The Wedding Of Zeus Marrying Peleus to Thetis the Sea Goddess

Descripción

"The Wedding Of Zeus Marrying Peleus to Thetis the Sea Goddess". (Their Son was Achilles). A small frieze copper engraving of this Greek mythological tale. Dates to c1680. Titles beneath the image "Pelei Et Tethydis Nuptiae". Artist and engravers name to lower left outside image but within plate mark. All very clean and good impression or strike. On wove paper with on the reverse a light vertical line down the centre indication it was once folded. The nice thing is this cannot be see from the front and surface clear. Measures; 17.5 x 30 cm. Note* No engraver, print maker or artist found with this name having searched carefully. Possibly Italian and the work was made in Italy c1650-1700. There was a French Astronomer Giovanni Domenico Cassini and his father was named "Jacopo". The astronomer was born in 1648, so a date mid-to-late 17th century would fit? This is a long shot but worth mentioning if doing further research. N° de ref. del artículo A259
