Jahrhundert von Augustin de Saint-Aubin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDieses Porträt des französischen Dramatikers Pierre Corneille ist ein hervorragendes Beispiel für die technische Präzision, die Augustin de Saint-Aubin erreichte. Als Mitglied einer prominenten Familie von Graveuren im Paris des 18. Jahrhunderts erwarb sich Saint-Aubin einen Ruf für seine Fähigkeit, Textur und Form durch kontrollierte Linienführung darzustellen. Die Komposition zeigt Corneille im Profil, ein klassisches Format für Erinnerungsporträts, eingefasst in einen ovalen Rahmen. Der Hintergrund weist ein Kreuzschraffurmuster auf, das eine neutrale Umgebung bietet und das Subjekt klar hervorhebt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaint-Aubin verwendet eine Kombination aus Radierung und Gravur, um die Merkmale des Dramatikers zu definieren. Der Faltenwurf des Kragens und die Falten der Kleidung sind mit subtilen Tonabstufungen wiedergegeben, was die Meisterschaft des Künstlers im Umgang mit dem Grabstichel demonstriert. Die Einfügung einer rechteckigen Tafel unter dem ovalen Rahmen, die den Namen des Dargestellten trägt, folgt den Konventionen der formalen Buchillustration und der Druckserien, die in dieser Zeit üblich waren. Dieses Werk spiegelt das Interesse der Aufklärung wider, Persönlichkeiten der Vergangenheit zu dokumentieren, oft zur Aufnahme in literarische Sammlungen oder biographische Bände. Der Druck fängt den intellektuellen Charakter des Subjekts ein, wobei die Profilansicht die Gesichtsstruktur und die zeittypische Frisur betont. Die Zurückhaltung in der Komposition stellt sicher, dass der Fokus auf der Ähnlichkeit bleibt und unnötige Verzierungen vermieden werden. Dieser Druck ist ein repräsentatives Stück französischer Grafikkunst aus dem späten 18. Jahrhundert und zeigt die hohen handwerklichen Standards, die von den Druckern dieser Ära erwartet wurden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eDas könnte Ihnen auch gefallen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/apotheosis-of-hercules-giovanni-domenico-tiepolo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eApotheose des Herkules – Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo — Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/portrait-of-marie-louise-omurphy-nude-on-a-sofa-francois-boucher\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePorträt von Marie-Louise O'Murphy (nackt auf einem Sofa) – Francois Boucher — Francois Boucher\u003c\/a\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Augustin de Saint-Aubin","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58511622734159,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58511998091599,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58511998124367,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58511998157135,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58511998189903,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58511998222671,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58511998255439,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58511998288207,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58511998320975,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58511998353743,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58511998386511,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58511998419279,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portrait-of-Pierre-Corneille_Poster_CompositorV1_1786444566374.jpg?v=1787106196"},{"product_id":"michel-de-montaigne-augustin-de-saint-aubin","title":"Michel de Montaigne - Augustin de Saint-Aubin","description":"\u003cp\u003eEin raffiniertes Porträtstich des Philosophen Michel de Montaigne aus dem 18.

Saint-Aubin, ein Meister der französischen Druckgrafiktradition des 18. Jahrhunderts, verwendet präzise Linienführung, um das Abbild des Denkers festzuhalten. Das Motiv wird im Profil dargestellt, eingefasst in einen runden Rahmen, der auf einem rechteckigen Sockel ruht.

Die klaren, kontrollierten Linien sind charakteristisch für die Vorliebe der Epoche für Klarheit und Ordnung. Dieser Druck dient als historische Aufzeichnung einer bedeutenden intellektuellen Persönlichkeit, dargestellt mit der Präzision, die von einem professionellen Graveur der französischen Schule erwartet wird.

Die Beleuchtung ist diffus und erzeugt ein Gefühl von Intimität und Dramatik, während Laban in der Mitte steht und seine Geste den Blick des Betrachters auf die sitzende Figur der Rahel lenkt.

Die Einbeziehung häuslicher Gegenstände und der Zeltstruktur schafft ein Gefühl des Ortes und verankert das mythologische Ereignis in einer greifbaren, wenn auch stilisierten Realität. Dieses Werk demonstriert die Vielseitigkeit des Künstlers jenseits seiner bekannten grafischen Arbeiten und zeigt seine Fähigkeit, komplexe Mehrfigurenkompositionen mit leichter, malerischer Hand zu gestalten.

Der Künstler vermeidet starre Formalität und entscheidet sich stattdessen für eine fließendere und unmittelbarere Darstellung seines Sujets. Die Beleuchtung ist so gestaltet, dass sie die Gesichtszüge und die zarten Rüschen der Haube hervorhebt und sicherstellt, dass der Betrachter mit der erzählerischen Absicht der Geste beschäftigt bleibt.

The work depicts a small, long-haired spaniel, a breed favoured by the aristocracy of the period. The dog is positioned in a naturalistic setting, resting near a tree with foliage that provides a textured backdrop to the animal's soft coat. The composition includes a distant, rolling landscape, which adds a sense of depth to the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAugustin de Saint-Aubin, a member of a prominent family of engravers, completed this work in 1756. The print is based on an original design by the painter Jean-Baptiste Huet and was initially etched by Étienne Fessard before Saint-Aubin finished the plate. The lower section of the print features an elaborate coat of arms, complete with heraldic supporters, which connects the subject to the social status of its owner, the Dame du Palais de la Reine. The dedication to Madame de Pompadour further situates the piece within the cultural sphere of the French court.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe technical execution demonstrates the precision characteristic of the period.

The inclusion of the heraldic emblem at the base serves as a formal anchor, balancing the organic forms of the dog and the vegetation above. This print offers a glimpse into the domestic lives of the French elite, where pets were often subjects of artistic study and symbols of loyalty.

Saint-Aubin, a member of a prominent family of French engravers, demonstrates his technical precision through the delicate cross-hatching and fine line work that defines the figures and the atmospheric clouds. The composition is arranged in a tiered, theatrical manner, typical of the Rococo period, where mythological subjects were often treated with a sense of grace and lightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApollo is positioned at the upper portion of the scene, radiating light, while Venus and her attendants occupy the foreground and mid-ground.

The scene captures the moment Vertumnus, the god of seasons and gardens, disguises himself as an elderly woman to gain access to the garden of Pomona, the wood nymph who tends to her fruit trees with singular devotion.

The print is a fine example of the technical skill required for eighteenth-century book illustration and commemorative documentation, reflecting the period's interest in classical motifs and formal portraiture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/apotheosis-of-hercules-giovanni-domenico-tiepolo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eApotheosis of Hercules - Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo — Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/the-cascade-antoine-watteau\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Cascade - Antoine Watteau — Antoine Watteau\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Augustin de Saint-Aubin","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58605666107727,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58605703332175,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58605703364943,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58605703397711,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58605703430479,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58605703463247,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58605703496015,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58605703528783,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58605703561551,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58605703594319,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58605703627087,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58605703659855,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portrait-Medal-of-Louis-XV_Poster_CompositorV1_1788083646747.jpg?v=1788119951"},{"product_id":"woman-wearing-a-crown-receiving-a-garland-of-flowers-and-fruit-augustin-de-saint-aubin","title":"Woman Wearing a Crown, Receiving a Garland of Flowers and Fruit - Augustin de Saint-Aubin","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined 1768 French Rococo engraving by Augustin de Saint-Aubin, depicting an allegorical scene of a crowned woman receiving floral and fruit offerings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching and engraving, dated 1768, represents the refined graphic output of the French Rococo period. Augustin de Saint-Aubin, a member of a prominent family of engravers, executed this plate after a design by Jean-Baptiste Le Prince. The composition displays the characteristic lightness and decorative sensibility associated with eighteenth-century French printmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene is allegorical, featuring a central female figure adorned with a mural crown, suggesting an embodiment of a city or a personification of abundance. She is surrounded by figures who offer symbols of fertility and harvest, including a garland of flowers and various fruits. To the right, an older, bearded figure sits near a small altar or brazier, adding a classical, perhaps mythological, dimension to the narrative. Above, a figure drives a chariot pulled by horses through the clouds, a common motif in the period to denote celestial or divine presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaint-Aubin employs a delicate line quality, using fine cross-hatching and stippling to create subtle gradations of tone.

The work reflects the era's fascination with classical themes, rendered with a light touch that avoids heavy moralising. The precision of the burin work allows for the clear rendering of textures, from the soft clouds to the drapery of the garments. This print serves as an example of the collaborative nature of eighteenth-century print production, where the roles of the designer, or 'inventor', and the engraver were distinct yet complementary.

This print offers a glimpse into the eighteenth-century interpretation of Cervantes, reflecting the period's fascination with chivalric themes and the satirical humour inherent in the original text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/apotheosis-of-hercules-giovanni-domenico-tiepolo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eApotheosis of Hercules - Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo — Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/plattegrond-van-de-eerste-verdieping-van-het-huis-van-leon-berthous-in-bayonne-gabriel-huquier\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePlattegrond van de eerste verdieping van het huis van Léon Berthous in Bayonne - Gabriel Huquier — Gabriel Huquier\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Augustin de Saint-Aubin","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58606622146895,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58606665171279,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58606665204047,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58606665236815,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58606665269583,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58606665302351,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58606665335119,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58606665367887,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58606665400655,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58606665433423,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58606665466191,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58606665498959,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Don-Quixote-embraces-Sancho-before-the-squire-leaves-for-the-Island-of-Barataria_Poster_CompositorV1_1788128431358.jpg?v=1788129225"},{"product_id":"charles-nicolas-cochin-augustin-de-saint-aubin","title":"Charles-Nicolas Cochin - Augustin de Saint-Aubin","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined eighteenth-century portrait engraving by Augustin de Saint-Aubin, depicting the influential French academician Charles-Nicolas Cochin in profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis portrait depicts Charles-Nicolas Cochin, a figure of considerable influence within the French artistic establishment during the eighteenth century. As the Secrétaire Perpétuel of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, Cochin held a position that allowed him to shape the aesthetic direction of the period. Augustin de Saint-Aubin, a master of the graphic arts, captures his subject in profile, a format that emphasises the sitter's features and formal attire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is presented within a trompe-l'oeil oval frame, suspended by a ribbon, which rests upon a stone-effect plinth. This architectural framing device is characteristic of the period's printmaking, providing a sense of gravity and permanence to the portrait. The inscription on the plinth identifies the sitter and his titles, confirming his status as a Chevalier de l'Ordre du Roi. Saint-Aubin employs a refined technique of etching and engraving, using delicate cross-hatching to model the contours of the face and the texture of the wig.

The narrative moment captures the protagonist in a state of delusion, attacking the puppet theatre of Maese Pedro.

The work is a product of the collaboration between the draughtsman Charles-Nicolas Cochin and the engraver Augustin de Saint-Aubin.

The lettering is executed with the formal elegance characteristic of Enlightenment-era typography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaint-Aubin employs a variety of hatching techniques to model the facial features and the volume of the wig.

This approach ensures that the focus remains on the individual, while the surrounding elements maintain a sense of balance and order. The print reflects the refined aesthetic of the French court, where portraiture functioned as a means of documenting status and professional identity. The collaboration between Cochin and Saint-Aubin was frequent, and this piece demonstrates their shared commitment to clarity and formal rigour.

Executed by Augustin de Saint-Aubin in 1762, the work is based on a drawing by Charles-Nicolas Cochin. The composition follows the tradition of the medallion portrait, a format popularised during the Enlightenment for its clarity and focus on the sitter's profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaint-Aubin employs precise etching and engraving techniques to render the subject. The profile view captures the sitter with a sense of formal dignity, typical of the period's aristocratic portraiture. The use of hatching and cross-hatching creates subtle gradations of tone, defining the contours of the face and the texture of the powdered wig. The medallion is surmounted by a decorative ribbon, a common motif in French prints of the era, which adds a touch of lightness to the otherwise austere presentation.

This work captures a young woman in profile, rendered with the delicate precision that defined his career. Saint-Aubin often focused on the social nuances of the Parisian elite, and this study reflects the fashion and posture typical of the late eighteenth century. The subject stands in a quiet, contemplative pose, her gaze directed downward. Her attire, featuring a structured bodice and a voluminous skirt, is depicted with subtle washes of colour that suggest the texture of the fabric without overwhelming the underlying graphite lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is restrained, placing the figure against a neutral, atmospheric background that draws attention to the silhouette and the fine details of her coiffure. Saint-Aubin used a light touch, allowing the paper to breathe and maintaining a sense of spontaneity often found in his preparatory sketches. His ability to convey personality through posture and minimal facial detail is evident here, as the figure appears both poised and modest. The work provides a window into the aesthetic preferences of the period, where elegance and grace were prioritised over dramatic action. By employing a soft palette, the artist creates a harmonious image that feels both intimate and formal. This print captures the original nuances of his technique, preserving the interplay between the pencil work and the watercolour application. It is a fine example of the period's interest in capturing the fleeting nature of daily life through refined, academic drawing practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/apotheosis-of-hercules-giovanni-domenico-tiepolo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eApotheosis of Hercules - Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo — Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/madame-grand-noel-catherine-vorlee-elisabeth-louise-vigee-le-brun-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMadame Grand (Noël Catherine Vorlée) - Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun — Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Augustin de Saint-Aubin","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58607663710543,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58607671443791,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58607671476559,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58607671509327,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58607671542095,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58607671574863,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58607671607631,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58607671640399,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58607671673167,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58607671705935,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58607671738703,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58607671771471,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Standing-Young-Woman_Poster_CompositorV1_1788145123553.jpg?v=1788145835"},{"product_id":"laurent-cars-augustin-de-saint-aubin","title":"Laurent Cars - Augustin de Saint-Aubin","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined 1768 portrait engraving of Laurent Cars by Augustin de Saint-Aubin, capturing the subject in profile with characteristic eighteenth-century detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis portrait of Laurent Cars (1699-1771) is a fine example of eighteenth-century French printmaking. Augustin de Saint-Aubin, a member of a prominent family of engravers, executed this work in 1768. The composition is based on a drawing by Charles-Nicolas Cochin, whose name appears in the lower left margin. The print depicts Cars in profile, facing left, wearing a formal periwig and period attire. The subject is enclosed within a circular frame, a common convention for formal portraiture of the era, which adds a sense of order and focus to the image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe technical execution demonstrates the precision characteristic of Saint-Aubin. The use of varied line weights and cross-hatching creates a subtle modulation of light and shadow across the face and the curls of the wig. Above the circular frame, a decorative bow provides a touch of ornamentation, typical of the Rococo aesthetic. Below the portrait, the inscription identifies the subject as 'Graveur du Roy et Conseiller en son Academie de Peinture et de Sculpture', noting his professional status as an engraver to the King and a member of the Royal Academy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaurent Cars was a significant figure in the French art world, known for his reproductive engravings after paintings by artists such as François Boucher. This print serves as a record of his appearance and professional standing during the mid-eighteenth century. The clarity of the lines and the balanced composition make it a representative specimen of the period's graphic arts. It reflects the collaborative nature of print production in the eighteenth century, where a draughtsman and an engraver often worked in tandem to produce high-quality portraiture for a discerning audience of collectors and peers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/apotheosis-of-hercules-giovanni-domenico-tiepolo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eApotheosis of Hercules - Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo — Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/madame-grand-noel-catherine-vorlee-elisabeth-louise-vigee-le-brun-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMadame Grand (Noël Catherine Vorlée) - Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun — Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Augustin de Saint-Aubin","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58607668789583,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58607673213263,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58607673246031,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58607673278799,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58607673311567,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58607673344335,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58607673377103,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58607673409871,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58607673442639,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58607673475407,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58607673508175,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58607673540943,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Laurent-Cars_Poster_CompositorV1_1788145876799.jpg?v=1788146035"},{"product_id":"joseph-pellerin-augustin-de-saint-aubin","title":"Joseph Pellerin - Augustin de Saint-Aubin","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed eighteenth-century portrait engraving of the French numismatist Joseph Pellerin, captured in profile by the skilled hand of Augustin de Saint-Aubin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis portrait of Joseph Pellerin, a noted French numismatist, is a fine example of the technical precision achieved by Augustin de Saint-Aubin. Working in the eighteenth century, Saint-Aubin was a master of the burin and etching needle. His ability to render texture and light through controlled hatching is evident in the way he captures the subject's powdered wig and the fabric of his coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition follows the conventions of the period, presenting the sitter in profile within a circular frame. This format, often used for medallions or commemorative prints, allows the artist to focus on the silhouette and the specific facial features of the subject. The inclusion of a decorative bow at the top of the frame adds a touch of the ornamental style common in French printmaking of the era. The background of the medallion is dark, which pushes the profile forward and creates a clear contrast against the lighter tones of the skin and hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaint-Aubin was part of a family of engravers and designers who were active in the Parisian art scene.
