Der Bogen von Hand zugeschnitten. Das Papier etwas angeschmutzt und stellenweise fleckig. Ränder und Ecken bestoßen.; PROVENIENZ: Aus Berliner Privatbesitz.; VITA: Thomas de Leu, Leeuw, Le Leup oder Deleu (geboren 1560 in Oudenaarde, Belgien; gestorben 1612 in Paris, Frankreich) war ein französischer Kupferstecher, Verleger und Druckschriftenhändler flämischer Herkunft. Er war der Sohn eines Druckereihändlers in Oudenaarde und begann seine Karriere in Antwerpen, wo er für Jean Ditmar (ca. 1538-1603) arbeitete und von den Wierix beeinflusst wurde.Irgendwann nach 1576 und vor 1580 ging er nach Paris, um für den Maler und Kupferstecher Jean Rabel (1540/50-1603) zu arbeiten.Am 22. August 1583 heiratet er Marie Caron, die Tochter von Antoine Caron, einem der wichtigsten Maler der Zweiten Schule von Fontainebleau. Obwohl behauptet wurde, dass er damit der Schwager des Kupferstechers Léonard Gaultier war, ist dies wahrscheinlich nicht der Fall.In den Religionskriegen gelang es ihm, von der Seite der Katholischen Liga auf die von Heinrich IV. zu wechseln. Infolgedessen wurde er sehr reich, betrieb eine sehr produktive Werkstatt und gab zahlreiche Drucke anderer Künstler heraus. Zu seinen Lehrlingen gehören Jacques Honnervogt (1608-1635) und Melchior Tavernier (1594-1665). Am 22. Mai 1605 heiratet er Charlotte Bothereau. Seine Tochter Charlotte heiratet Claude Vignon (1593-1670). Sein erster datierter Kupferstich ist Justice (1579; Linzeler Nr. 57). Er schuf mehr als 300 Porträttafeln, darunter solche von Katharina von Medici (Linzeler Nr. 255) und Sir Francis Drake, sowie zahlreiche Stiche zu religiösen Themen, wie Christus im Segen (1598; Linzeler Nr. 7) und eine Folge von 25 Tafeln, die das Leben des Heiligen Franziskus darstellen. Er lieferte auch Illustrationen für Bücher.

Finely engraved title page and prints depicting the lives of hermits living in the desert as described by Hieronymus in his famous Vitae patrum. The engraved title page and prints were printed and published by Thomas de Leu or de Leeuw (1560-1612), a Flemish engraver in Paris, who probably engraved many himself. He had begun his career in Antwerp, and some of the prints signed by him ("excud[it]") also bear the NB monogram of the engraver Nicolaes de Bruyn (1571-1656) in Antwerp. The Antwerp painter Maarten de Vos (1531/32-1603) had drawn numerous hermit scenes: four series engraved, printed and published by Johannes I Sadeler (ca. 1550-ca. 1600) and his brother Raphael I Sadeler (1560-1632), who continued alone with three further series, making in total seven series containing 7 engraved title pages and 107 prints, all published at Antwerp, at least the first series in or before 1584. De Leu and De Bruyn very skillfully copied all seven series, including the title pages and captions. The present selection includes the title page of the first series Solitudo, which originally contained 29 prints, but only 16 of the present 29 prints come from that series, the other 13 are taken from series 2 Sylvae [1], 3 Trophaeum [1], 4 Oraculum, 5 Sylvae [2] and 6 Trophaeum [2].Bernard David (1824-1895) studied under Lortic and other leading Paris bookbinders before setting up on his own there. His son Salvador (d. 1929) took over the workshop in 1890. The (laid) endpapers show no watermark. With aa small marginal tear repaired, occasional minor marginal spots, and a few tiny and insignificant scuff marks on the edges of the binding. Book and binding otherwise in very good condition and with ample margins.l Hollstein XXI, pp. 147-155, nos. 377-450 & pp. 240-245, nos. 118-157 (the Sadeler eds., but noting the De Leu eds. at the end of each series); www.calcografica.it (many of the prints in these De Leu series); USTC 6000645 (3 copies); cf. for De Leu also: Benezit 6, p. 623; Thieme-Becker 23, pp. 143-144. Gold-tooled blue goatskin morocco (ca. 1890?) bound by Bernard David (or his son Salvador David) in Paris, on 5 recessed supports, each board with elegant double borders, title and date reading up the spine with decorations above and below, gold-tooled turn-ins and board edges, curl-marbled endpapers (signed with a stamp - in sans-serif capitals - in the corner of the first free endleaf "DAVID"). With an engraved allegorical title page including a 2-line quotation from Hebrews 11:37-38, and 29 engraved prints (plate size ca. 15 x 19 cm: mostly numbered, but a few unnumbered or irregularly numbered) illustrating the lives of the early Christian hermits living in the desert, 7 signed by Thomas de Leu as printer-publisher, in 2 cases accompanied by the monogram "NB" (the engraver Nicolaes de Bruyn).

Engraved portrait, oval with surrounding legend and text beneath, on laid paper (6 7/8 x 4 1/4 inches). Cut to just within platemark and inlaid into later wove paper sheet. Later ink inscription on verso reading "from Holland / 1809." Minor wear and soiling. Very good. A very early engraved portrait of Sir Francis Drake. A clean impression of the second state of this famous portrait of Sir Francis Drake at age forty-three, shortly after he returned from circumnavigating the globe, the basis for most of the later images of him. The image is taken from a portrait purportedly painted from life by Jean Rabel the Elder and is said to be a credible likeness of the famed navigator. The legend beneath the portrait indicates the dates of Drake's circumnavigation, listing Rabel as the painter and Thomas de Leu as the engraver. Thomas de Leu (1560-1612), a pupil of Rabel's, moved to Paris around 1576 and became one of the most noted portrait engravers of his time. This engraving of Drake was the basis for many later images of him, including the well-known engravings by Jodocus Hondius and Crispin van de Passe. The earliest graphic image of one of the greatest figures in maritime history. Marianne Grivel, "Au Sieur Rabel, Parangon du la 'pourtraicture'." in H. Zerner and M. Bayard's RENAISSANCE EN FRANCE (Paris, 2009), pp. 227-92 (2d state).

S.l. (Paris) ; s.d. ( after 1602 -before 1612), format oblong in-4°, print size 138 x 180 mm. Paper size 190 x 285 mm. The suite consists of an engraved title + engraved frontispiece + 24 plates (numbered 2 - 25). Bound in modern imitation leather. Some plates with faint waterstains or dust soiling; title page with some minor and marginal soiling. On the whole a good quality copy with large margins. The title page (without date or place of imprint) depicts Saint Francis within an architectural border. On either side of the portrait are two engraved dedications to the widowed princesse Marie de Luxembourg, duchess of Pentheure. Her husband Philip Emanuel de Lorraine died in 1602; therefore the printing date after 1602. The frontispice gives another portrait of St. Francis surrounded by the smaller portraits of the four virtues. All the plates are signed ''Thomas de Leu ex.''. The plates numbered 2 ->25 have a bi-lingual caption (Latin and French) which explains or comments the depicted scene. Some of the plates depict miracles performed by St. Francis. At the end is bound in a similar plate which obviously does not belong to the suite. Thomas de leu was born in Oudenaarde ( actual Flanders, Belgium) and learned engraving in Antwerp. Around 1578 he moved to Paris. The style of the engravings show clearly the Antwerp influence from designers and engravers such as Stradanus, Maarten De Vos etc. This suite is apparently quite rare. OCLC lists only four copies : Nat. Libr. of Schotland and University of Barcelona library, Münster and BN Paris.

Condition: Good. Folio. 26 x 39.5cm. (8) ff., 921pp., (1) p., (23) ff. Contemporary calf covers, restored with matching goatskin spine by the artisan binder Sasha Mosalov.OCLC Number: 457673221. Numerous engravings.The Icones of Philostratus the elder and those of his younger relative and name-sake provide us with detailed rhetorical descriptions of incidents in Greek mythology as depicted by ancient artists or as the author imagined they might be depicted. The elder Philostratus particularly values realistic representation and dramatic contrasts between a central personage and surrounding figures; the younger is also concerned with the expression of emotion (he includes Medea and Marsyas among his subjects). From the time of the classical revival in the 15th century these works were of great interest to artists and historians of art. After the discovery of the wall-paintings of Herculaneum, Pompeii and other ancient sites, which revealed actual examples of the subjects presented imaginatively by Philostratus (for example, Achilles and Cheiron, Perseus and Andromeda, Narcissus, Heracles and the pygmies), their historical usefulness was confirmed; and they are cited in the art-theoretic works of Winkelmann and Goethe.The plates show attempted reconstructions of some of the scenes described in the texts. Sixty-five full-page illustrations are assigned to the Icones of the first Philostratus; two plates to the Icones and Heroicus of the second Philostratus; and one full-page illustration to the Descriptiones or Statuae of Callistratus.
