Description
Veduta tratta dal celebre "A Select Collection of Views And Ruins in Rome And Its Vicinity: Recently Executed From Drawings Made Upon the Spot".
Splendido e ricercato libro di vedute sulle rovine romane stampato per la prima volta, in due parti, nel 1797-99 e impreziosito da 62 belle tavole all’acquatinta tratte da disegni dal vero realizzati nel 1791. Le tavole sono datate dal 1796 al 1798. Il nome dell’incisore, Merigot, è riportato solo sulla tavola n. 23, raffigurante il sepolcro di Cecilia Metella, mentre su tutte le altre, in basso, compare l'indirizzo di Merigot come editore, spesso in associazione con Edwards, e date comprese dal 1796 al 1798.
Acquatinta, in buono stato di conservazione.
James John MERIGOT (1760-1824)
|
Specialist in 'manière de lavis' and later aquatint. His biography has to be reconstructed. According to the titlepage of 'Promenade ou Itinéraire des jardins d'Ermenonville' of 1788, he was the son of a Mérigot who was a bookseller in the boulevard Saint-Martin. He calls himself there Mérigot fils, 'peintre et graveur', and gives an address at rue basse du Rempart no.13. In 1790 he was publishing prints at Quai des Augustins, rue Pavée 38. At some undetermined point he emigrated to London where he signed plates J.Merigot.
(an 1806 aquatint after Pugin is inscribed M. Merigot. This is assumed to be the same man until further information comes to light)
