Christliches Hauß-Buch, oder: Das grosse Leben Christi (...). Augsburg, Rieger, 1761. Title engraving, further five full-page and folded engravings resp. 549 pp. + reg., 261 pp. + (Used, remaining condition). Half leather binding 22 x 16 cm.

Etching, 540x400 mm. Wide margins. State III/V. Contemporary Roman issue. Good condition. It was with the creation of this plate that the great enterprise of the "Views of Rome," which would occupy Piranesi for the rest of his life, began. It is probably not by chance that he drew and engraved the title of what was to become his most famous work on a large block of stone as if to signify the laying of a 'milestone' in his career as an artist, in which his training, represented by the term 'architetto,' and his never-forgotten origin, represented by the term 'veneziano,' take on great value.

Estim. 800 - 1 200 EUR

Langlois, 1646. Scarce complete series (last appearing at auction in 2009) illustrating the life of the Blessed Virgin through emblems, avoiding depicting her directly or using traditional Christian iconography, instead utilizing secular and chivalric symbolism. This is the second state, recognisable by the numbering of the plates and the addition of the 'execudit di F.L.D. Il Ciartres' on the title-page. The first edition, of which there is no trace in sales repertoires, was published by Antoine Charlot in 1628-29. Oblong 8vo (65 x 85mm c.a). Complete set of 26 numbered plates of emblems and engraved title-page, trimmed at the margins and applied to leaves using thin adhesive strips on one side only. Bound in nineteenth-century half calf in eighteenth-century style. (1)

Estim. 800 - 900 EUR

French school; c. 1800. "The Guardian Angel". Oil on canvas. It presents faults on the pictorial surface. Measurements: 63 x 87 cm; 81 x 105 cm (frame). Devotional scene in which it is possible to appreciate a small infant that is being appealed by an angel that points out with his hand the good way. In Christianity, the guardian angel or guardian would be the one that God has appointed to each person to protect him. Hence, he is usually represented as a guide for life understood as a path, as is the case here. The fact that the artist has represented the faithful with the figure of a child emphasizes even more this protective role that the guardian angel fulfills with respect to the defenseless Christian soul. It presents faults on the pictorial surface.
