Author: Hollar, Wenceslaus (1607-1677).
Title: Amata and Lavinia Among the Bacchantes": An Original Etching by Wenceslaus Hollar After a Drawing by Francis Cleyn.
Description: [London: Thomas Warren], [1654]. [1654]. - An original 11-7/8 inch high by 7-5/8 inch wide etching, illustrated with a 10-1/8 inch high by 7-1/2 inch wide image etched by Hollar. Latin text from Aenid L.7. added within the plate marks at the bottom is etched by Hollar on either side of a coat of arms. As per Pennington 316, (State 2): Amata the Latian queen and her daughter Lavinia dance with the Bacchantes who wave ivy-encircled lances. Juno is in the sky on the right with Alecto flying towards her. "F. Cleyn inv." and "W. Hollar fec: Londini 1652" are etched within the image at the lower right corner. Text on the verso, printed in letterpress, is from Ogilby's original 1654 English edition. Closely cropped near the plate marks, the etching is mounted with glue from the verso onto a larger sheet of paper. The print is in otherwise near fine condition although the edges of the mount are foxed and creased with a small piece out from the bottom left corner of the mount. One of a series of original etchings by Wenceslaus Hollar which were created to illustrate scenes from Virgil. They first appeared in 1654 in John Ogilby's "The Works of Publivs Virgilivs Maro Translated, adorn'd with Sculpture, and illustrated with Annotations". The work was published in London and printed for the author by Thomas Warren. Hollar's etchings were after drawings by Francis Cleyn. Noted for his engravings and etchings, the prolific Bohemian artist Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-1677) spent much of his life in England. [Ref.: Richard Pennington: "A Descriptive Catalogue of the Works of Wenceslaus Hollar 1607-1677", published by Cambridge University Press, 1982]. Very good .
