Item Details
Description
Antique Victorian photogravure, 1881.
"The Garden of Monsieur the Cure", after the 1875' painting by Etienne-Prosper Berne-Bellecour [1838-1910], engraved by Goupil, 1881; printed on heavy stock paper; signed in plate "Gustave Brion, Pinx." and "Gravure Goupil et Cie.". "The Masterpieces of French Art." The description page for this print is included.
Design 10" x 7.7/8" [25.2cm x 20cm], the entire plate is 11.1/2" x 14.1/2" [29cm x 38cm]; a little corner wear and a little foxing, very good condition [see photo].
Berne-Bellecour was born on 29 June 1838 in Boulogne, France. He studied under Francois-Edouard Picot and Felix-Joseph Barrias. He also attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and competed for the Prix de Rome in 1859.
He showcased his works at several Paris Salons in the 1860s and later. In 1869 and 1872 he won Salon medals. He also practiced as a sculptor and an etcher. Berne-Bellecour was named a Chevalier in the French Legion of Honor in 1878.
In 1870s-1890s, Goupil & Cie were the leading art dealers in 19th century France, with headquarters in Paris and a network of branches in London, Brussels, The Hague, Berlin and Vienna, as well as in New York and Australia. Instrumental for this expansion was the "Ateliers Photographiques", a plant north of Paris, in Asnieres, which took up its work in 1869. The photogravures created in this plant dominated the world art market of 1880s-1890s.
The creation of the photogravure plate was a complicated process requiring a work by a photographer and experienced master-engraver. First, a copper plate was coated with a light-sensitive gelatin tissue which had been exposed to a film positive, and then etched, resulting in a high-quality intaglio print that can reproduce the detail and continuous tones of a photograph. It is a manual process. Therefore, the quality of the photogravure depends on the masterly execution by the engraver.
Photogravures were engraved on copper plates and leave a plate impression in the paper. Due to relative softness of copper, the editions of photogravures were limited to a few thousand copies similarly to copper engravings and etchings.
Artwork will be mailed unframed.
