Unidentified printmaker from the circle of
Abraham Genoels
(aka [nickname] Archimedes) (1640–1723)—possibly Adriaen Fransz.
Boudewijns (1644-1719) who is known to copy Genoels’ designs, but to my
eyes in terms of style the artist is more likely to be Felix Meyer (1653–1713);
see for example Meyer’s etching after Genoels: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/415527.
“Mountaintop in the Clouds” (TIB title) (aka
“Arcadian Landscape with a Small Lake”), c1680, after the design and etching in
reverse by Abraham Genoels (see http://hdl.handle.net/10934/RM0001.COLLECT.116290).
Etching on laid
paper trimmed with a thread margin around the image borderlines on the top and
sides and retaining the text lines, backed with a support sheet.
Size: (sheet) 19.6
x 14.3 cm; (image borderline) 19 x 14.2 cm.
Lettered in plate below the image borderline: (left) “A. Genoels inv. Romæ.”
(In reverse and after) TIB 5.13 (Walter L
Strauss [gen. ed.] 1979, “The Illustrated Bartsch: Netherlandish Artists”, vol.
5, p. 304, cat. no. 13 [331]).
Condition: a strong impression trimmed close
to the image borderline but retaining the text line and laid onto a sheet of
archival (millennium quality) washi paper. Beyond a closed tear at lower left,
the sheet in an excellent condition with no significant stains or foxing.
