London: Printed for J. Nutt..., 1706. [16],480,[8]pp. Octavo. Handsomely bound in modern three quarter calf and marbled boards, gilt labels. Frontispiece engraved by Nutting after a drawing by Coypel. A few minor corner creases, very shallow, faint receding tide- mark along extreme lower edges of first few leaves, otherwise a very good, crisp copy. First edition in English, the translation attributed to John Savage. De Piles utilized his position as art buyer for Louis XIV as a cover for political intrigues, and he wrote this work in prison after he was arrested for carrying a false passport in 1692 in the Hague. It was first published in 1699, after he assumed a position with the Académie de Peinture at de Sculpture. In his long dedication to Robert Child, Savage discusses having consulted with several of the experts Dryden drew upon in the course of his translation of Fresnoy, and his indebtedness to those sources for the appended "Essay Towards an English School of Painters," pp. 398-480. ESTC T10568.

Description:
1730 1st ed Illustrated FOLIO Bible Overton EXQUISITE ART Theatrum PassionisJohn and Henry Overton were English print-sellers at the beginning of the 18th-century. Little is known of their lives, particularly John. However, the engravings that are known to exist, printed by Henry, are considered exceedingly rare and desirable works of art.'Theatrum Passionis' is an early 18th-century collection of engravings published by Overton, each of which depicts the life of Jesus and notable New Testament stories involving Jesus. In addition to the engravings, this work is a complete New Testament Bible, with annotations of each book.Curiously, this work is a complete oddity. Research yields no clues to its origins, nor is it in any notable references. A remarkable, unique piece with impressive illustrations!Item number: #5479 Price: $950OVERTON, John & Henry.Theatrum passionis or figures of the life and death of our Lord and Saviour Jesus ChristLondon: printed collered and sold by H.

This book is in good condition. There is some wear on the front, back, spine, edges and corner of the cover. There is some dog-earring on the right corner pages of the book. The pages are white, crisp and clear of any markings. "This is a history of the visual arts produced in the geographical area that now constitutes the United States. Such a book is difficult to title. A History of United States Art sounds awkward and logically might even be construed to exclude the arts of the colonial period. Thus, with apologies to our northern and southern neighbors, I use the title A History of American Art, knowing full well that the terms America and the United States are not synonymous...." - Preface from A History of American Art
