Georg Christoph Eimmart II (aka Georg
Christoph Eimart II) (1638–1705)—pupil of Jacob von Sandrart and an illustrator
for Von Sandrart.
Note that Sandrart.net (http://ta.sandrart.net/en/artwork/view/3732)
showcases a variation of this print by Pietro Santi Bartoli (1635–1700)
and a comparison of the two prints is interesting: https://arachne.dainst.org/entity/232770/image/232770

“Im(peratoris)
Titi Judaicus Triumphus”, c.1680, after a relief on the Arch of Titus in
Rome, illustration (plate “FF”) to Joachim von Sandrart’s (aka
Jakob von Sandrart) (1630–1708) “L'Academia Todesca della Architectura, Scultura
et Pittura, Oder Teutsche Academie der Edlen Bau-Bild- und Mahlerey-Künste …”, vol.
5, published in Nuremburg, inserted with other plates between pages 198 and 199.
(BM offers details of this publication: https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/P_1974-1207-30).
Etching on laid paper with wide margins laid
onto a support sheet, inscribed below the platemark in brown ink by an old
hand.
Size: (sheet trimmed slightly unevenly) 27.8 x
42.2 cm; (plate) 22 x 39.5 cm; (image borderline) 20.5 x 38.5 cm.
Numbered and lettered in plate: (upper left) “2” and “1”; (upper right) “3” and “F F.”; (below the image borderline at centre) “IM. TITI JUDAICUS TRIUMPHUS.”
Condition: a strong early impression (based on
the quality of line showing no sign of wear to the printing plate) with reasonably
wide margins and a flattened centrefold (as published) laid onto a support of
archival (millennium quality) washi paper. The sheet has hand-written brown ink
notations (faded) and pencil numbers in the margin by an old hand; otherwise,
the sheet is in a good condition with no significant stains or foxing.
I am selling this finely executed interpretation
of a bas relief from the Arch of Titus in Rome showing the Goddess of Victory
holding a laurel wreath over the head of Titus while a team of four horses bedecked
with jewelled necklaces with suspended crescent moons pull the emperor’s chariot
in a procession, for AU$262 (currently US$175.12/EUR158.45/GBP141.61 at the
time of this listing) including postage and handling to anywhere in the world,
but not (of course) any import duties/taxes imposed by some countries.
If you are interested in purchasing this strong
etching that was executed (perhaps interestingly) a few decades after Johannes
(Jan) Vermeer put down his brushes after completing his “Girl with a Pearl
Earring”, please contact me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will send
you a PayPal invoice to make the payment easy.
