SEBA ALBERTUS (1665-1736)Plate from the work published between 1734-1765 : Locupletissimi rerum naturalium thesauri accurata descriptio et iconibus artificiosissimis expressis per universam physices historiam, opus ... ex toto terrarum orbe collegit, digessit, descripsit et depingendum curavit Albertus Seba ... Albertus Seba is a Dutch zoologist and pharmacist, famous for his cabinet of curiosities. The income from his pharmacy provided him with a solid fortune, which he devoted to natural history, buying specimens from the New World and from distant lands. He sold his first collection to Tsar Peter I the Great in 1717 (which formed the embryo of the future museum of Saint Petersburg). The Seba Thesaurus is a splendid publication, on the border between art and science. The animals are represented in artistic poses and the shells form decorative patterns. These prints represent a summit in the art of naturalistic illustration. They will often be used by other authors after him, notably Linné.Large print with good margins, usual middle fold..

He presented them in close-up and thus produced "portraits of birds", in particular the rooster, a great source of inspiration."(in Émilie Vabre, "Prosper-Alphonse Isaac (1858-1924)", Nouvelles de l'estampe, 237 | 2011)Ca.1910Inventaire du Fonds Français : 19..

COLLAERT JAN II ( 1561-1628 )From the set : Venationes Ferarum drawn by Jan van der Straet (1523 - 1605)Nice print with large margins, slight uniform yellowing, median fold.The success of the famous Huntings tapestry designed by Stradanus for Cosimo de Medici encouraged the Flemish artist to project a series of engravings inspired by the tapestries. After three series of six hunts published by Hieronymus Cock in 1570 then by his widow in 1574 and 1576, Stradanus began a long and fruitful collaboration with the publisher Philips Galle. He executed a large number of drawings for him which gave rise to the publication of two new series: the first, comprising a title page followed by forty-three slides, was published between 1578 and 1580; the second, published around 1596, added sixty-one hunts and a new frontispiece bearing the still famous title of Venationes Ferarum, Avium, Piscium.For exotic or fabulous hunts, which were only added to the initial repertoire of hunts during the editions of Philips Galle from 1578, the artist draws on Pliny's 'Natural History', in particular chapter VIII devoted to land animals. . Stradanus combines observation from nature and borrowing from other artists, particularly for species not visible in the menageries of Florence. (O. Savatier, 2013).Bibliography:F.
