![[Six scenes from the French Revolution]](jpegs/42468.jpg)
[Six scenes from the French Revolution] [Masssacre in Lyon; Condorcet committing suicide; Cecilia Renaud condemned to death; Loiserolles taken by Robespierre's men; The Pacification of the Vendée; The Sitting of the Council of Five Hundred]
[engraved by Giacomo Aliprandi after Jean Duplessi-Bertaux, Francisco Vieria, 'Drevet' and 'Fragonard', 1803-4]
Six stipples, each sheet approx. 350 x 445mm (13¾ x 17½"). Trimmed inside platemarks, false margins added, and folded through centre; collector's stamp of Reverend J. Burleigh James verso of all.
Series of French Revolutionary subjects, which while bearing English text and London publication dates were probably produced in Italy (Giacomo Aliprandi, for instance, is not known to have worked in England). Aliprandi's prints were copied after stipples by artists such as Bartolozzi, and presented as published in England (with the names of imaginary French artists in some cases) to capitalize on the vogue for English prints. Once in the collection of Reverend J. Burleigh James of Knowbury Park, Shropshire. An important collector of prints of all schools and periods, James' collection of prints by Rembrandt and Dürer was particularly notable.
L.1425; for the 'Sitting of the Council of Five Hundred' see 'Bonaparte and the British' (ex. cat., British Museum, 2015), p.86.
