Price realised: 6.000 USD
ANDROUET DU CERCEAU, Jacques. Leçons de perspective positive. Paris: Mamert Patisson, 1576.
2 o (287 x 191 mm). 60 etched plates. (Without blank B6.) Modern vellum. Provenance: Modern French bookplate with initial P; acquired from Marlborough Rare Books, 1986.
FIRST EDTITION. This book was undertaken by du Cerceau during a break from his works on the Plus excellents bastiments. "Androuet du Cerceau's purpose in undertaking this book was to provide a series of lessons on increasingly difficult problems as aids to the artist in constructing perspectives. The Perspective is still within the early perspective tradition of Jean Pélerin (Viator)'s De artificiali perspectiva (1505), and precedes the break between geometrically oriented architectural perspectivalists and the pictorial studies of painters" (Millard). Berlin Kat. 4699; Cicognara 827; Fowler 26; Geymüller, p. 299; Millard French 7.

ANDROUET DU CERCEAU. [Vues d'optiques; or fragments d'architecture antique]. Jacobus Androuetius Du Cerceau. Lectoribus suis. Veteri consuetudine institutoque nostro novos subinde...Valete. Orléans, 1551.
Two suites of plates from the Vues d'optiques in various states which collate as follows: First suite (second state): etched title and 22 etched plates (Plate 1 is a re-engraving, plate 4 is not by du Cerceau, and plate 19 is a variant of plate 1). Second suite (first state): etched title and 19 etched plates (all cut round and mounted, 6 with defects).
AN EXTREMELY RARE COMPLETE COPY of Du Cerceau's Vues d'optiques comprising the twenty-one different designs with other impressions of variant states and versions bound in. The difference between the two states is the difference in their diameter of approximately 9mm. This difference is probably due to the fact that the ususual shape of the copperplates may have led to premature deterioration, hence the subsequent trimming of their average diameters from 179 to 170mm, and the re-engraving of two which may have broken up. Berlin Kat 2356 (first state), 2357 (second state); Brunet I:282; Geymüller, pp. 300-01; Guilmard, p. 13.

Sold at the lower estimate price

The work Leçons De Perspective Positive. Paris: Mamert Patisson, 1576. by Jacques Androuet du Cerceau I was auctioned at Christies in New York in June 2013. The result of USD 6,000 (€ 4,612) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 6,000 - 9,000. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jacques Androuet du Cerceau I achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Façade of Five Bays In The Corinthian Order, The Central Bay With A Doorway Surmounted By The French Royal Arms, The Surmounting Balustrade With A Central Arch With A Relief of A Mounted Falconer And Two Female Figures Supporting A Fleur-De-Lys in July 2006 with an auction result of GBP 38,400 (€

Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis

Die Arbeit Leçons De Perspective Positive. Paris: Mamert Patisson, 1576. von Jacques Androuet du Cerceau I kam im Juni 2013 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 6.000,00 (€ 4.611,84) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 6.000,00 – 9.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jacques Androuet du Cerceau I erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Façade of Five Bays In The Corinthian Order, The Central Bay With A Doorway Surmounted By The French Royal Arms, The Surmounting Balustrade With A Central Arch With A Relief of A Mounted Falconer And Two Female Figures Supporting A Fleur-De-Lys im Juli 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 38.400,00 (€ 56.213,10).
