Le Bas's Copper Engraving -1770- LES PROGRES VEGETATION






J.P. LE BAS'S COPPER ENGRAVING

This 231 year old copper engraving was rescued fromP.J. Le Bas's (1707-1783) "LE SPECTACLE DE LA NATURE ou ENTRETIENS SUR LES PARTICULATITES de L'HISTOIRE NATURELLE" published by Chez les Freres Estienne in 1780 in Paris, France. The engraver was P.J. Le Bas. (1707-1783)


Jacques Philippe Le Bas: One of the most distinguished French engravers of the eighteenth century. His talent for art was noticed at an early age and when he was fourteen he was apprenticed to M. Herisset, an engraver of architecture. The young Le Bas soon outgrew the talents of his master and he was placed under the painter/engraver, Nicolas Tardieu.

Le Bas's first engraved work was commissioned by de Crozat and gained for the artist a national reputation. Creating important engravings of figure studies, landscapes and architectural studies after such masters as Boucher, Lancret, Watteau, Rubens. Rosa and Rembrandt, Jacques Philippe Le Bas became a full Academician of the French Royal Academy in 1743.

In total this great engraver left an oeuvre of over 300 works of graphic art.The reputation of Le Bas's engraved art was so strong that as early as 1745 he began publishing his own art from his Paris studio at rue de la Harpe. His influence was also strongly felt as a scholar and teacher of the fine arts. He taught engraving techniques to such now well known artists as Cochin, Moreau, Eisen, Nicholas DeLaunay, Le Mire and England's Robert Strange and William Ryland.

   
   

The engraving is in  good condition, with usual minor age toning.The edges are rough but there is plenty of margin. The print was folded into the book so there is a fold mark faintly showing. The image is about 5 " x 3 " on a page that is about 7 " x 4 ". The engraving is suitable for framing and would make an excellent gift.
