Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Catalogue of an Exhibition of Portraits William Faithorne´s engravings possess a deep interest for the student and for the amateur. His portraits of the notabilities of his own time have power, individuality, and character, in addition to a technique which adapts itself with equal readiness to the most varied types - rugged and strong in the portrayal of the figure and features of a Cromwell, or rich, soft, and delicate in reflecting the fair face or the texture of the gown of one of the court beauties of Charles II.´s time. Scarcely less interesting are the examples of his genius as shown in the title-pages and frontispieces, religious, secular, or classical in subject, which he drew for the books of his day. This, the first loan collection ever made of his works in America, is not complete, but contains enough early states, many of them very rare, to make plain to the connoisseur the reasons for the high rank which he holds among engravers, and to permit his art to be studied in all of its varied and brilliant manifestations.
