Paintings and prints
 

I ask to speak out about this now my prints.
This is a portrait of the actor in the role of Angelo Constantini Mezetin in commedia dell'arte. Downstairs poetry de La Fontaine. Engraver Cornelis Vermeulen. Date engraving 1694.
And below the author's work itself Jean Francois de Troy, on which the copy was made .
It is remarkable that, in my view, copy , this time surpassed the original.
I'm wondering your opinion on the most engraving. Its value - historical and material.

This is how you look at who's made up.
Cornelis Vermeulen was older than Jean Francois de Troy for 35 years, and the time of death Cornelis Vermeulen, Francois de Troy was still in Rome.

In the 1694-m, Jean Francois de Troy, the presumed author of the "original" was only 15 years old.

"Thank you" - Artem and redbor, not from me.

On behalf of the staff of the British Museum.

Are you sure that this is identical prints ?
If you omit the lack of poetry in the museum , you never know what the comparison is not the same as the picture , as I understand , and the details are not really - for example for the left foot .
See for yourself:

Well, the author of the original completely different artist.

Not http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_François_de_Troy (1679-1752)

A http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/François_de_Troy (1645-1730)


And the portrait, which is in the first message comes in the guise of the original - it dates from the early 18th century, and it is obvious that this is also a copy of which Jean-Francois did with the original father.

And where is the original?)))

Father and son painted somehow not very clear.
But most importantly, it is written in later prints.

Credit: Angelo Constantini (1655-1730) in the Role of Mezzetin, c.1699-1706 (oil on canvas), Troy, Jean Francois de (1679-1752) /Musee Conde, Chantilly, France /Giraudon /The
Bridgeman Art Library

But the original is not found :) He may not even preserved.
But the British original attributes to his father , perhaps , they have something original about it know. Well, yes portrait , written later prints , and age of the artist is Student . Most likely from the same original.

Where information you have about this? Of - the beginning of the 18th century ? Podtverdeniya ?
