On October 14, 1840 The Times of London carried the following notice: "There is at present, in the possession of Mrs. Parker of Golden Square, a copy of Macklin's Bible in forty-five large volumes, illustrated with nearly 7000 engravings from the age of Michael Angelo to that of Reynolds and West. The work also contains about 200 original drawings or vignettes by Loutherbourg. The prints and etchings include the works of Raffaelle, Marc Antonio, Albert Durer, Callot, Rembrandt, and other masters, consisting of representations of nearly every fact, circumstance, and object mentioned in the Holy Scriptures. There are, moreover, designs of trees, plants, flowers, quadrupeds, birds, fishes, and insects; such as, besides fossils, have been adduced in proof of the universal Deluge. The most authentic Scripture atlasses are bound up with the volumes. The Bible was the property of the late Mr. Bowyer the publisher, who collected and arranged the engravings, etchings, and drawings at great expense and labour; and he is said to have been engaged for upwards of thirty years in rendering it perfect. It was insured at the Albion Insurance Office for £3000." The Bowyer Bible is now in the Bolton Museum, Lancashire, England.

Robert Bowyer (1758-1834) was a miniature-painter and print-publisher, proprietor of the Historic Gallery illustrating Hume's History (founded 1792, collapsed 1807). He also produced the grangerised edition of the Macklin Bible referred to as The Bowyer Bible (1791-5). Thomas Macklin (c.1760 - 1800) was a printseller and publisher. He began his series of “British Poets” in 1787, and the “Macklin Bible” in 1790. According to the Dictionary of National Biography, "[t]he Macklin Bible endures as the most ambitious edition produced in Britain, often pirated but never rivalled."

On the left the archangel Gabriel approaches the praying Virgin Mary in her bedchamber. Over her head is a dove representing the Holy Spirit, and in the sky above a figure of God the Father. A woodcut made by Albrecht Dürer. German. 1510. This print (without text) is from a series of 37 woodcuts by Dürer (“The Small Passion”). It is signed on the block. Dimensions: height: 125 millimetres; width: 96 millimetres. The original woodblock is in the British Museum, London. Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) was born in Nuremberg, the son of a successful Hungarian goldsmith. His godfather was Anton Koberger, the leading German publisher of his day, whose best-selling Nuremberg Chronicle of 1494 contained illustrations designed by the painter Michel Wolgemut, with whom Dürer served three years of apprenticeship from 1486-9. During the second half of the 1490s he visited northern Italy, where the works of artists such as Andrea Mantegna and Giovanni Bellini had a powerful effect on his artistic development. In 1495, Dürer opened his own workshop in Nuremberg, a wealthy centre of trade which was situated at a focal point within the Holy Roman Empire. He took the radical step of producing high quality prints for an open market, and the first edition of his famous Apocalypse series of woodcuts was published in 1498. Dürer's paintings also display a deep interest in new subjects and Renaissance ideas, particularly his self-portraits of the late 1490s. From 1505 to 1507 he visited Italy again and from 1507 to 1512 he worked on numerous paintings and “The Engraved Passion”. The woodcut series of “The Life of the Virgin”, “The Great Passion” and “The Little Passion” were published in 1511. Dürer's re-vitalisation of printmaking techniques caught the attention of the circle of humanist scholars in Nuremberg, who informed him on the literature and ideals of the Italian Renaissance and advised on subjects that would appeal to the educated élite. His achievements as a printmaker played a key role in the choice of the woodcut medium by the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I for his colossal commemorative projects. From 1520-1521 he travelled in the Netherlands. In later years, he worked on the publication of his ideas on art theory in the “Treatise on Measurement” (1525), “Treatise on Fortification”(1527), and “Four books on Human Proportion” (1528).

DETAIL OF DRAWING FOR THE HEAD-PIECE VIGNETTE TO

THE EPISTLE TO THE HEBREWS The vignette shows the Christ-child in rays of light emanating from clouds carrying a branch and with a halo of stars, winged cherub heads surrounding. In the print derived from the drawing by De Loutherbourg the engraving is accompanied by letterpress in two columns below and on verso and is lettered below the image with production details: "P J de Loutherbourg Invt et del", "J Heath dirt." and publication line: "Published by T Macklin, July 1 1800". Print made by James Heath. Dimensions: height: 490 mms; width: 390 mms. The Macklin Bible had 72 prints, 22 of which were by Philippe Jacques De Loutherbourg (1740-1812). His interest in the occult and study of Hebrew influenced some of these pictures and the approximately seventy-one vignettes that he produced over the next ten years. During this time, Loutherbourg became a scholarly recluse, extending his knowledge of the Kabbalah and studying his library of rare religious books. Bowyer had De Loutherbourg’s original drawings pasted into his grangerised copy of Macklin’s Bible. (For a complete inventory of De Loutherbourg’s contribution to the Bowyer Bible see Appendix 1.) James Heath (1757–1834) was an engraver, founder of family dynasty, and father of Charles. Bibliography: John Heath, “The Heath Family Engravers” 1993.

THE ANGEL APPEARING TO THE SHEPHERDS

Page 17: The Bowyer Bible

An etching by Rembrandt with dry-point, burin and sulphur tint, here in its finished state. Three states are extant. Dated (from II) 1634. Berlin has III, Amsterdam III, London I and III. Dimension: height 262 mms; width 218 mms.

Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn (1606 - 1669) was a painter of portraits, landscapes and historical and biblical subjects, and an etcher. He was born in Leiden the son of a mill-owner; in 1620 after completing his tuition at the Leiden Latin School he enrolled at Leiden University; then he began a three-year apprenticeship in Leiden to a minor painter Jacob Isaacz Swanenburgh. From 1624 to 1625 he was a pupil of Pieter Lastman, a leading painter in Amsterdam, for about six months, after which he set himself up as an independent painter in Leiden and worked closely with Jan Lievens. In or around 1631 he settled permanently in Amsterdam. During 1633-9 he produced a series of six paintings depicting Christ's Passion for the head of state, Prince Frederik Hendrik of Orange (now in the Alte Pinakothek, Munich). He married Saskia van Uylenburgh in 1634; in 1649 Hendrickje Stoffels entered his household as a servant and they had a child, Cornelia, together. In 1656-8 his assets, art collection, and home were sold to pay off his creditors. He died in 1659. There are only a few print cycles in Rembrandt’s œuvre. However, in 1654, he made two etched series of Biblical scenes: a Passion, and a series of five or six sheets from the Childhood of Jesus. There is only a loose connection between individual scenes within each of the series, and each print can stand as a work in its own right.

Page 21: The Bowyer Bible

In a barn the shepherds gather around the manger and the Virgin lifts up the sheet to give them a clearer view; a large classical column at right suggests a location in a humble outhouse to the main building. An engraving after Abraham Bloemaert. The print was made by Jacob Matham and published by Jacques Razet. 1597 (circa). School: Netherlandish. Inscription Content: Lettered below in the design "Abrahamus Blommaert Inuentor,/Matham sculp" and with the signature of Jacques Razet. Dimensions: height: 228 mms; width: 292 mms. There is a related drawing incised for transfer in the Abrams collection (see W. Robinson, “Bruegel to Rembrandt: Dutch and Flemish drawings from the Maida and George Abrams collection”, exhibition catalogue 2002-3, no. 26).

Abraham Bloemaert (1564–1651) was a genre, portrait and history painter, and an etcher and engraver. Born at Dordrecht, he died in Utrecht. He was the son of Cornelis Bloemaert and a pupil of Joost de Beer in Utrecht. In 1580–83 he was a pupil of H. Francken in Paris. In 1591–92 he was in Amsterdam. He was also known as Abraham Bloemaart. Bibliography: Marcel Roethlisberger and Marten Jan Bok, “Abraham Bloemaert and his Sons”, 2 vols, 1993 (catalogue of the paintings and prints). Jacob Matham (1571-1631) was an engraver and publisher based in Haarlem. He was a pupil and the stepson of Goltzius (see “Rest on the Flight into Egypt” below), who had married Matham’s mother in 1579. He was in Italy 1593–7.

Simeon stands holding the infant Jesus, looking up and thanking God in the “Nunc Dimittis”. Joseph kneels in front of him, beside a basket with two turtle doves. The Virgin stands to the right with St. Anne just behind her (Luke 2:22, 28). A print made by William Bromley after John Opie. School: British. This is one of the plates in the Macklin Bible. It was also published separately in London in 1795. In the latter lettering below the image tells us that “J. Opie R.A. pinxt./W. Bromley sculpt./London, Publish'd March 25. 1795, by Thos. Macklin, Poets Gallery, Fleet Street.”. An etching and engraving. Dimensions: height: 307 millimetres (image); width: 257 millimetres (image). John Opie (1761–1807) was a British painter (mainly portraits) and draughtsman and a member Royal Academy. Opie produced paintings for seven of the plates in Macklin’s Bible (see below). William Bromley (1769–1842) was a painter, line engraver, etcher, occasional mezzotinter, and publisher. He exhibited his engravings at the Royal Academy 1786–1842. He was the father of John Charles, Frederick and Clough Bromley. He worked in London. Bibliography: R K Engen, “Dictionary of Victorian Engravers, Print Publishers and Their Works”, 1979. Thomas Macklin (1752/3–1800) is most famous for his Poet's Gallery. He planned to commission 100 paintings illustrating famous English poems. However, the war with France cut into his profits, as prints could not be traded across the channel, and his partner, Edward Rogers, died. Just two years after beginning the Poet's Gallery, Macklin undertook to publish an illustrated folio Bible in multiple volumes to promote "'the glory of the English school” of painting and engraving and “the interest of our HOLY RELIGION”. A new typeface and a new kind of paper were designed and the finished Bible had 72 prints. Many of the same artists who participated in the Poet's Gallery worked on the Bible project. 703 people signed the subscription list, including George III. Macklin's Bible was expensive to produce: the total cost was estimated at £30,000. To realize this project, he was forced to sell some of the paintings from the Poet's Gallery by lottery in 1797. Macklin died in 1800, just five days after the last large engraving was finished for the Bible.

The three Kings bring gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to the Christ-child sitting on the lap of the Virgin. One of the Kings, his crown and sceptre on the ground besides an ammonite-shaped vessel, kneels down and kisses the hand of Jesus. An engraving made by Jan Sadeler I after Marten de Vos. 1581. Flemish school. Lettered below left: "M.DE. VOS I 1581" and at right "ISADLER.FE:/Cum grat: et Pri: S.C.M". Dimensions: height: 190 millimetres; width: 130 millimetres. One of a series on the childhood of Christ. Marten de Vos (1532–1603) was a painter and draughtsman. He was a pupil of Pieter de Vos, a follower of Frans Floris in Antwerp and of Jacopo Tintoretto in Venice. During c. 1552-1556/58 he was in Italy, where he visited Rome, Venice and possibly Florence. In 1558 he was a master in the Antwerp Guild of St. Luke. By 1571 he was dean of the Guild. He is documented as a Lutheran in 1584, adapting to the prevailing Catholicism in 1585. Apart from his sons Daniel and Maarten the Younger, eleven pupils were registered with the Guild of whom only Wenzel Coeberger is well known. He was also known as Maarten de Vos. Jan Sadeler I (1550–1600?) was an engraver and publisher, eldest of three brothers (with Aegidius I and Raphael I). Originally in Antwerp, c.1579 he moved to Cologne and was also active in Mainz, Frankfurt and Munich. He left Munich in 1595 and went to Verona, then moved to Venice with his brother Raphael in 1596/7. He received the imperial privilege in 1581 and this was renewed 1593. The papal privilege was granted c.1598. Sadeler's unclear signature has led Hollstein to attribute some of his prints to the non- existent “J. Haeyler”. Also was also known as Johannes Sadeler. Bibliography: Isabelle de Ramaix in “Le livre et l'estampe”, XXXV 1989 pp.7-46 examines new documents on the family and its genealogy.

The foster-father of Jesus is seated at a table at right, sleeping; the angel appears at left; in the background, at right, the Virgin, kneels and reads a book. This etching and engraving made by Francesco Polanzani after Jacques Stella (formerly attributed to Nicolas Poussin). 1756. School: Italian. Dimensions: height: 325 millimetres; width: 227 millimetres. Jacques Stella (1596–1657) was a painter and engraver in the circle of Poussin. He was in Rome 1623-34, then in Paris. Bibliography: S. Laveissière & L. Widerkehr, 'JS', Lyon, Musée des Beaux-Arts, 2006. Francesco Polanzani (1700–after 1783) was an engraver in Rome. His baptismal name was Francesco, but he seems always to have been called Felice. This is Plate 8 from a series of twenty-two plates depicting the life of the Virgin. The habitual attribution of the compositions to Poussin has now been generally rejected. Jacques Stella is now considered to be the actual designer of the set: Claudine Bouzonnet-Stella's will (1697) mentions a series of twenty-two drawings on the life of the Virgin executed by her uncle. Many of the original drawings survive: one for 'Pentecost' is now in the British Museum. A later edition of this set was published under the title 'La Vita della gran Madre di Dio' by Venanzio Monaldini in 1783.

The Virgin sit on the ground with the Christ-child in her lap, holding a water bottle on a chain. Meanwhile, St Joseph adjusts the saddle on the donkey at right under the shade of a tree. A path winds round the base of a hill and a river flows in background at left. This engraving was made by Jacob Matham after Hendrik Goltzius. 1589. School: Dutch. The print is signed and dated in the lower centre: "HGoltzius Inuent. Ao.1589". Dimensions: height: 210 millimetres; width: 158 millimetres. There is a related drawing by Goltzius in Berlin. Hendrik Goltzius (1558–1617) was a painter, engraver and publisher in Haarlem between about 1582 and 1598. He established his own business in 1582, and for the next six years held a monopoly in the northern Netherlands on publishing designs by contemporary artists. Between 1586 and 1590 his print-publishing activities blossomed and he travelled to Italy in 1590-91, leaving his stepson Jacob Matham and Jan Saenredam in charge of the business. Around 1598 he handed over all his engraving and publishing activities to Matham. Goltzius gave up the business of printmaking completely after 1598 to concentrate on painting until his death in 1617. Bibliography: exhibition catalogues from the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, the Metropolitan Museum of Art New York and Toledo Museum of Art Ohio (2003). Jacob Matham (1571–1631) was an engraver and publisher in Haarlem who married mother of Goltzius in 1579. He was in Italy 1593-7. After taking over the Goltzius shop in Haarlem around 1600 he received his own privilege from Prague in 1601. Prints after Goltzius in the Bowyer Bible:- Volume 01: 0024 Creation of Heaven and Earth.

DETAIL OF VIGNETTE ENGRAVED AS A HEAD-PIECE TO MATTHEW

This detail of a vignette by De Loutherbourg for Macklin’s Bible shows the infant Christ in a cradle stroking the lamb of sacrifice at right and holding the palm of martyrdom. A dying serpent representing Satan coils around a cross with the superscription 'I N R I' at left. On the page there is letterpress in two columns below and on verso, and the engraving is lettered below the image with production details: "P.J. de Loutherbourg RA invt.", "J. Heath direxit". As with the Headpiece to Hebrews, the print was made by James Heath. Dimensions: Height: 487 millimetres; width: 395 millimetres.

De Loutherbourg’s work as an illustrator also included, apart from Macklin’s Bible, plates for John Bell’s edition of Shakespeare (1786–88) and Bowyer’s edition of “The History of England by David Hume” (1806). Late in life, he published two collections of engravings, “The Picturesque Scenery of Great Britain” (1801) and “The Picturesque and Romantic Scenery of England and Wales” (1805). His reputation remains primarily in the field of romantic landscape, and his painting “Coalbrookdale by Night” is much reproduced.

The infant John the Baptist is shown whole-length seated to the right, holding a cup to a waterfall with a lamb beside him to right. It is in fact a portrait of Master Watkin Williams Wynn, son of Sir Watkin Williams Wynn Bart. This mezzotint was made by John Dean after Sir Joshua Reynolds. School: British. Dimensions: height: 171 millimetres; width: 250 millimetres. Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723–1792) was the founder and first President of the Royal Academy of Arts in 1768, to which he gave his lectures published as his 'Discourses'. He was an important collector of Old Master drawings, and many of these are now held in the British Museum.

CHRIST AMONG THE DOCTORS

Page 39: The Bowyer Bible

39

This print is after a work – “Gesu Christo disputandi co Dottori” – by Luini which, when engraved, was believed to be by Leonardo. The painting is in the National Gallery in London. Bernardino Luini (1480/1485–1532 before) was a painter from Lago Maggiore (“Luini”), Milan. The renowned Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519), painter, inventor, sculptor, engineer etc., was born in Vinci in 1452 and died at Amboise in 1519. Having trained under Verrocchio in Florence he was in Milan 1483-99, in Florence 1499 to 1506, and then returned to Milan. He was mainly in Rome during 1513-6, then went to France in 1517 where he died. Bibliography: Kenneth Clark, 'Leonardo da Vinci: an Account of His Development as an Artist'. Cambridge, 1939. There is one other print after Luini (and none after da Vinci) in the Bowyer Bible: Volume 34: 4570 The Virgin and child

Page 41: The Bowyer Bible

John the Baptist sits on a rock by a stream holding a dish; to the left, a reed cross and ray of divine light symbolise his ministry; to the right, lamb (representin Christ) drinks from the water. The mountainous landscape of the wilderness is seen beyond. This engraving was made by Antonius Wierix after Jan van der Straet and published by Philips Galle in Antwerp before 1604. Inscriptions: lettered within the image: “Ioan. Stradanus inven./Phls Galle excud.” Dimensions: height: 234 millimetres (image size); width: 180 millimetres. Jan van der Straet (1523–1605) was a designer of prints and tapestries, mostly known as Joannes Stradanus. Born in Bruges in 1532, he received early instruction from his father Jan van der Straet (who died in 1535) and after for two years from Maximillian Franck. During 1537-40 he trained in Antwerp under Pieter Aertsen, and in c.1545 became a master in that city and in the same year travelled to Italy via Lyon, where he worked with Corneille de Lyon. During his first stay in Florence (1546-50) he designed tapestries for Cosimo de' Medici's factory, the Arazzeria Medicea. During 1550-3 he was probably in Rome where he collaborated with Daniele da Volterra in the Belvedere. Back in Florence he made independent tapestry designs and from 1557 onwards worked under Giorgio Vasari's supervision on the decoration of the Palazzo Vecchio. In 1563 and again in 1586 and 1591 he was an officer of the Accademia del Disegno, and painted altar-pieces for several Florentine churches. In 1578 he designed two series of 'Hunting Scenes' engraved by Philip Galle, later republished as one series in c.1596. He worked too in Naples on frescoes and easel paintings. He retired in1602 from the duties of the Accademia del Disegno and died in Florence in 1605. Also known as Giovanni della Strada; Jan van der Straeten; Giovanni Statenensis; Giovanni Stradano; Joannes Stradanus; Johannes Stradanus. Bibliography: Alessandra Baroni Vannucci, “JvdS, detto Giovanni Stradano”, Milan/Rome 1997 (with a catalogue of all the paintings, drawings and prints made after his designs). Antonius Wierix (1555/1559–1604) was one of three brothers, all engravers in Antwerp. He had a father and a son with the same name, but this Antonius is by far the best known of the three. Philips Galle (1537–1612) was a leading engraver and print dealer based in Antwerp. Born in 1537 in Haarlem, he moved to Antwerp in 1569 where he worked in the workshop of Hieronymus Cock. After 1557 he started his own publishing and print business, for which he travelled extensively: in 1560-61 he visited the southern Netherlands, France, Germany and Italy. After 1564 he settled in Antwerp. He was one of the most prolific publishers in Europe in the second half of the sixteenth century. He was also known as Philippe Galle and Philippus Gallaeus.

BOWYER BIBLE VOLUME 32 PRINT 4239. CHRIST IS BAPTISED

Page 45: The Bowyer Bible

45

The Baptism of Christ is depicted, with angels at right and men removing their clothes at left. A reproduction of the fresco by Giovanni Francesco Penni in the 13th arcade of the Vatican Logge (often referred-to as “Raphael’s Bible”). Date: around 1518. School: Roman. Dimensions of print: height: 197 millimetres; width: 385 millimetres. For a long time the fresco was believed to be by Giulio Romano but scholars are now convinced that it was by Penni. The British Museum has a related pen and brown ink drawing which is inscribed on the back "Stupendo Disegno di propria mano di Raffaèle d'Urbino dipinto in Roma nelle loggiè Vaticane" and Bowyer himself would have no doubt regarded the fresco as by Raphael. Giovanni Francesco Penni (c.1488–c.1528) was a painter. Known as “il Fattore”, he was born in Florence, and died in Naples, c. 1528, aged forty (according to Vasari). Archival evidence, however, gives 1496 as his birth-date and the style of his later drawings does indeed postulate a death-date not much before 1536. Vasari says that he helped Raphael in, among other things, the tapestry cartoons (1515-16), the “Psyche loggia” in the Farnesina (1518) and the “Vatican Logge” (finished 1519). He collaborated with Giulio Romano in painting, between 1520 and 1524, the “Monteluce Coronation” (Vatican Gallery) and the Sala di Costantino; also in a copy (in the Prado), which he finished somewhat later, alone, of Raphael's “Transfiguration”. A signed portrait of a young man is in the National Gallery, Dublin. Bibliography: D. Colnaghi, “A Dictionary of Florentine Painters”, London, 1928, p. 202; For other possible prints after Penni in the Bowyer Bible see the list of prints after “Raphael” below.

Christ is tempted by Satan. The engraved drawing was by Jacob de Wit after Peter Paul Rubens. 1711-12. School: Dutch. This print is from a group of 36 drawings after Peter Paul Rubens' ceiling panels in the Jesuit Church, Antwerp, for engraving and publication by Jan Punt. Dimensions: height: 340 millimetres; width: 403 millimetres. Jacob de Wit (1695–1754) was a painter, draughtsman and etcher. He was born and died in Amsterdam. In 1708 he was in Antwerp; in 1714 a Master in Antwerp. Between c. 1711 and 1712 he drew the 36 paintings by Rubens at the Jesuit Church and etched ten of these before returning to Amsterdam. He was also known as Jean Baptiste de Wit. Other prints from this series in the Bowyer Bible:- Volume 03: 0367 Melchizedek

Christ is served by angels. Jesus is seen seated under a large rock with angels serving him with trays filled with food and drinks. He blesses the food. To the right, angels are seen arriving from the sky with more trays; animals, including a porcupine, can be seen in the foreground eating the crumbs. This engraving was made by Hieronymus Wierix after Bernardino Passeri. Published in Antwerp in 1563 it is from Nadal’s “Evangelicae Historiae Imagines” (see below) . It is signed on plate with initials: “Bern. Pass. Rom. Invent” and “Hieronymus W. fecit”. Dimensions: height 175 mms; width 142 mms. Of the 153 plates of the “Evangelicae Historiae Imagines” 20 were done by printmakers other than Wierix. The inscriptions in the margins and the numbers have been trimmed off. Bernardino Passeri (fl. 1577–1585) was a painter, designer, engraver and print publisher. He was active in Rome. He designed for prints, as for the 50 plates of the life of St Benedict engraved by Aliprando Caprioli and published in Rome in 1579. He also executed plates himself, as in the 1583 financing agreement with the Fleming Anastasius Ariges to produce 35 religious prints. He was also known as Bernardo Passaro and Bernardus Passerus.

Volume 41: 5767 The cloven tongues. Acts 2:1-4 Jerónimo Nadal (1507–1580), a Spaniard from Majorca, was one of the first ten members of the Society of Jesus (a.k.a. the Jesuits). For many years he served as the personal representative or "delegate" of the founder, St. Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556), in visiting Jesuit houses throughout Europe, especially to explain and implement the Constitutions of the Society of Jesus. Ignatius himself urged Nadal to compile and distribute an illustrated guide for prayerful meditation on the Gospels, in the tradition of the Spiritual Exercises, although the work was not completed until after both men had died. Nadal selected the biblical scenes to be included, commissioned and directed the layout of the illustrations, and composed notes to accompany each scene. With the cooperation and support of Antwerp publishers Christophe Plantin and Martinus Nutius, 153 engravings were eventually produced by Bernardino Passeri, Marten de Vos, and Jerome and Anton Wierix. In 1593 these illustrations were published in a volume entitled Evangelicae Historiae Imagines ("Illustrations of the Gospel Stories"), arranged in chronological order of the life and ministry of Jesus. In 1594 and 1595 they were again published in larger volumes, entitled Adnotationes et Meditationes in Evangelia ("Notes and Meditations on the Gospels"), with more extensive accompanying text, and rearranged according to the order of readings used in the liturgical year, as prescribed in the Roman Missal.

BOWYER BIBLE VOLUME 38 PRINT 5286. THE WEDDING AT CANA

Page 55: The Bowyer Bible

55

A representation the marriage-feast at Cana at which Jesus turned water into wine. Christ, radiating light, sits at a long table with various guests; a series of steps lead up to the table and the room is flanked by columns. In the foreground are a number of servants, including one pouring wine into another container, one climbing the steps and another waiting on the sidelines at right with a dish of food. This engraving was made by Jacob Matham (see above) after Taddeo Zuccaro. Published in Haarlem by Robert de Boudous. 1616. School: Netherlandish. The print is lettered below centre on a scroll: "Ioh, 2 NUPTIÆ IN CANA GALILEÆ./Taddeo, Zucchero, inu, I. Mattham sculp./Robb. de Baudous excudit, 1617". The print appears to be a reproduction of a fresco, but the location of the original painting is obscure. Dimensions: height: 296 millimetres; width: 405 millimetres. Taddeo Zuccaro (1529–1566) was a painter who worked in Rome. He was born in S. Angelo in Vado (in the Roman Marches) in 1529, and died in Rome in 1566. The fragmentary nature of his work-record, and style-shifts reflecting the artistic developments of the period have aroused some fascination among art-historians. He came to Rome at the age of 14, where he principally trained himself by copying earlier masters. His recorded work before 1553 has disappeared, and his early development can be reconstructed only from drawings. The influence of Correggio and Parmigianino is discernible in some of his drawings of c. 1550 and in some of his earliest surviving paintings. Until c. 1551 Zuccaro seems to have been chiefly occupied with façade decorations in the manner of Polidoro. During 1550-1 he was employed on minor commissions for Pope Julius III. In 1551 he was in Urbino. He returned to Rome in 1553 and between 1553 and 1555 collaborated with Prospero Fontana on the decoration of Villa Giulia. During 1553-6 Zuccaro worked on S. M. della Consolazione, Mattei Chapel, executing scenes of the Passion in an exaggeratedly Mannerist style derived from Francesco Salviati and Tibaldi. After various minor papal commissions he returned to Urbino in 1560 to paint portrait of Virginia della Rovere, daughter of Duke Guidobaldo II. Vasari states that Zuccaro had returned to Rome and was at work in SS. Trinità dei Monti in 1566. The evidence of drawings establishes that he received the original commission for the high altarpiece in S. Lorenzo in Damaso, probably not long before his death. Federico completed this and other commissions were left unfinished. He was also known as Taddeo Zuccari. Bibliography: J.A. Gere, “The Decoration of the Villa Giulia”, Burlington, cvii, (1965), pp. 199ff.; “Two of Taddeo Zuccaro's last commissions, completed by Federico Zuccaro”, Burlington, cviii (1966), pp. 286ff., and pp. 341ff.; Louvre Exhibtion: “Taddeo Zuccaro: his Development studied in his Drawings.” 1969.

THE MIRACULOUS DRAUGHT OF FISHES

Page 57: The Bowyer Bible

57

Christ sits in the boat at left, with five men accompanying him and drawing fish from the water; etched and engraved after a drawing by Raphael. Published by John Bowles in London c. 1721. School: Italian. Dimensions: height: 357 mms; width: 432 mms. From a series of eight plates (a title and seven scenes) reproducing the cartoons executed by Raphael for a series of tapestries for the Sistine Chapel, commissioned by Pope Leo X. (The cartoons are now in the Victoria & Albert Museum.) This is Plate 4. The title-plate, by Chaperon – “Fame

Crowning Raphael” – is found in the Bowyer Bible as print 5 in Volume 1.

Raphael (1483 – 1520) was at the peak of his reputation while Bowyer was interleaving his Bible, and he was not displaced in Britain until the Pre-Raphaelite movement of the later nineteenth century. It is therefore no surprise to find so many prints relating to him in the Bowyer Bible.
