Antique Adam and Abel Original Engraving French Art Robert de Launay Framed Old Master Print
Antique French engraving entitled Adam et Abel, depicting Adam mourning the body of his son Abel while Cain retreats into the distant background. The dramatic composition is based on a 17th-century Italian Baroque painting by Andrea Sacchi, rendered in finely detailed monochrome engraving.
Engraved by Robert de Launay, a French printmaker active in Paris, this work belongs to the Galerie du Palais-Royal, a celebrated series published between 1786 and 1808. The series documented the distinguished art collection of Louis Philippe Joseph, Duc d’Orléans, housed at the Palais-Royal in Paris before it was dispersed during the French Revolution.
The print is attractively matted and framed behind glass. Its classical subject and monochrome palette suit traditional, European-inspired interiors. Display it in a library, study, or reading room, or incorporate it into a gallery wall alongside antique engravings, historical portraits, and other works with literary or religious themes.
An appealing choice for enthusiasts of Old Master art, classical painting, and the history of European collecting.
It comes nicely matted and framed, ready to display. In good condition with paper toning, foxing, and imperfections consistent with age, as shown. Carefully packed and shipped fully insured with tracking.
Measurements: Frame: 19 1/2" by 16 3/4" by 1/2" approximately.
Weight: 2 lbs. 8.3 oz. unpacked approximately.
