Buy ENGRAVING FIGURES OF THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT. JOHANNES LUYKEN. S.XVIII

- Intaglio engraving of figures from the Old and New Testament.
- The following inscription appears in the central part of the engraving: ‘Biblical icons. Old and New Testament. Figures from the Old and New Testament. Made and engraved by Jan Juyken'.
- The authors: Johannes Luyken (1649-1712) was a Dutch poet, painter and engraver. And Johannes Covens (1697-1774) was a Dutch geographical publisher, known for his collaboration with the publisher Cornelis Mortier. They published under a joint name, Covens & Mortier.
- A beautiful large engraving from a book called ‘Printed Representations of the Stories of the Old and New Testament’.
- In the lower margin are the identifications of the different authors, such as the draftsman, the engraver and the publisher. In this case the engraver and the draftsman are the same author.
- Intaglio etching on steel, although another technique could also have been used.
- Produced in monochrome black tone, very good ink, centred with good margins and with a good stamping.
- The fact that the engraving has a distinctive mark or contrast is of great importance in order to be able to identify data such as the engraver, the artist, the place where it was printed and other details.
