CABINET OF RARITIES,A pdf 在线 2025 epub 免费 书籍 下载

　　Erik Desmazières is acknowledged as a contemporary master of

the art of etching. With breathtaking virtuosity, he recreates

interiors, cityscapes, landscapes and fantastical compositions from

a Piranesian world. Any new work Desmazières produces is a

bibliophile’s delight; and this book, the first in which he uses

colour, reimagines the arcane world of the cabinet of curiosities:

antiquarian collections of the recondite, rare and bizarre, which

reminded the viewer of the vanity of earthly life. Patrick

Mauriès’s text is in three parts. The first locates Desmazières and

his work in the long tradition of artist-printmakers; the second

surveys the world of 17th-century antiquarianism and its intriguing

cast of characters (John Evelyn, John Aubrey and, above all, Thomas

Browne, plus many of their continental counterparts); and in the

third Mauriès examines today’s reawakened interest in cabinets of

rarities and curiosities, and considers how a phenomenon once

considered the preserve of specialists has entered the cultural

mainstream.
