    Rubens & Chasselat (After)

    Pair Of 19th-Century Classical Engravings

    Two fine 19th-century engravings depicting classical scenes from Greek mythology.

    The first represents ‘The Abduction of Ganymede’ and is based upon a painting by Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640). Ganymede was a shepherd blessed with such beauty that the God, Jupiter, fell in love with him. Jupiter was so captivated with Ganymede that he carried him away to Olympus after transforming into an eagle.

    The second engraving is based upon a drawing by Charles Abraham Chasselat (1782-1843) and depicts ‘Daphnis and Chloe’ - a young couple hopelessly in love, yet too naive to avoid tragedy. The engraving is by ‘Noel’, which probably refers to Charles Francis Noel.

    Both are held within good contemporary frames.

    Overall size: 13” x 13” / 34cm x 34cm and 11” x 12½” / 29cm x 32cm
    Year of creation: c. 1820 / c. 1850
    Provenance: Sweden

    Conservation & History

    We care profoundly about our role as custodians and every piece in the collection has been assessed by our conservator. When required, we undertake professional restoration carefully using reversible techniques and adopt a light touch to retain the aged charm of each work. We also often restore frames rather than replace them as many are original and selected by the artists themselves.
