‎Trois carnets de dessins et croquis provenant de la famille historique anglaise Streatfeild originaire de Chiddingstone (Kent). Les membres de la famille Streatfeild étaient d'importants propriétaires dans le Sussex, le Surrey et le Kent, et ont contribué à façonner ces comtés au cours des 17e et 18e siècles. Le siège de la famille était le château de Chiddingstone (à l'origine High Street House) et leur histoire remonte au XVIème siècle avec son plus ancien descendant connu: Robert Streatfeild de Chiddingstone (1514 - 1599). De part la ressemblance frappante entre leurs armoiries, la famille Streatfeild est très probablement une branche cadette de la noble maison de Stratford. Le premier carnet contient 49 dessins à laquarelle et croquis au crayon gris représentant des études de paysages, de bâtiments et de navires et de moulins à vent. Les dessins à laquarelle sont particulièrement bien exécutés tandis que les dessins au crayon gris se distinguent par leur finesse. Le carnet est agrémenté dune note manuscrite détachée avec 8 lignes de dates et de coordonnées géographiques avec les conditions météorologiques décrites pour chaque jour. Le second album comporte 32 dessins et croquis variés au crayon gris de paysages, maisons de campagne, ruines et détails architecturaux d'églises. Le dernier carnet débute avec 4 photos en couleur de dessins très probablement exécutés par un membre de la famille Streatfeild. En outre, il comporte 16 dessins et croquis et dessins au crayon gris ou à lencre représentant majoritairement des plans de maisons sous différents angles. Un certain nombre de dessins du capitaine Robert Streatfeild (1786-1852) ont été proposés chez Christie's en 2016 dans la vente Old Master Drawings and British Drawings and Watercolours (lots 144-150), et si ces dessins étaient à plus grande échelle, on note des similitudes d'exécution notables avec certaines aquarelles et croquis des présents albums. Le British Museum détient également un carnet de croquis du révérend Thomas Streatfeild (1777-1848 ; antiquaire et homme d'église renommé) présentant dimportantes ressemblances à nos carnets de dessins (voir BM n° 1969,0208.4-10). 2 oblong 12mo notebooks (121 x 190 mm and 119 x 165 mm) and 1 8vo notebook (180 x 115 mm) of: I. 49 watercolor drawings and gray pencil sketches; 1 detached handwritten note describing weather conditions over a week; watermarks "J. Whatman 1810"; II. 32 gray pencil drawings and sketches; inscriptions and calculations at the beginning and end of the notebook in gray pencil; III. 16 drawings and sketches in gray pencil; 4 color photographs; notes and calculations at beginning and end of notebook; bookseller's label: "Made & Sold by E. William, Stationer to the Duke & Duchess of York N°11 Strand"; watermarks: "W. Turner & Son", "Budgen & (...) 18(..)" and "J. Green 1813". A total of 97 drawings and sketches and 4 photographs. (Some detached leaves and tears, soiling and defects of use). I. Half red long-grained morocco with corners and pencil holder, smooth spine decorated with gilt fillets, boards covered with green paper, remains of a clasp; II. Full red long-grained morocco with pencil holder, smooth mute spine; III. Vintage black half-chagrin, muted spine, marbled paper covered boards, muted smooth spine. (Rubbing and defects of use). Three sketchbooks from the historic English Streatfeild family of Chiddingstone, Kent. Members of the Streatfeild family were prominent landowners in Sussex, Surrey and Kent, and helped shape these counties during the 17th and 18th centuries. The family seat was Chiddingstone Castle (originally High Street House) and their history dates back to the 16th century with its earliest known descendant Robert Streatfeild of Chiddingstone (1514 - 1599). Because of the striking resemblance between their coats of arms, the Streatfeild family is most likely a younger branch of the noble house of Stratford. The first notebook contains 49 watercolor and gray pencil sketches depicting studies of landscapes, buildings, ships and windmills. The watercolor drawings are particularly well executed while the gray pencil drawings are distinguished by their finesse. The notebook is embellished with a detached handwritten note with 8 lines of dates and geographical coordinates with weather conditions described for each day. The second album contains 32 various drawings and sketches in grey pencil of landscapes, country houses, ruins and architectural details of churches. The final booklet begins with 4 color photographs of drawings most likely executed by a member of the Streatfeild family. In addition, there are 16 sketches and drawings in gray pencil or ink, mostly of house plans from various angles. A number of drawings by Captain Robert Streatfeild (1786-1852) were offered at Christie's in 2016 in the sale "Old Master Drawings and British Drawings and Watercolours" (lots 144-150), and while these drawings were on a larger scale, there are notable similarities in execution with some of the watercolors and sketches in the present albums. The British Museum also holds a sketchbook of the Reverend Thomas Streatfeild (1777-1848; noted antiquarian and churchman) with significant similarities to our drawing books (see BM No. 1969,0208.4-10).‎

‎Drawings of Peter Paul Rubens, A Critical Catalogue vols; 1-4, - 4-volumes catalogue raisonn of all drawings.‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2021-2023 4 vols., 536 pages + 732 pages, 216 x 280 mm , 260 + 291 colour ill., English, Hardcovers, FINE ISBN 9782503595702.‎

‎This is the 4-volume catalogue raisonn of all drawings considered by the authors to be by Rubens. It covers the years 1590- 1608, Volumes II and III dealing, respectively, with the periods 1609-20 and 1621- 40. It is the first publication that presents the artist?s entire drawn oeuvre in chronological order, previous such publications containing only selections of drawings. By leafing through the illustrations, this arrangement provides the user with a quick visual impression of the variety of techniques, media, subject and functions of Rubens?s drawings at an one time. Volume I consists of the drawings of the artist?s childhood, apprenticeship and first years as a master in Antwerp to his formative years in Italy, spent mostly in Mantua and Rome, with an excursion to Spain. These are the years primarily devoted to learning and absorbing the art of the past, from sixteenth-century German and Netherlandish prints to the works of the ancient and Italian Renaissance masters. A large number of these drawings consists of copies after the works of other artists, largely executed as part of the artistic training at the time. For the first time, Rubens's copies and their models are not discussed and illustrated as a separate entity but are fully integrated into the rest of his graphic oeuvre, thus showing copies and original compositions created at the same time side by side. The volume contains 204 entries, including several sheets with drawings on recto and verso. Each entry consists of a detailed physical description of the drawing, provenance, exhibition history, full bibliography and a critical, interpretive discussion. In addition, Volume I contains an essay on the history of the scholarship of Rubens?s drawings, a subject that has not been treated before. All drawings by Rubens and the works by other artists he copied as well as a selection of other comparative images are reproduced in color. This is Volume II in the three-volume catalogue raisonn of the drawings by Rubens covering the years 1609?20. The project is a collaboration between Anne-Marie Logan, to whom belong all the Rubens attributions, and Kristin Lohse Belkin. It is the first publication that presents the artist?s entire drawn oeuvre in chronological order, previous such publications containing only selections of drawings. By leafing through the illustrations, this arrangement offers the user a quick visual impression of the variety of techniques, media, subject matter and functions of Rubens?s drawings at any one time. Accordingly, Volume II consists of the drawings from the time of Rubens?s return from Italy and the establishment of his workshop in Antwerp to the completion of his contribution to the furnishing and decoration of the city?s new Jesuit church, today?s St. Charles Borromeo. The decade is characterized by a broad range of genres and iconography: large altarpieces stand next to cabinet-size pictures, book illustrations next to designs for tapestry, sculpture and architectural reliefs; religious, mythological and historical subjects alternate with allegories, portraits, exotic hunts and scenes from country life. Copies after other artists? works that constitute such a large part of Rubens?s early years discussed in Volume I have given way to original inventions in pen and ink and, above all, by life studies in chalk of the human body, naked or dressed. The whole spectrum of Rubens?s extraordinary creativity, nowhere presented as directly and immediately as in his drawings, is there to be contemplated in all its astonishing diversity. Each entry consists of a detailed physical description of the drawing, provenance, exhibition history, full bibliography and a critical, interpretive discussion. All drawings by Rubens as well as a selection of comparative images are reproduced in color.‎

‎[Ensemble de 40 dessins au crayon noir ou à l'encre, certains rehaussés d'aquarelle/Set of 40 drawings in black pencil or ink, some enhanced with watercolor].‎

‎S.l., 1858-1864 (pour la plupart) 1858 1 vol in-4° oblong (225 x 300 mm.) de: 35 ff. de dessins (les 6 derniers sur papier teinté); 3 ff. manuscrits ajoutés. Demi-chagrin noir d'époque, dos lisse orné en long d'un motif doré, titre doré « Album » sur le premier plat, tranches dorées.‎

‎Magnifique album comprenant 40 dessins au crayon noir ou à l'encre (certains rehaussés à laquarelle) sur lArgentine du milieu du XIXe siècle. La plupart sont daté de 1858-1864 mais ne présentent pas de lieu spécifique. Les dessins, montés sur les feuillets de l'album ou exécutés à pleine page, montrent des portraits de Gauchos, ou gardiens de troupeaux des plaines sud-américaines, des personnages divers, des scènes allégoriques, des militaires, des cavaliers à la chasse, des vues d'une baie et de quelques îlots, ainsi que des installations minières en Argentine. Parmi cet ensemble, 5 dessins sont signés « P.A. Conil » ou « P.A.C », 1 est signé « Emilie Jaudin » et un autre « Rosenthal » ; les autres ne sont pas signés. On relève une quinzaine de dessins évoquant principalement l'Argentine : Gaucho assis, de profil (signé P.A. Conil). - Gaucho argentin représenté assis, de trois-quarts. - Roue del Ojo de Agua (daté 16 janvier 1858). - Gaucho argentin, représenté de face, portant un éperon à une botte. - Plan du Guayco (encre et aquarelle). - Gaucho argentin debout, vu de face. - Portrait d'homme, vu de profil (daté 15 mars 1858). - Gauchos paraguayes (signé P.A. Conil ; il représente un gaucho et une gaucha). - Portrait d'un habitant en costume (daté 27 juillet 1860). - Faena de la Mina Eufemia (crayon noir, encre et rehauts d'aquarelle). - Mina Eufemia (encre et aquarelle, 4 coupes sur double page datées 1861 à 1864). - Casa y Despensas de la Mina Eufemia (encre et aquarelle). - Cerro de la Yba Buena (croquis de cette montagne, avec mention « visité le 15 janvier 1858 avec MM. Lelong, Martin de Moussy, Shaw, Léon Roque »). - Gauchos regardant un combat de coqs (signé P.A. Conil). - Vue d'une baie bordée de montagnes. - Vue de plusieurs îlots (avec 3 petits dessins à l'encre, au lavis ou au crayon). L'auteur devait probablement être employé dans l'une des mines représentées dans l'album, celles-ci étant situées dans la province de Córdoba, au nord de l'Argentine. L'un des feuillets manuscrits précise : « Les mines de la Société A. Barrau & P. Jaudin sont au nombre de neuf dont huit dans le district minier du Guayco et une dans celui de l'Ojo de Agua. Le Guayco est à une distance de six lieues environ de l'établissement de fonderie ; il en est séparé par un chemin qu'il serait facile, à peu de frais, de rendre carrossable... ». Suit la liste des mines en question, elle-même suivie d'un tableau synoptique des mines exploitables d'où étaient extraits les minerais de plomb et d'argent. A la fin, un dessin représente un village à proximité d'un cours d'eau; exécuté à la plume et à l'encre noire, il est daté et signé « 04 P.A.C ». Un autre dessin, également à l'encre, représente une carte des environs de Sainte-Foy (Dordogne) ; il est signé et daté « P.A. Conil 1907 ». Ces deux dessins semblent être de Pierre-Auguste Conil, mort en 1942, préhistorien et archéologue, vice-président de la Société historique et archéologique de Libourne, auteur de nombreux travaux sur la préhistoire et les antiquités gallo-romaines. Quant aux dessins exécutés vers 1860, ils ont sans doute été réalisés par un parent de Pierre-Auguste Conil établi en Argentine et portant les mêmes initiales. L'un des dessins atteste qu'il a effectué une excursion avec le célèbre médecin et géographe Victor Martin de Moussy, qui explora l'Argentine, le Chili et le Paraguay de 1855 à 1859. Curieux album évoquant les mines en Argentine au milieu du XIXe siècle. 1 vol. 4-to oblong (225 x 300 mm.) of : 35 ff. of drawings (the last 6 on tinted paper); 3 ff. added manuscripts. Contemporary black half-chagrin, smooth spine decorated with a gilt motif, gilt title "Album" on the first board, gilt edges. Magnificent album including 40 drawings in black pencil or ink (some enhanced with watercolor) on Argentina in the mid-nineteenth century. Most of them are dated 1858-1864 but do not show a specific place. The drawings, mounted on the album leaves or executed full page, show portraits of Gauchos, or herdsmen of the South American plains, various characters, allegorical scenes, military men, horsemen hunting, views of a bay and some islets, as well as mining installations in Argentina. Among this set, 5 drawings are signed "P.A. Conil" or "P.A.C", 1 is signed "Emilie Jaudin" and another "Rosenthal"; the others are not signed. There are about fifteen drawings mainly evoking Argentina: Gaucho sitting, in profile (signed P.A. Conil). - Argentinean Gaucho represented seated, three-quarters. - Wheel of the Ojo de Agua (dated January 16, 1858). - Argentinean Gaucho, depicted in front, wearing a spur to a boot. - Map of Guayco (ink and watercolor). - Argentine Gaucho standing, seen from the front. - Portrait of man, seen in profile (dated March 15, 1858). - Paraguayan Gauchos (signed P.A. Conil; depicts a gaucho and a gaucha). - Portrait of an inhabitant in costume (dated July 27, 1860). - Faena de la Mina Eufemia (black pencil, ink and watercolor highlights). - Mina Eufemia (ink and watercolor, 4 cuts on double page dated 1861 to 1864). - Casa y Despensas de la Mina Eufemia (ink and watercolor). - Cerro de la Yba Buena (sketch of this mountain, with the mention "visited on January 15, 1858 with MM. Lelong, Martin de Moussy, Shaw, Léon Roque"). - Gauchos watching a cockfight (signed P.A. Conil). - View of a bay bordered by mountains. - View of several islets (with 3 small drawings in ink, wash or pencil). The author was probably employed in one of the mines represented in the album, these being located in the province of Córdoba, in the north of Argentina. One of the handwritten pages states: "The mines of the Company A. Barrau & P. Jaudin are nine in number, eight of which are in the mining district of Guayco and one in that of Ojo de Agua. The Guayco is at a distance of about six leagues from the smelter establishment; it is separated from it by a road that it would be easy, at little cost, to make passable..." (translated from French). This is followed by a list of the mines in question, itself followed by a synoptic table of the exploitable mines from which the lead and silver ores were extracted. At the end, a drawing depicts a village near a river; executed in pen and black ink, it is dated and signed "04 P.A.C". Another drawing, also in ink, represents a map of the surroundings of Sainte-Foy (Dordogne); it is signed and dated "P.A. Conil 1907". These two drawings seem to be by Pierre-Auguste Conil, who died in 1942, prehistorian and archaeologist, vice-president of the Historical and Archaeological Society of Libourne, author of numerous works on prehistory and Gallo-Roman antiquities. As for the drawings made around 1860, they were probably made by a relative of Pierre-Auguste Conil established in Argentina and bearing the same initials. One of the drawings shows that he went on an excursion with the famous doctor and geographer Victor Martin de Moussy, who explored Argentina, Chile and Paraguay from 1855 to 1859. Curious album evoking the mines in Argentina in the middle of the 19th century.‎
