LAMBERT DOOMER, VIEW OF A SLATE QUARRY NEAR ANGERS, BLACK CHALK, PEN AND BROWN INK, BROWN AND GREY WASH, WATERCOLOUR, PEN AND BROWN INK FRAMING LINES, ON LEDGER PAPER, WATERMARK

The trip which the young Dutch artist Lambert Doomer undertook in 1645-1646 along the Loire counts among the best documented of any seventeenth-century artist. Thanks to the surviving drawings related to it, and thanks to the diary kept by his even younger travel companion, Willem Schellinks (1627-1678), we know the pair visited the slate quarries between Angers and Saumur on 10 July 1646 (Alsteens and Buijs, op. cit., p. 135). Schellinks’s description is worth quoting in full: ‘We reached the slate quarries, of which there are a lot here, and they are continually worked in. Among others, we saw one that was so frighteningly deep that, even if you went around the wide opening above, you could not see any of the workers below; you could only hear the sound of their picks and hammers, and the echo of their screams. And these shafts descend perpendicularly to the ground; they are dug all around with angles and wide compartments’ (published ibid., p. 358). The impressive quarry seen in the present view may well be the one Schellinks singles out as the deepest one; all were situated in the village of Trélazé, to the South-East of Angers. Today, they are filled with water, and visitable as the lakes of the Parc des Ardoisières.

The drawing which Doomer must have made on the spot may have been a pen sketch in the Kupferstichkbainett, Berlin (inv. KdZ 11965; see Schulz, op. cit., no. 101, fig. 53; Alsteens and Buijs, no. 33, ill.), or more probably a lost sketch. The drawing presented here is part of the extensive series of replicas made by Doomer after 1671, and recognisable by the ledger paper on which they are made, as well as the usual eighteenth-century inscriptions in Dutch on the verso describing their subjects of the views (Alsteens and Buijs., op. cit., pp. 34-36). They appeared as a group in the sale of the art owned by the Amsterdam collector Jeronimus Tonneman (see Provenance). However, as he was born only in 1687, they must have been made for another collector, possibly at his request; all sheets are of the same format, finish and technique. One such Dutch collector was the Amsterdam lawyer Laurens van der Hem (1621-1678), whose collection of topographical prints and drawings was bound in a copy of Joan Blaeu’s Atlas maior, today in the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Vienna. Both Doomer and Schellinks contributed significantly to this project project, the latter with a repetition of Doomer’s view of the slate quarry in Berlin (P. van der Krogt and E. de Groot, The Atlas Blaeu-Van der Hem of the Austrian National Library. descriptive catalogue of the four supplemental volumes to the “Atlas”, I, ’t Goy-Houten, 1996, no. 6:83, as by Doomer; review of the previous publication by S. Alsteens, Master Drawings, XLVIII, no. 1, spring 2010, p. 111, under 6:83).
