LE PAUTRE
        Vases d'Ornemens
      1992. LE PAUTRE, Jean. Vases d'Ornemens. Six etched and engraved ornamental floral plates by and after Le Pautre. Title platemark 229 x 140 mm, remaining platemarks approx. 207 x 142 mm. Loosely tipped into a large quarto blue half-morocco album. Paris: chez N. Langlois, [ca. 1665].|~||~||~||~| Outstanding impressions of the first issue of this suite of richly imaginative ornament prints by one of the masters of pure ornament design, and a creator of the Louis XIV style. The plates show ornate neo-classical vases from which emerge symmetrically scrolling foliage, arabesques, bouquets, festoons, vines, brocades, ribbons, etc. The base of the first vase bears the title; all six etchings are signed by Le Pautre with the above imprint. Two of the etchings show double vertical images of half vases, and a third shows two half vases plus three small ornamental compartments. The vases themselves are ornamented with classical and grotesque friezes, a cameo portrait, coquillages and sculpted flowers; one is supported by a pair of fantastical birds, another by a dog-like creature, a third by Bacchus; the title etching shows two putti leaning on the base and sketching a vase, while in the background three figures admire a drawing. "Einer der bedeutendsten und phantasiereichsten Ornamentstecher aller Zeiten" (Thieme-Becker), Le Pautre (1618-1682) began his career as apprentice to the cabinetmaker Adam Philippon, for whom he executed his first engravings, among the only examples of Le Pautre's vast oeuvre that were not based on his own designs. The combination of a fertile imagination and remarkable improvisational abilities - Guilmard claims that he was able to design directly on the plate - enabled him to create a huge body of work, mostly of ornament design, which consitutes a "veritable repertoire of what is called the Louis XIV style" (Bénézit), itself disseminated throughout Europe largely thanks to Le Pautre's prints. A lovely set, with brilliant dark impressions and the original imprint (erased in later issues). Inventaire du Fonds français, nos. 1992-1997. Cf. Thieme-Becker 23:96; cf. Guilmard. pp. 68-76.

What makes their discovery particularly exciting is that high art has been found in a part of the world in which, until now, it was believed no art had ever been created. The ceremonial objects brought together here are extraordinary, and Peter Beard's photographs of them are in themselves works of art.
