Nicolas Bonnart I (c1637–1718)
“Ecce Homo,” c1690 (1680–1700),
after the 1598 engraving by Raphael Sadeler I (1560/6–1628/32) (see https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/P_X-1-109)
after the painting by Jacopo Ligozzi (1547–1627)
in the Bavarian State Painting Collections (see https://www.sammlung.pinakothek.de/en/artwork/ZMLJr9VLJv/jacopo-ligozzi/ecce-homo).
Regarding the portrayed subject, according to the
Rijksmuseum, the figure on the left is Pontius Pilate showing the scourged
Christ to the Jewish people (see http://hdl.handle.net/10934/RM0001.COLLECT.168802),
but the British Museum offers an alternative reading by advising that the left
figure is Herod Antipas (see BM inv. no. X,1.109). The head to the left of Christ
is Barabbas, the murderer released by the crowd.
Engraving on laid paper with a small margin around
the platemark.
Size: (sheet) 27.3 x 21.5 cm; (plate) 24.5 x 19.7
cm; (image borderline) 23.5 x 19.1 cm.
Lettered on plate below the image borderline:
(left) “A Paris chez Nicolas Bonnart rue St Jacques a l'Aigle”; (centre) “ECCE
HOMO.”
Condition: richly inked, near faultless
impression, with a small margin (approx. 1 cm) around the platemark. The sheet
has remnants of mounting (verso), otherwise the sheet is in an excellent condition for its
age (i.e. there are no tears, holes, folds, abrasions, stains or foxing).
I am selling this strong and near faultless impression
executed after the engraving by Raphael Sadeler I and in turn after the
painting by Jacopo Ligozzi, for the total cost of AU$261 (currently US$186.90/EUR158.54/GBP143.14
at the time of this listing) including Express Mail (EMS) postage and handling
to anywhere in the world (but not, of course, any import duties/taxes imposed
by some countries).
If you are interested in purchasing this sensitively
executed engraving, please contact me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I
will send you a PayPal invoice to make the payment easy.
