The \u201c<em>Collection<\/em>\u201d was lauded as one\u00a0of the greatest early nineteenth-century French flower\u00a0books and also one of the earliest stipple-engraved\u00a0and colour-printed books produced, was never bound\u00a0as a volume.<\/p>\n<p>During his lifetime, Pr\u00e9vost was a successful and widely\u00a0renowned botanical painter, respected both for his\u00a0watercolour and oil paintings and for his engraved\u00a0works. He was a pupil of Jean Jacques Bachelier in\u00a0Paris, and became a member of the <em>Acad\u00e9mie de Saint\u00a0Luc<\/em>. His paintings were consistently exhibited in the\u00a0prestigious Paris Salon, and his original watercolours\u00a0served as models for a series of sumptuous color-plate botanical books.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pierre-Joseph_Redout%C3%A9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pierre-Joseph Redout\u00e9<\/a>, his great contemporary,\u00a0Pr\u00e9vost\u2019s intention with his works was not primarily\u00a0scientific. His \u201c<em>Collection<\/em>\u201d was\u00a0intended as a reference work for china and fabric pattern\u00a0designers, and the aesthetic sensibility dominates\u00a0any documentary goal in his lavishly executed compositions.\u00a0In these engravings, Pr\u00e9vost demonstrates his mastery\u00a0of the traditional still-life genre. The delicate, detailed\u00a0and highly accurate depiction of each fruit and leaf\u00a0exemplifies the artist&#8217;s exceptional rendering skill, and\u00a0the nuanced use of stipple engraving to create shadow\u00a0and light makes the subject appear to emerge from the\u00a0paper with vibrant three-dimensionality. The luminosity\u00a0of stipple engraving is particularly suited to the\u00a0reproduction of botanical detail. It is essentially a\u00a0technique of etching a copper plate with a dense grid\u00a0of dots that can be modulated to convey delicate gradations\u00a0of colour and tone. The plates were painted\u00a0with watercolour before each impression, creating a\u00a0rich and subtle colour quality that is deeply pressed\u00a0into the paper.<\/p>\n<p>The most delicate highlights and details are then\u00a0added by hand to finish each print according to the\u00a0original watercolour that Pr\u00e9vost provided. This complex\u00a0and delicate printing process combines the technical\u00a0virtuosity and aesthetic sensitivity that characterizes\u00a0this great age of French botanical works.<\/p>\n<p>Price: SOLD<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Four tulips, stipple engraving made by Louis Charles Ruotte after the design of Jean Louis Pr\u00e9vost.
