Description / Synopsis
Michel de Marolles (1600-1681) a French clergyman, genealogist, translator, and writer active in the art sphere of the time. After collecting prints for about 21 years, by 1665 he owned 123,000 prints. A year later, he published one of the first known books on prints “Catalogue de livres d’estampes et de figures en taille-douce”, documenting this vast collection of around 6000 master printers and their work, which he sold to King Louis XIV for 28,000 livres in 1667. These prints were bound into 520 volumes and formed the basis of the Cabinet des Estampes in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. |
