Here are some highlights:
LOUIS MARIN BONNET
Paris 1736 – 1793 Paris Bonnet was a leading exponent of two-colour and three-colour crayon engraving in Paris, and the inventor of the pastel engraving technique which required a greater number of plates.He published the method in a manual, entitled Le Pastel en gravure, invented and executed by Louis Bonnet. One of his specialities was to print gold imitation frames around his pastel engravings; these prints he usually signed as L. Marin, rather than as Bonnet, as in Provoking Fidelity.
Provoking Fidelity
Colour pastel engraving, 1775, after the painting by Marc Antoine Parelle1766 (incidentally sold this year at Sotheby’s).With the title in English and published by Francis Vivares in London where French art was fashionable. £850
WILLIAM LIONEL WYLLIE R.A., R.E. London 1851 – 1931 London
A marine artist, par excellence, Wyllie was also personally a keen sailor. He was Marine Painter to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, Ryde. Wyllie took up etching when Robert Dunthorne commissioned him for a print of the artist’s painting Toil, Glitter, Grime and Wealth, exhibited at the R.A. in 1883. From 1907 he increasingly used drypoint , and occasionally in later years, aquatint, to achieve atmospheric tonal effects. In the Temple of Poseiden, through selective wiping of the plate, he has ‘spotlighted’ the temple in the sun created white highlights on the sails and flying gulls.
Temple of Poseidon, Attica
Original aquatint and drypoint, later 1920’s. Signed in pencil. £650 The Temple of Poseidon, at the southernmost point of the Sounio peninsular, lies within a later fort that protects the coast of Attica. The ancient temple was built in 440 BC, and many of its original Doric columns have survived. Lord Byron carved his name in the marble of one of these columns.
