Allegory of Painting, Sculpting and Architecture, signed C. G. Amling Sculp. after Joachim von Sandrart (1606-1686)

Amling [Ambling], Carl Gustav (b Nuremberg, bapt March 25, 1650; d Munich, Jan 1, 1703).

In the foreground are the personifications of painting (center), sculpture (left) and architecture (right) in antique clothing. Hermes, surrounded by putti, floats up from the top left and points to the work of painting. Athena is perched in the clouds at the top left. The background is composed of a backdrop of antique-looking buildings. In addition, further reminiscences of antique sculptures or architectural ornaments can be seen in the foreground, such as the torso of the Belvedere to the left of the sculpture.

Seller's Story

Having studied at Oxford University in the early 1980s I was lucky enough to learn about the rare book and print trade by scuttling around the markets and auction houses of London at a time when it was still quite possible to discover "that find". Similarly I was able to hone my specialist interests in illustrated Natural History, Mythology and Science, something that I hope is still reflected in the items I offer. The aim is to offer the rare, interesting, unusual, beautiful and strange, from Master Engravings to Exquisite Folios. So at the very least we hope your visit to the site to be a rewarding and enlightening experience! Daniel Good Rare Books

Professional and reliable. Planisphere in perfect conditions, and a remarkable piece, not inferior to its original source (Bellin, 1748). Thank you very much!
