Nouvelle édition de 4 planches gravées en taille douce, de 1783 à 1786, par des artistes chinois et représentant les palais, pavillons, jardins et pièces d'eau édifiés pour l'empereur K'ien-Long, par les jésuites de la Cour de Chine, sous la direction de Giuseppe Castiglione, de 1737 à 1766. La composition du titre et du texte a été exécutée entièrement à la main par le maître imprimeur Dominique Viglino, à Bourg-la-Reine. Le papier utilisé est un vélin à la forme, en pur chiffon, spécialement fabriqué par le Moulin du Gué.Tirage : 250 exemplaires numérotés.The present set of prints was reproduced in 1977 as a limited edition of 250 copies from the original 1786 edition of copper-plate engravings, commissioned by the Qianlong Emperor.The Qianlong Emperor realised his vision of a new European-style palace with the construction of the Yuanmingyuan (Garden of Perfect Brightness), designed by the Jesuits Giuseppe Castiglione and Michel Benoist. During the height of the Emperor's reign (1736-1795), the Yuanmingyuan was part of an architectural complex which boasted a sheer grandeur of over 320 hectares of land, more than ten times larger than the entire precinct of the Forbidden City. These grounds were known as the 'three hills and five gardens' because they comprised the Yuanmingyuan, Changchunyuan and Qingyiyuan on Longevity Hill; the Jingmingyuan on Jade Fountain Hill; and the Jiyuyuan on the Fragrant Hills.The Qianlong Emperor so adored the Yuanmingyuan that from his reign onwards, the Imperial Court moved to the Yuanmingyuan every year after the Spring Festival (Lunar New Year) and resided there until the sixth month when the heat set in.These key locations and architectural marvels are depicted in the present 20 engravings.

Madame la Comtesse de Castiglione et Napoléon III ou Le bal aux Tuileries le mardi 29 janvier 1856
Paris 1856, 30x24cm, une feuille sous marie-louise.
Encre originale signée et datée de Charles Robert, intitulée "Madame la Comtesse de Castiglione et Napoléon III ou Le bal aux Tuileries le mardi 29 janvier 1856". Cette encre immortalise la rencontre historique de la Comtesse de Castiglione, alors âgée de 19 ans, et l'empereur Napoléon III au cours d'un bal donné par la princesse Mathilde. Investie par Cavour d'une mission diplomatique délicate, la jeune comtesse était arrivée à Paris dans le but deséduire l'Empereur des Français afin de le rendre sympathique à la cause piémontaise, et ainsi le convertir à l'idée d'une Italie unifiée. Elle entretiendra une célèbre liaison avec l'Empereur qui aura pour conséquence le raffermissement des liens entre la France l'Italie qui prendra fin après l'attentat contre Napoléon III perpétré par des carbonari italiens dans la nuit du 5 au 6 avril 1857. Esthétique représentation des débuts de cette Mata Hari italienne, ambassadrice et espionne au sein de la cour impériale. - Photos sur www.Edition-originale.com -
