Description

HOLBEIN (Hans). Icones historiarum veteris testamenti. Ad Viuum expressae extremaque diligentia emendatiores factae, Gallicis in expositione homoeotelentis, ac versuum ordinibus (qui prius turbati, ac impares) suo numero restitutis. Lyon, Jean Frellon, 1547. In-12, cream vellum, smooth spine, horizontal title (later binding). Magnificent suite of woodcuts by Hans Lutzelburger, after drawings by Hans Holbein. The most complete edition, containing 98 figures, 6 more than the first of 1538. Each woodcut is accompanied by a Latin text and a French quatrain by Gilles Corrozet. The engravings are in an excellent edition. There are 2 types of copies of this book with French and Latin text, dated 1547. The first, whose proofs are pale but beautiful, was printed on the original woodcuts; the second, with the same date, was printed on clichés. This copy conforms in all respects to Brunet's III-253 description of the original woodcut. Bound with the GAY-LUSSAC supra-libris, probably by Jules Gay-Lussac son of Louis-Joseph Gay-Lussac famous French chemist and physicist, known for his studies on the properties of gases. A very fine, fresh copy, with a few leaves a little short of margin.

Jh." notes: "... he attempted to succeed Frans Snyder, Jan Fyt or Jan Brueghel the Elder. His works have an old-masterly colouring, the objects are brought out of deep darkness in brilliant, rich colours by a warm, luminous incident light. In terms of subject matter, Kunz mainly focussed on still lifes of flowers and fruit, which he occasionally enlivened with animals - in particular a monkey or a parrot. He was also a master in the depiction of precious objects such as old wine glasses or ivory and silver tankards. ...", glazed, partially slightly impasto painting, oil on wood panel, signed and dated "L.
