Allegories on Time and Opportunity for Youth(Аллегории времени и возможностей для молодежи).Theodoor Galle 1612-1633

Опасения для молодых людей в начале 17-го века.Allegories on Time and Opportunity for Youth. 1612-33

Френды- извините, что без перевода и пояснений, я просто не успеваю, а картинки замечательные.

Эта семья из Антверпена хорошо известна тем, кто интересуется старинной графикой. Теодор и Конелиус Galle- сыновья Филиппа Galle, известного гравера и владельца мастерской, где делались гравюры заметных художников и графиков того времени. В 1596 году они поехали в Италию, но в 1612 году Теодору пришлось вернуться, чтобы возглавить семейное дело после смерти отца.



Их мастерская сделала и издала множество ценнейших гравюр,их предшественников и современников- Рубенса и других.
Они сделали бесценный вклад в историю искусства- только в Британском Музее больше 700 листов великолепной графики с подписями "Print made by Theodoor Galle" и его брата, и "Published by Theodoor Galle" и его ближайших родственников.



Это- редкие картинки, в свободном поиске их не было и нет.
Здесь только серия из 12 гравюр о молодежи и три об открытии Америки,есть еще любопытные, выложу их позже.

Мне кажется, что многим будет интересно посмотреть, какие напасти грозили молодым людям начала 17 века и за что их ожидали сатана, ад и кары небесные.

Там очень много символики и аллегорий, надо обращать внимание на каждую деталь- только тогда понятен смысл картинок.

Кто не читает по-английски, можно вставить ссылку на пост в ГУГЛ-переводчик (http://translate.google.ru/?hl=ru&tab=wT, (ссылку на пост вставить в окно и нажать на транслэйт), я просто не успеваю перевести, да и англоязычных читателей у меня много.



Первая картинка утрачена.
