Hudson River Valley with Waterfall By. John William Hill (English, American, 1812-1879) Signed Lower Left Unframed: 14" x 19" Framed: 23" x 28.5" John William Hill was the son of the British aquatint engraver John Hill and the father of John Henry Hill. He immigrated with his family to this country in 1819. He was apprenticed to his father in 1822 when his family moved from Philadelphia to New York City. In 1833, by the age of 21, he was elected an associate of the National Academy of Design. Early in his career he was a topographical artist employed by the New York State Geological Survey and later by Smith Brothers of New York City, for whom he made watercolor views of many American cities. About 1855, Hill read Ruskin’s Modern Painters and became interested in the American Pre-Raphaelite Movement of which he came to be considered the leading spirit in America. A versatile artist, he worked in lithography, aquatint, and watercolor. He made detailed pictures directly from nature, many in watercolor and executed in a stipple technique with tiny brushes normally employed for miniatures. He exhibited at the National Academy of Design from 1829 until his death and also at the Brooklyn Art...

Chronological Portraits of the Kings of Spain – Large Engraved Suite, Rome 1700

Located in Langweer, NL

Chronological Portraits of the Kings of Spain – Large Engraved Suite, Rome c.1700 This impressive engraved suite presents a chronological portrait history of Spain, tracing political authority on the Iberian Peninsula from Roman imperial rule through the Visigothic period, the medieval Christian kingdoms, and the Habsburg monarchy, concluding with Charles II of Spain. The series is conceived as a visual narrative of Spanish sovereignty rather than a generic collection of rulers. It begins with Roman emperors closely connected to Hispania, including Trajan and Hadrian, and continues through late antiquity, the Visigothic kings, the Reconquista, and the consolidation of Spain under Castile, León, Aragón, and the Habsburg dynasty. Together, the sheets form a coherent regnal sequence spanning more than fifteen centuries of Spanish history. Each sheet is structured as a carefully balanced grid of oval portrait medallions, framed by architectural borders and accompanied by concise Latin texts. The portrait style is derived from classical and numismatic sources, lending the series a timeless, authoritative character. The monochrome engraving, strong linear structure, and repetition of form give the set considerable decorative impact, making it particularly suitable for libraries, studies, hallways, or large wall installations. The engravings were produced in Rome around 1700, within the tradition of learned historical illustration intended for collectors, scholars, and institutions. The presence of intentionally blank medallions at the end of the sequence reflects the original concept of an expandable dynastic history and underscores the intellectual ambition of the project. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a large, visually unified Spanish royal portrait series that combines strong interior appeal with serious historical depth. Condition report: Overall very good condition. Clean impressions with strong detail. Light age toning, minor handling marks, and occasional soft creases consistent with age. Margins ample. No restorations observed. Framing tips Excellent framed as a full suite in matching frames for a statement wall, or individually spaced in a grid layout. Works well with dark wood or black frames and generous off-white mats to emphasize the engraved detail. Technique Copper engraving Maker Italian engravers, Rome, circa 1700 Keyword: Kings of Spain portraits, Spanish monarchy, Spain royal history, Hispania rulers, Roman Hispania, Visigothic kings, Reconquista Spain, Habsburg Spain, Spanish regnal portraits, dynastic portrait series, genealogical engravings, Roman engraving...
