Description
An 18th-century illustration that reproduces, on a smaller scale, the model of a perspective of the Pantheon originally engraved by Nicolas Beatrizet for the publisher Antonio Lafréri.
From Jean-Baptiste Labat, Voyages du P. Labat de l’ordre des FF. Precheurs, en Espagne et en Italie, 1730.
A Dominican friar who had taught mathematics and philosophy in Nancy, Father Labat set sail from La Rochelle in 1693 to join the missions in Martinique and, subsequently, Guadeloupe.
After spending more than a decade in the West Indies—where he made a successful contribution to the development of the islands—Father Labat returned to Europe in 1705 with the intention of recruiting fellow friars to carry on his work. He spent several months in Cádiz and Andalusia before his superiors summoned him to Bologna in 1706 to report on his mission; they subsequently kept him in Rome until 1709, and then in Civitavecchia until 1716.
Etching, very good condition.
