Danse a l'Italienne Il vous est doux, Iris, que tous ces Spectateurs/ De vos pas gracieux approuvent la Cadence,/ Et deviennent pour vous autant d'admirateurs;/ Mais d'un plaisir plus grand j'aurois la jouissance,/ Si vous applaudissiez aux tendres mouvements/ Qu'inspirent à mon Coeur vos divins agréments.

Torre de S. Roque chamada vulgarmente Torre do Patriarcha. Tour de S. Roch nommee vulgairement Tour du Patriarche.
[Engraved by by Jacques Philippe Le Bas.]
Avec privilège du Roy. [Published by Le Bas, Jacques François Blondel, and Veuve Chéreau, Paris, 1757.]
Etching, image 253 x 360mm. Trimmed within plate.
The tower of San Roque in Lisbon after its destruction in the Lisbon earthquake of 1755. The Great Lisbon Earthquake took place on November 1, 1755 at around 9:40 in the morning. The earthquake was followed by a tsunami and fire, which caused near-total destruction of the city and adjoining areas. Estimates place the death toll between 60,000 to 100,000 people, making it one of the most destructive earthquakes in history. The earthquake accentuated political tensions in Portugal and profoundly disrupted the country's eighteenth century colonial ambitions. The event was widely discussed and dwelt upon by European Enlightenment philosophers, and inspired major developments in theodicy and in the philosophy of the sublime. As the first earthquake studied scientifically for its effects over a large area, it led to the birth of modern seismology. Plate 1 from a series consisting of a titleplate and six views, 'Recueil des plus belles ruines de Lisbonne causées par le tremblement et par le feu du premier Novembre 1755'. The artists, MM. Paris and Pedegache were probably amateur local artists. The series was advertised by Le Bas in the 'Mercure de France' in March 1758 at the price of 12 livres on grand papier de chapelet, and 10 livres on grand raisin. A set of six piracies of the views was published by Robert Sayer in London (see 7971).

Engraving. Platemark: 370 x 490mm (14½ x 19¼"). Small tears to left and bottom edges of sheet. Very large margins. Very fine.
La Tentation de St. Antoine (The Temptation of St. Anthony) by Jacques-Philippe Le Bas (1707-1783), draughtsman, etcher, and engraver, after a painting by David Teniers, the younger, (1610-1690). St Anthony, praying in a cave before a crucifix and surrounded by monstrous creatures, is interrupted by a demon who points out at a courtesan to the right, with claws instead of feet, walking toward him, with a glass in her hand. She is urged forward by a creature that seems half-human and half-fowl. Other bizarre creatures fly through a doorway in the center or hover over the saint's head. An inscription in French below the image gives the provenance of the original painting; in the bottom right corner: '41e Teniers'.
