Façade with Caryatids
Engraving, 298 x 230 mm., Bartsch 538, ex collection: the Reverend J. Burleigh James (Lugt 1425). Fine, early impression on laid paper, the image coming through verso as in the earliest Marcantonio impressions, trimmed within the plate mark on the topmost and bottommost engraved lines and outside the image at the sides; a tiny nick at the bottom. This supposed architectural image is made even stranger by the appearance of the two figures in the doorway whose comparative size shows the caryatids to be enormous and the bust on the second tier even more gigantic. One wonders if the artist actually saw something on this scale or if he was enhancing the antique to a monumentality it may never have had. An intriguing print and, apparently, a rare one, as no other impression has been seen at public sale for at least twenty years.
