Gabriel Perelle,
(1604 - 1677)An eminent French
designer and engraver, Gabriel Perelle
received instructions in painting,
etching and engraving from Daniel
Rabel. His first published etchings
bear the date of 1635. For the
following thirty years Perelle created
a large number of superbly crafted
etchings of landscapes and views.
Gabriel Perelle's last etchings date
from around 1665. After that time he
was commissioned by the King of France
to draw maps and military plans.
Although he engraved
designs after the work of other
masters, such as, Poussin, Paul Bril,
Asselyn and Silvestre, most of
Perelle's graphic oeuvre (including
this original example) was both
designed and engraved by his hand. And
interestingly, even with his
topographical views, Perelle frequently
embellished his compositions with
imaginary ruins and other objects. Thus
Perelle's etched views are also Utopian
landscapes of the mind.

VIVARES, (1709-1780) £135 some age
toning. Published 1785 by John Boydell,
London** As this item is framed it
would need to go to the USA minus
glass
One of the earliest
and most influential landscape
engravers was Francois Vivares. Vivares
was born in France and raised in
Geneva, but at the age of eighteen
established himself in London. He
exhibited regularly with the
Incorporated Society of Artists and was
highly regarded for his meticulous
technique and bold style. Vivares is
considered the father of English
landscape engraving, his fine work
inspiring generations of English
engravers. Like Smith of Derby, Vivares
was instrumental in introducing the
concept of the "picturesque landscape"
into English art. His magnificent
engravings captured the golden age of
the English countryside, before it was
forever changed by the factories and
mills of the Industrial Revolution.
This magnificent print is a wonderful
example of Vivares' unique
style.
Gaspard
Poussin; real name Gaspard Dughet
(b.1615 d.1675). An Italian-French
landscape painter. Dughet was a pupil
of Nicolas Poussin, the French painter
who married his sister. Dughet trained
in Poussin's studio between 1630-5. The
dates of Dughet's work, with the
exception of his frescoes on the
History of the Carmelite Order, are not
verified and chronologies of his
development as a painter are based on
stylistic commentary.

Bartolomeo Pinelli (Italian,
1781-1835)
Now largely forgotten,
Bartolomeo Pinelli (1781-1835) was one
of Ottocento Italy's most popular
draftsmen. Living and working primarily
in Rome, Pinelli studied at the
Accademia di San Luca in Rome and at
the Accademia di Belle Arti in Bologna,
where he was supported financially by
the nephew of Pope Benedict
XIV.[i] Largely eschewing
painting in favor of the more immediate
and intimate medium of drawing, Pinelli
associated himself with the vedutisti,
who painted Roman views primarily for a
foreign market of tourists and
Italophiles.[ii] Perhaps due to
his largely touristical customer base,
Pinelli's drawings of Roman life focus
on everyday bucolic happenings. He is
quick to include indicators of real
sites and real people and nearly all of
his drawings were done from life.
