Henri Testelin
Henri Testelin belongs among the French painters and art theorists of the seventeenth century, and the single sheet held here preserves his contribution to academic writing on painting and sculpture rather than a painted canvas. Its medium is printmaking, carried out in etching and woodcut, the two techniques represented in this collection. The archive's holding dates to 1696, with impressions up to that year, and comprises one work: an illustrated treatise setting out the opinions of accomplished painters on the practice of painting and sculpture in tabular form, accompanied by academic discourses.
