Text Appearing Before Image:
tial to beauty, but there is a wide difference betweensuch as were executed at Rome, or shortly after his return to Paris—as, for example, the figure dedie au Prince de Waldeck, thefour designs of lAge dOr, or the study for a bas-relief of hisfamous fountain—and his later work. It is no doubt the precisecharacter of his handling that brought Bouchardon his popularitywith engravers. At Rome he drew the Pierres gravees ofStosch ; on his return to Paris, he helped de Caylus with Sujetsdapres lAntique; in 1737 he published Statues Antiquesdessinees a Rome,5 as well as the well-known Livre dAcademies,which appeared chez Huquier,6 who brought out a year later,Bouchardons Apollon et les Muses. His Venus et Cupid, a 1 P. V., 29 May, 1762. s M6m. Cochin, p. 56. 3 Ibid., p. 99. * See also In. geti. Mon. civ., t. ii., p. 37, and A. Roserot, pp. 188, 189; G. B.A., 1897. 5 The engravers of this series were Gautrel and Joullain. The frontispiece of this work was engraved by J. B. Perronneau. 80
Text Appearing After Image:
Equestrian Statue of Louis XV. By Edme Bouchardon To face p. 78 companion design to the Leda, published by Fessard, is dedi- Edmecated to Count Tessin, but classical subjects sometimes lost their J^0*attraction, for, after an illustration of Fontenelle, he suddenly sur-prises us with a most amusing series of the Cris de Paris, 1 andfurnishes St. Aubin with the frontispiece to de Lagardes Journalde Musique. 2 It is, indeed, impossible here to note more than a few of thesubjects furnished by Bouchardon to the engravers of his day, butto those already cited, ought, perhaps, to be added the set of the Five Senses, and the admirable series of the Elements, en-graved by Preisler, to whom he also intrusted his drawings of Statues modernes a Rome. Of his paintings, such as the Sainte Vierge, an engraving of which, in the Cabinet desEstampes, bears the legend, Bouchardon pinx1, nothing is known,nor are any mentioned in the catalogue of the sales of his effectswhich took place after his death.
