GUICHENON (Samuel). Histoire généalogique de la royale Maison de Savoie. ÀTurin, chez Jean-Michel Briolo, 1778-1780. 4(sur5) volumes in-folio, 24[ciphered vàxxviii without missing]-435-(1) +458 +444 +(6)-406-(6of which the last is blank)pp., titles printed in red and black, fawn half-basin with corners, spine ribbed with title and giblets (red and green for the 3 volumes of History and blond for the volume of proofs), red edges; second part of tomeIV missing (continuation of the proofs, including the Bibliotheca Sebusiana), bindings rubbed with slightly stained spines, a small handwritten paper label at the head of the first volume, one headband and corners worn (period binding). Enlarged edition of this classic work, originally published in 1660, "more beautiful than [the original], as rare, but less sought-after" (Saffroy, vol.III, n°50107). Extensively illustrated: 54 copper-engraved compositions, mostly by Luigi Valperga, (mainly portraits and representations of funerary monuments), including one in repetition to the titles, comprising 4 hors texte including 3 fold-outs; and over 310 wood-engraved vignettes (mainly sigillographic, numismatic and heraldic representations). The first modern historiographical work on Savoy. This vast Histoire généalogique, which took ten years to write, links numerous historical accounts in the order of succession of the dukes, with detours to evoke the fate of personalities belonging to the family's lateral branches. In this work, commissioned by the Duchess of Savoy, Christine de France (daughter of HenriIV), Samuel Guichenon certainly sets out to demonstrate the antiquity and power of the Savoyard dynasty, while insisting on its links with the House of France, but he applies the scientific methods of French historiography as established by Étienne Pasquier and Claude Fauchet. Unlike his predecessors, who confined themselves to compiling annals and ancient chronicles, Samuel Guichenon systematically sought to compare earlier versions, and above all to establish a corpus of reliable sources by copying original documents. As a result, despite a few errors, the work is still of great use to historians today. The greatest historian of Savoy. Samuel Guichenon (1607-1664) was born into a Protestant family in Mâcon, but converted in 1631. He first worked as a lawyer in Bourg-en-Bresse, before marrying well and devoting himself entirely to historical works. The publication of his Histoire de Bresse et du Bugey (1650) brought him to the attention of the learned world and earned him the posts of historiographer of France and historiographer of Dombes. He then entered the service of the Duchess of Savoy, Christine de France (1606-1663), who in turn appointed him historiographer of Savoy and commissioned him to write the history of the Savoy dynasty - which he did with the present work. Provenance: Counts of Antioch (ex-libris vignettes).

JAVIER PAGOLA (San Sebastian, 1955). Untitled, 2004 and 2007. Inks on paper (x2). Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Measurements: 28 x 40 cm; 42 x 54 cm (frame); 40 x 28 cm; 54 x 42 cm (frame). He studies Architecture at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Madrid, between 1974 and 1978. Later he settled in Cuenca, where he devoted himself to painting. Throughout his career he has been awarded several scholarships; in 1993 he obtained an Endesa scholarship for Plastic Arts, in 1997 a scholarship from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and in 1999 a scholarship for Plastic Arts from the Marcelino Botín Foundation. To his pictorial work must be added his work in the field of illustration of books such as Gargantua by Rabelais and incursions into the world of printmaking. His creative personality keeps him away from specific groups and movements. His work is based on the mastery of drawing, and in it we can observe an evolution from the gestural application of the stroke in line with abstract expressionism to the use, in the nineties, of a playful iconography. These characters, which are somewhere between the surrealist and childish worlds, populate the entire surface of the canvas in an anarchic way and some authors see in them an inspiration coming from the world of comics. He has had numerous solo exhibitions since he first did so in 1980 at the Ikusmira Gallery in San Sebastian. He also participates in important collective exhibitions and is present in the editions of Estampa'95 and 96 and Arco'94, 98, 2000, 2003. He has also been for years main draftsman in national presses, ABC, El PIS, and other publications. He is currently represented in collections such as the MNCA Reina Sofía and the Fine Arts Museums of Rome and Alava, Ars Fundum Gestión, S.L., Pamplona City Hall - Contemporary Art Collection, Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo (CA2M), among others.
