Engraving. Sheet 225 x 175mm (9 x 7"). Trimmed to plate.
Portrait of Democritus (c. 46 c. 370 BC) who was an Ancient Greek pre-Socratic philosopher from Abdera, primarily remembered today for his formulation of an atomic theory of the universe, engraved by William Blake. Democritus wrote extensively on a wide variety of topics. None of Democritus' original work has survived, except through second-hand references. Many of these references come from Aristotle, who viewed him as an important rival in the field of natural philosophy. He was known in antiquity as the ‘laughing philosopher’ because of his emphasis on the value of cheerfulness.

[Sir Balthazar Gerbier and his Family From the Original Picture, painted by Sir Ant: van Dyck, in the Collection of her Royal Highness the Princess Dowager of Wales...]
A. van Dyck pinx.t. W.m Walker Sculpsit.
J. Boydell exc.t. 1766 [Published according to Act of Parliament, Feb 1st 1766 by J. Boydell Engraver, in Cheapside, London.]
Engraving, scratch letter proof before title. 475 x 605mm (18¾ x 23¾"), with large margins.
Sir Balthasar Gerbier (1592-1663/67), art agent, miniature painter, and architect, with his wife Debora Kip and their eight children (it is suggested that the girl in the centre is either a servant or a dwarf). While Gerbier's creative efforts have been disparaged (Pepys said one of his books was 'not worth a turd'), in recent years attention has turned towards Gerbier's work as keeper of the picture collection of George Villiers, marquess of Buckingham. Frederick, Prince of Wales, bought the original oil as a Van Dyck in 1749; however the Royal Collection now ascribes it to Sir Peter Paul Rubens and his studio (probably Jacob Jordaens). Gerbier and Rubens first met in the 1720s while conducting diplomatic business (it is claimed they were using Buckingham's collecting as a cover for conducting treaties between Britain and Spain). As Gerbier's family grew the painting was extended: in c.1629-30 it only featured Debora, three children and a baby; c. 1631-4 more canvas was stitched on, on which Gerbier and the two central figures were added; finally c. 1638-41 the three children on the right were apended. The timespan of the additions make most of the children look the same age. The original painting was sketched by Edward Edwards to prepare this engraving, which was published in 'The Most Capital Paintings in England', a five-volume set that was a critical and financial success for the publisher John Boydell.

St Ignatius of Loyola (1491 - 1556) was the principal founder and first Superior General of the Society of Jesus. He was very active in fighting the Protestant Reformation and promoting the subsequent Counter-Reformation. He was beatified and then on March 12, 1622, was canonized. His feast day is July 31st. He is the patron saint of the Basque historical territories of Guipúzcoa and Biscay and the Society of Jesus, among other things. He stands in a gesture of blessing and holding the open book of Rule of his Order, with the Jesuit motto 'Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam' inscribed within. A ray of divine light penetrates the dark background above him. By John Brandard (1812 - 1863), Victorian lithographer, engraver and illustrator. After the painting by Peter Paul Rubens at Warwick Castle, formerly the altar-painting of the Jesuit's Church at Brussels. It is the companion piece to a representation of St Francis Xavier

St Ignatius of Loyola (1491 - 1556) was the principal founder and first Superior General of the Society of Jesus. He was very active in fighting the Protestant Reformation and promoting the subsequent Counter-Reformation. He was beatified and then on March 12, 1622, was canonized. His feast day is July 31st. He is the patron saint of the Basque historical territories of Guipúzcoa and Biscay and the Society of Jesus, among other things. He stands in a gesture of blessing and holding the open book of Rule of his Order, with the Jesuit motto 'Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam' inscribed within. A ray of divine light penetrates the dark background above him. By John Brandard (1812 - 1863), Victorian lithographer, engraver and illustrator. After the painting by Peter Paul Rubens at Warwick Castle, formerly the altar-painting of the Jesuit's Church at Brussels. It is the companion piece to a representation of St Francis Xavier

Mezzotint. 470 x 580mm (18½ x 22¾"). Trimmed within plate at bottom, thread margins elsewhere chipped. Crease top right.
Peter Paul Ruben's 'Feast in the House of Simon the Pharisee', painted in Flanders circa 1618-20, representing the conflict between the material values and religious dogmatism of the Pharisees world and the Christian doctrine of sympathy, charity and goodness. Here the repentant sinner washing Christ's feet with her tears is named as Mary Magdalene; however the Gospel of Luke leaves her nameless. At the time of this engraving the painting was part of the art collection of Sir Horace Walpole (1676-1745) at Houghton, Norfolk. Following his death part of the collection was sold to pay off debts, and by the 1770s it was inevitable the rest would suffer the same fate. Before it could be dispersed John Boydell commissioned a vast series of mezzotints of the collection, which was fortuitous: despite John Wilkes attempt to persuade Parliament to buy the collection for the nation 206 paintings were sold to Catherine the Great for £40,550 in 1779. 127 works from Houghton, including this one, are now in the Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg.
