edition of the collected works on the art of painting by the Scottish artist John Burnet (1784-1868), illustrated by himself. He dedicated the present work to Sir Thomas Lawrence, the President of the Royal Academy. It is divided into three parts: on composition, chiaroscuro (light and shadow), and colour. The text does not instruct the reader to paint but rather to understand painting, making this a manual for looking at paintings and an introduction to connoisseurship. Being able to converse about art had become an important part of social life for the upper class and this work would prove welcome for anybody who wished to be able to understand art better. It was a valuable work, in a luxurious binding and illustrated thoroughly, partly with coloured plates. Burnet was a respected artist who made all of the reproductions himself, for which he used a combination of etching, aquatint and hand-colouring. As examples Burnet used many famous paintings of Italian, Flemish and Dutch artists, such as Paulus Potter, Adriaan van Ostade, Claude, Rubens, Albert Cuyp, Ter Borch, Rembrandt, Pieter de Hooghe, Van Dyck, Gab. Metsu, Ger. Dou, Adr. van de Velde, David Teniers, Wouwermans, Hondecoeter, Frans Hals, Corregio, Raffael, Titian and Veronese. Remise de 20% pour toutes commandes supérieures à 200 €
Les joueurs de dames.
Paris, Basset, [1830]. 302 x 213 mm.
Planche gravée à l'aquatinte par Joly d'après une peinture du graveur et peintre écossais John Burnet, dont le titre original est Playing at draughts. Elle a été publiée par Paul André Basset en 1830. On y voit deux hommes assis à une table à l'extérieur d'un cottage et jouant aux dames. L'homme de gauche lève la tête en riant, tandis que son compagnon a le regard concentré sur le plateau de jeu. Un chien se tient à leurs pieds. À l'arrière, debout dans l'embrasure de la porte, une femme, tenant un enfant et une cruche, les observe. Bon exemplaire. Petite déchirure dans la marge gauche. Bibliographie de la France, ou Journal général de l'imprimerie et de la librairie, Mars 1830, p. 175.
