the "related drawings are not consistent with Bol's style" (New Hollstein). Others name Jacob Grimmer as an alternative candidate for the artist who drew the views.With a 20th-century manuscript inscription on the first free endleaf, mistakenly identifying the series as the second state published by Visscher, which is however numbered in the plates in contrast to the present series in an unnumbered first state. Binding slightly worn around the edges, some slight marginal foxing, stains, browning and soiling, but overall a beautiful album, complete and therefore rare with all the plates of Collaert's views around Brussels, here in its first state.l Hollstein IV, 149-172; New Hollstein, The Collaert dynasty V, 1229-1252; cf. New Hollstein, The Collaert dynasty I, pp. xlix-liii. Modern red half cloth, marbled sides. Series of 24 engravings (plate size ca. 20 x 14 cm) with views of landscapes around Brussels, by Hans I Collaert possibly after Hans Bol or Jacob Grimmer, each with a caption in the plate (plates 8 and 20 also with Van Luyck and Collaert's monograms "H.V.L.EX[cudit]" and "H.C.F[ecit]").

Hans Bol (1534-1593) fue un pintor flamenco célebre por sus miniaturas y trabajos a escala reducida, donde representaba grandes paisajes con paisajes y mansiones, así como la vida cotidiana en los pueblos y ciudades. Su trabajo exquisito como miniaturista en el Libro de Horas de Duque d'Alencon (1582, BnF), refleja el cuidado y detalle de uno de los mejores miniaturistas de todos los tiempo. Adriaen Collaert (1560-1618) era un grabador al aguafuerte y buril de gran reputación en su tiempo. Trabajó para su suegro Phillip Galle y posteriormente para los impresores Plantín y Moretus.

(Anvers), Jean Sadeler, 1585 ; in-4 oblong, 13 feuillets, en feuillets, sous coffret de toile noire moderne. Hans Bol, Hollstein, 94-108. Adrien Collaert, Hollstein, 511-522. Rare suite complète et en premier tirage des treize gravures sur cuivre (titre + 12 planches) exécutées par Adrian Collaert d?après les compositions de Hans Bol, peintre, dessinateur et miniaturiste malinois, héritier spirituel de Pieter Bruegel l?Ancien. Chaque planche illustre un épisode du Nouveau Testament centré sur la figure du Christ, associé aux travaux agricoles et aux signes du zodiaque correspondant au mois représenté. Comme l?a souligné Joris Van Grieken (De la plume à la presse. La production et l?usage des gravures sur cuivre à Anvers (1550?1600), 2012), cette synthèse originale entre scènes évangéliques, cycle zodiacal et activités mensuelles semble constituer une innovation dans l?iconographie occidentale de la fin du XVIe siècle. Ainsi, la fuite en Égypte est située dans un paysage hivernal de janvier, la parabole des vignerons correspond à mars, celle du semeur à avril, la rencontre avec la Samaritaine à mai, ou encore les vendanges d?octobre liées à la parabole de l?intendant infidèle. Cette articulation ingénieuse entre cycles célestes, travaux saisonniers et récits évangéliques manifeste toute l?inventivité de Bol et la virtuosité de Collaert graveur. Dimensions : env. 154 x 207 mm (cuvette), sur feuillets de 250 x 290/280 mm ; le titre et les mois de juin et août (ce dernier 225 x 273 mm) présentent des restaurations marginales. Quelques plis, rares taches, mais bon état d?ensemble, tirages nets et bien encrés. 1585.
