€100.00
Tax included
Original engraving of the Hermitage of San Miquel de Mata, Mataró (Barcelona).
Provenance: Painterly and Historical Voyage of Spain. A descendant of Spaniards on his father's side, Alexander Laborde came to Spain as an attaché at the embassy of Lucian Bonaparte and toured the peninsula between 1800 and 1805 as an archaeologist. The result of his study of numerous monuments is his work Painterly and Historical Voyage of Spain, a monumental, precise, erudite, and very careful work. Its four volumes contain a compendium of political and civil history, many archaeological monuments, and more than 900 engravings thanks to the collaboration of great draftsmen and engravers. This meant a huge cost to print, so he had to resort to the support of King Charles IV and other European courts, and even seriously compromised his personal fortune.
