Post lot text

FRENCH SCHOOL, 17TH CENTURY, DESIGN FOR AN ALTAR, PEN AND BROWN INK, BROWN AND GREY WASH, INSCRIBED

This design for an altar, richly decorated with Corinthian columns, surmounted by a frieze of metopes and triglyphs, a monstrance and winged angels holding censers, is presented in elevation and plan. The first signature, that of the artist, which begins with a ‘B’, remains unidentified, while the second is that of the person in charge of approving the commission, probably the church’s priest. This is a rare example of a design for church furniture from the second half of the 17th Century. The Dijon sculptor Jean Dubois (1625-1694) produced a Project for an architectural and sculpted tabernacle, similar in technique and composition, that is part of an album of 168 drawings in the Musée du Louvre, inv. RF 6066.85.
We are grateful to Peter Fuhring for his assistance in writing this note.
