Add to basket10 print series in 1 volume. Ten complete and very rare etched and engraved architectural-ornamental print series (each with 6 prints), designed and executed by the leading Paris architect and engraver Jean Le Pautre (1618-1682). "One of the most inventive and prolific ornamental draftsmen of all time. . Le Pautre's importance is vast. . All Europe followed his influence until the end of the eighteenth century." (Millard). Working for the Manufacture des Gobelins and on his own account, Le Pautre executed much work for Louis XIV. The work also provides a survey of Paris fashion in interior decoration fairly early in the reign of Louis XIV and helped to determine and establish the richly ornamental style we associate with Louis and his circles. The collection contains the following print series:Ad 1. Retables dautels a l[']italien[n]e . Paris, Pierre II Mariette, [ca. 1670]. Ad 2. Tabernacles pour orner et embellir les autels nouvellement inventés et gravés . Paris, Pierre II Mariette, [ca. 1670]. Ad 3. [Autels]. [Paris], Jean I Le Blond, [ca. 1655]. Ad 4.
