CALLOT, Jacques. Vie de la mere de dieu representée par emblemes Via beatae mariae virmatris emblematib.' Paris: ca 1626.
CALLOT, Jacques. Vie de la mere de dieu representée par emblemes Via beatae mariae virmatris emblematib.' Paris: ca 1626. 4 o (209 x 145 mm). 26 emblematic etchings by Callot. 19th-century morocco gilt by Cuzin. Provenance : Van der Helle (bookplate); Leon Rattier (gilt-leather bookplate); acquired from Librairie Rossignol, 1959. FIRST EDITION, with plates unnumbered. Callot's two emblem books, the Lux Claustri (lot 453) and the "Life of the Virgin in Symbols" are both of great beauty. "The delicate simplicity and poetic conception of the drawings, with their metaphors from nature, gave inspiration to these beautiful books Callot's treatment of the emblems and symbols reflect a sensitive, poetic imagination and a deep interest in symbology" (Bechtel, Callot ). See Landwehr Romanic 197; See Praz, p.294.
