EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Plate 3 of "Le cabinet de la Bibliotheque Sainte Genevieve" a remarkable engraving from 1692. The image spans across two facing pages, offering a glimpse into the interior of a magnificent library. The shelves are adorned with an impressive collection of books on antiquities, representing the religions of Christians, Egyptians, and Romans. Delicately carved busts grace the scene; G. Delamoignon stands proudly on the left while Hiero Bignon commands attention on the right. Religious paintings add a touch of spirituality to this grand space, but it is the painting of Christ on the Cross that takes center stage between two elegant windows. Its presence exudes reverence and contemplation. The lower left corner bears the name of Antoine Dezallier, who skillfully engraved this masterpiece. His meticulous craftsmanship brings life to every detail within this composition. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but be transported back in time to an era when libraries were sanctuaries for knowledge seekers and collectors alike. This visual feast invites us to immerse ourselves in history and explore ancient artifacts such as tombs, weights and medals, coins, engraved antique stones, and minerals. Plate 3 captures not only an exquisite library interior but also our imagination as we ponder its rich contents and appreciate its artistic beauty.
