About the Item

A series of six framed and colored engravings, recounting the life of "The Prodigal Son", after S Leclerc: *Debauched life of the prodigal son - broken glass *The prodigal son demanding his legitimacy *The departure of the prodigal son *The prodigal son in abject poverty *The prodigal son pleading for his father's kindness - broken glass *Rejoicing for the return of the prodigal son. Short texts illustrate the engravings, bearing the names "Le Clerc Pinx" and "A Ragana Sculpt." Sébastien Leclerc (1637-1714) was a draftsman and engraver from Lorraine, awakened to the arts at a very young age by his father. Around 1665, sponsored by Charles Le Brun, he settled in Paris and obtained numerous commissions. As an artist to the King, he received an annual stipend and took up residence at the Gobelins Manufactory, on the condition that he work exclusively for the King. King - he joined the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in 1672. His pension no longer sufficient, he regained his independence and produced a very large number of plates: hardly an important book was published without being adorned with an engraving by Sébastien Leclerc. In 1693, he obtained the position of Ordinary Engraver to the King. Very beautiful early 19th-century frames in wood marquetry - some defects; wooden backing except for one.
