Fuhring, 1989, 332, writing of the set of sixteen in Amsterdam, and with reference to J. Lieure, \u201cRen\u00e9 Boyvin: Additions aux catalogues de Robert-Dumesnil, Duplessis et F\u00e9lix Herbet,\u201d l\u2019Amateur<\/em>, IX, 1930, 2, 43-44, states that the set was first published with twenty prints; four plates were lost in an early phase: 5, Neptune<\/em>; 6, Thetis<\/em>; 15, Hercules<\/em>; 16, Hebe<\/em>; thus the set of sixteen has the last four renumbered as follows: 17, Bacchus<\/em>, became no. 15; 18, Ariadne<\/em>, became no. 5; 19, Vulcan<\/em>, became no. 16; and 20, Pallas<\/em>, became no. 6.<\/p>\n

LITERATURE:<\/p>\n

Renouvier, 1854, 919, probably means this set as Boyvin\u2019s copies of Caraglio\u2019s Gods in Niches<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Berliner, 1925-1926, I, 130, 1-2; 131, 1-4; 132, 1-4; 133, 1; Text Volume, 43-44 (nos. 1-6, 9, 12-15 of the series, State I).<\/p>\n

D\u00f6ry, 1960, 31, no. 129 (16 prints, State II).<\/p>\n

Wagner, 1979, 152-159, 268, Figs. 6-8.<\/p>\n

T.R. Hackford in Ornament<\/em>, 1980, 32-33, nos. 29a and 29b, Pl. XVII (R-D. 119 and 120), as Boyvin after Thiry.<\/p>\n

Patrick Ramade, in Renaissance<\/em>, Quebec, 1984, 292-294, Figs. (Rennes, State II), as Boyvin after Thiry.<\/p>\n

L\u00e9v\u00eaque, 1984, 34, Figs. (Rennes), as after Thiry.<\/p>\n

K. Wilson-Chevalier, in Fontainebleau<\/em>, 1985, 202-204, no. 147, Mars<\/em> (Paris), as Boyvin after Thiry.<\/p>\n

Massari, 1989, 119, 120, as Boyvin after Thiry, based on Caraglio\u2019s Gods in Niches<\/em> after Rosso.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This series of prints is one of the major sources of our knowledge of L\u00e9onard Thiry\u2019s art.<\/p>\n

Although they have generally been recognized as engraved by Boyvin, Metman (1941, 206, 211, 313) suggested that they were by Milan and are the twenty plates of his \u201cLes Amours des dieux\u201d that were made before 29 March 1550.\u00a0 Zerner (1969, XXXV, n. 3, and in EdF<\/em>, 1972, 332, no. 434, 333, 335, under no. 441) did not accept this identification.\u00a0 He believed their engraving style is close to Boyvin\u2019s but found it strange that they are not signed by him.\u00a0 Borea (1980, 248, under no. 618) thought they were derived from Caraglio\u2019s Gods in Niches<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Very few of the figures of the gods and goddesses are related, and then only slightly, to Caraglio\u2019s Gods in Niches<\/em>.\u00a0 Only Proserpina<\/em> is closely related to Caraglio\u2019s print of this goddess.\u00a0 See also under E.26-45<\/a>, DERIVATIONS, PRINTS.<\/p>\n

Number 5, Neptune<\/em>, of the first set, that Herbet thought was lost, along with Thetis<\/em>, Hercules<\/em>, and Hebe<\/em>, survives in an impression in Vienna, F.I.3, p.36b, no. 129 (Fig.Neptune, Vienna<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
