marquis of stafford collection

Bearing this in mind, it is not so surprising then, that when the National Gallery was founded in 1824, the Marquis of Stafford was among its first benefactors, donating Rubens’s War and Peace in 1828 (NG 46). A decade later, his son, the future Earl of Ellesmere, presented two large cartoons by Agostino in 1837: Cephalus carried off by Aurora in her Chariot and A Woman borne off by a Sea God(?) (NG 147-8). Furthermore, the Earl of Ellesmere served as a Trustee of the National Gallery, London, for 20 years from 1835, going on to fulfil a similar function at the adjacent National Portrait Gallery for a year or so in 1856.

TOMKINS, Peltro William and OTTLEY, William Young. Engravings of the Most Noble The Marquis of Stafford’s Collection of Pictures, in London. London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme and Brown, et al., 1818. Four volumes bound in two.

First edition of this splendid series of copper-plate engravings after the works of art in the Marquis of Stafford’s extensive collection, two folio volumes beautifully bound in contemporary straight-grain morocco gilt.

The engravings are arranged according to school and in chronological order; the Marquis’ collection was particularly strong in the various Italian, German, Flemish and Dutch schools. W. M. Craig drew the reductions, which were then skillfully translated to copper plates by some of the best engravers working in England at the time, including Heath, Romney, Fittler, and Tomkins himself. Also with line engravings of the 13 rooms of the Marquis’ London gallery, showing the location of each painting. There was also an issue of this edition with the plates mounted on card and hand-colored.

Titre marque du sceau du chateau

The title of Duke de La Rochefoucauld was a French peerage, one of most famous families of French nobility, whose origins go back to lord Rochefoucauld in Charente (department) of the 10th Century - 11th Century (with official evidence of nobility in 1019). It became Rochefoucauld in the 13th Century.

François VI, Duc de La Rochefoucauld, Prince de Marcillac (15 September 1613 – 17 March 1680) was a noted French author of maxims and memoirs. The view of human conduct his writings describe has been summed up by the words "everything is reducible to the motive of self-interest", though the term "gently cynical" has also been applied. Born in Paris in the Rue des Petits Champs, at a time when the royal court was oscillating between aiding the nobility and threatening it, he was considered an exemplar of the accomplished 17th-century nobleman. Until 1650, he bore the title of Prince de Marcillac.

Jean Baptiste Bory de Saint-Vincent (6 July 1778 – 22 December 1846) was a French naturalist. (His personal name is variously reported, including "Jean Baptiste Marcellin" and "Jean Baptiste George Marie".)

Biography

He was born at Agen. He was sent as naturalist with Captain Nicolas Baudin's expedition to Australia in 1798, but left the vessel at Mauritius, and spent two years in exploring Réunion and other islands in the Indian Ocean. Joining the army on his return, he was present at the battle of Ulm and battle of Austerlitz, and in 1808 went to Spain with Marshal Soult. In 1815, he supported Napoleon and opposed the Bourbons. Consequently he was proscribed after the Bourbon restoration. But after several years of exile, he was allowed to return quietly to Paris in 1820. In 1829 he headed a scientific expedition to the Peloponnese, and in 1839 he had charge of the exploration of Algeria.

He was editor of the Dictionnaire classique d'histoire naturelle (Classical Dictionary of Natural History). His own publications include Essais sur les Iles Fortunées (1802; Essays on the Fortunate Islands Canary Islands), Voyage dans les Iles d'Afrique (1803; Travels in the Islands of Africa), Voyage souterrain, ou description du plateau de Saint-Pierre de Maestricht et de ses vastes cryptes (1821; Travels Underground, or Description of St. Pietersberg in Maastricht and Its Great Caves), L'Homme, essai zoologique sur le genre humain (1827; Man: Zoological Essay on the Human Species), in which he adopted a polygenist perspective. and Resume de la géographie de la Peninsule (1838; Summary of the Geography of the Iberian Peninsula).

KALLIGRAPHIE STEYR 1700 : ::: : TAUFERS TIROL KIRMES SZENE LAVIS 1833-35 LOUIS MAYER 1791-1843

Ludwig Hartmann Mayer wurde als zweiter Sohn des Friedrich Christoph Mayer (1762–1841), Amtmann der Herren von Helmstatt zu Bischofsheim geboren. Unter seinen 14 Paten war Carl Christoph von Helmstatt. Sein zweiter Vorname Hartmann ist der Geburtsname der Mutter. Er selbst nannte sich stets Louis.

Bereits der Vater soll zeichnerisches Talent gehabt haben. Nach dem Tode dessen Dienstherren 1795 zog die Familie 1797 zum neuen Wirkungsort des Vaters nach Heilbronn. Bruder Karl zog zu den Großeltern Hartmann nach Stuttgart und besuchte dort das Gymnasium, während Louis seine Jugend in Heilbronn verbrachte und eine Ausbildung als Kaufmann absolvierte. Der jüngere Bruder August fiel 1812 in Russland.

Trotz frueher kuenstlerischen Neigungen war Louis Mayer zunächst etliche Jahre für Handelshaeuser in Heidenheim, Stuttgart und Heilbronn (bei Carl Friedrich Lang Industriecomptoir) tätig. Erst ab 1824 im Alter von 33 Jahren besuchte er die Stuttgarter Akademie bei Gottlob Friedrich Steinkopf. 1830 bis 1832 führten ihn Studienreisen quer durch Italien, anschließend weitere Reisen über Tirol, das Salzburger Land und die Steiermark in die Schweiz sowie durch den sueddeutschen Raum, wo er jeweils Landschaftsbilder zeichnete. Seine Zeichnungen und Aquarelle sind im Stil der Romantik gehalten und stellen die Stimmung der Landschaft in den Vordergrund. Die Aquarelle bzw. Lavis Zeichnungen dienten als Vorlage für Stahlstiche zur Illustration des Buches „Tirol und Steiermark“, 30 Bilder erschienen 1838 in dem Band Wanderungen durch Schwaben.

Mayer unterhielt Kontakte zum Schwaebischen Dichterkreis und gehoerte zum Freundeskreis um Justinus Kerner, dessen Wohnhaus in Weinsberg er ebenfalls im Bild festhielt.

BLAEUW PFALZKARTE DETAIL KURPFALZ WAPPEN::CHARTA PALATINA CHRISTIAN MAYER MANNHEIM RRR

Christian Mayer (August 20, 1719 – April 16, 1783) was an Czech astronomer and teacher.

He was born in Modřice, Moravia. He became educated in Greek, Latin, mathematics, philosophy, and theology, although his place of studies is unknown. In his early twenties he decided to become a Jesuit, a path which caused him to leave his home due to the disapproval of his father. He entered the Society of Jesus in Mannheim in 1745. After completing his training he began teaching humanities.

Mannheim and environs, Charta Palatina of Christian Mayer, about 1775.

By 1752 his reputation was such that he was selected as a professor of mathematics and physics at Heidelberg. By this age, however, he had developed a strong interest in astronomy. He was appointed Court Astronomer at Mannheim, and was tasked with selecting the instruments for the new observatories at Schwetzingen and Mannheim. With these completed, he was able to pursue his astronomical studies, and published numerous works. In 1769 he was invited to St. Petersburg to observe the transit of Venus, which he did together with Anders Johan Lexell. In 1773, the Jesuit order was dissolved by Pope Clement XIV, and consequently he was removed as Court Astronomer. However he was still able to continue his astronomical observations and studies. He applied for and was granted in December 1765 a Fellowship of the Royal Society.

He is most noted for pioneering the study of binary stars, although his equipment was ill-suitable for distinguishing between true binaries and coincident star alignments. In 1777-78 he compiled a catalog of 80 double stars, which he published in 1781.

During his lifetime he became a member of numerous learned societies. He died in Heidelberg.
