Claude Du Bosc

January 01, 1970

Claude Du Bosc (also spelled Dubosc and DuBosc; c. 1682–c. or after 1746)[1] was a French engraver, publisher, and printseller who spent much of his career in London. Associated with French contemporaries such as the painter Antoine Watteau[2] and the draftsman Hubert-François Gravelot,[3] Du Bosc belonged to the first wave of skilled engravers to arrive in London during the early 18th century, playing a major part in improving the standard of English printmaking of that era.[4]

Life edit

Nothing known of Du Bosc's early life and work; it has been usually thought since the late-19th century that Du Bosc was born in France c. 1682,[1] likely of Protestant background.[5] In Roger Portalis [fr] and Henri Béraldi's view, also from the late-19th century, Du Bosc studied engraving under Bernard Picart;[6] an alternate point supposes him to be an associate of Gaspard Duchange.[7] The earliest secure mentions of Du Bosc date to c. 1712–1713, when he produced two plates for Duchange's 1714 publication of Recueil de cent estampes représentant différentes nations du Levant after Jean Baptiste Vanmour.[8] Also published by Duchange are two early prints by Du Bosc, Apollo Visiting Thetis and Leto and the Lycian peasants, both after Jean Jouvenet.[9]

At some point c. 1712–1713,[10] Du Bosc and Charles Dupuis moved to England, requested to assist Nicholas Dorigny in engraving the Raphael Cartoons at Hampton Court.[11] As George Vertue's notebooks state, Du Bosc and Dupuis quarrelled with Dorigny and left his employ before the work was complete.[12] Later in London, Du Bosc told Dupuis that he would stay for some time before moving to France; actually, Vertue recounts, Du Bosc had decided to settle in England, so he wanted Dupuis, a more capable and thus unlikely engraver to compete with, to depart alone to Paris.[13]

In February 1714, Du Bosc undertook with Louis Du Guernier to engrave a series of plates illustrative of the battles of the Duke of Marlborough and Prince Eugene.[14] He sent to Paris for two more engravers, Bernard Baron and Beauvais, to assist him on the work, which was completed in 1717.[15]

George Vertue states that towards the end of 1729 Baron and Du Bosc went over to Paris, Du Bosc wishing to arrange matters relating to the trade of print-selling, as he had now set up a shop, and that Vanloo then painted both their portraits, which they brought back to England.[16] From Vertue's notebooks, it is known that in c. 1726, Du Bosc also sat for another portrait, painted by John Smibert.[17]

In 1733, Dubosc published an English edition of Bernard Picart's Religious Ceremonies of All Nations, some of the plates being engraved by himself; he also invited a younger artist Hubert-François Gravelot for assistance.[18][19]: 324  His other prints included Apollo and Thetis and The Vengeance of Latona, after Jouvenet; some of the Labours of Hercules and The Sacrifice of Iphigenia, after Louis Cheron; The Head of Pompey brought to Cæsar, after Bernard Picart;[20] The Continence of Scipio,[21][22] after Poussin; The Temple of Solomon, after Parmentière; a portrait of Bonaventura Giffard,[23] and numerous book illustrations, including numerous plates for Rapin's History of England (1743).[24] By 1743, Du Bosc was said by Vertue to be an associate of the Rose and Crown Club;[25] according to Timothy Clayton's 2004 entry published in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Du Bosc was last mentioned in the May 1746 issue of the British Magazine, as a publisher for a plan of the Battle of Culloden.[26]: 126 

Later in the 18th century, Joseph Strutt described him as "an engraver of no great merit", adding that "his style of engraving is coarse and heavy; and the drawing of the naked parts of the figure in his plates is exceedingly defective";[27] Strutt's point has been long reiterated.[28]

  1. ^ a b In a widely represented point, Cust 1888, p. 80, cited in Treydel 2001, p. 79, establishes c. 1682 and c. 1745 as respective datings of Du Bosc's birth and death. In a different point, Herold & Vuaflart 1929, p. 93, states that there are no actual datings for that. In light of the 1746 mention in the British Magazine, recent sources such as Clayton 2004, p. 17 and Gatrell 2013, p. 393, date Du Bosc's death c. or after 1746.

Claude Du Bosc also spelled Dubosc and DuBosc c 1682 c or after 1746 1 was a French engraver publisher and printseller who spent much of his career in London Associated with French contemporaries such as the painter Antoine Watteau 2 and the draftsman Hubert Francois Gravelot 3 Du Bosc belonged to the first wave of skilled engravers to arrive in London during the early 18th century playing a major part in improving the standard of English printmaking of that era 4 Claude Du BoscBornc 1682 Kingdom of FranceDiedc or after 1746London Kingdom of Great BritainNationalityFrenchBritishEducationBernard PicartKnown forprintmakingpublishingprintsellingMovementRose and Crown Club Contents 1 Life 2 Gallery 3 Notes 4 References 5 SourcesLife editNothing known of Du Bosc s early life and work it has been usually thought since the late 19th century that Du Bosc was born in France c 1682 1 likely of Protestant background 5 In Roger Portalis fr and Henri Beraldi s view also from the late 19th century Du Bosc studied engraving under Bernard Picart 6 an alternate point supposes him to be an associate of Gaspard Duchange 7 The earliest secure mentions of Du Bosc date to c 1712 1713 when he produced two plates for Duchange s 1714 publication of Recueil de cent estampes representant differentes nations du Levant after Jean Baptiste Vanmour 8 Also published by Duchange are two early prints by Du Bosc Apollo Visiting Thetis and Leto and the Lycian peasants both after Jean Jouvenet 9 At some point c 1712 1713 10 Du Bosc and Charles Dupuis moved to England requested to assist Nicholas Dorigny in engraving the Raphael Cartoons at Hampton Court 11 As George Vertue s notebooks state Du Bosc and Dupuis quarrelled with Dorigny and left his employ before the work was complete 12 Later in London Du Bosc told Dupuis that he would stay for some time before moving to France actually Vertue recounts Du Bosc had decided to settle in England so he wanted Dupuis a more capable and thus unlikely engraver to compete with to depart alone to Paris 13 In February 1714 Du Bosc undertook with Louis Du Guernier to engrave a series of plates illustrative of the battles of the Duke of Marlborough and Prince Eugene 14 He sent to Paris for two more engravers Bernard Baron and Beauvais to assist him on the work which was completed in 1717 15 George Vertue states that towards the end of 1729 Baron and Du Bosc went over to Paris Du Bosc wishing to arrange matters relating to the trade of print selling as he had now set up a shop and that Vanloo then painted both their portraits which they brought back to England 16 From Vertue s notebooks it is known that in c 1726 Du Bosc also sat for another portrait painted by John Smibert 17 In 1733 Dubosc published an English edition of Bernard Picart s Religious Ceremonies of All Nations some of the plates being engraved by himself he also invited a younger artist Hubert Francois Gravelot for assistance 18 19 324 His other prints included Apollo and Thetis and The Vengeance of Latona after Jouvenet some of the Labours of Hercules and The Sacrifice of Iphigenia after Louis Cheron The Head of Pompey brought to Caesar after Bernard Picart 20 The Continence of Scipio 21 22 after Poussin The Temple of Solomon after Parmentiere a portrait of Bonaventura Giffard 23 and numerous book illustrations including numerous plates for Rapin s History of England 1743 24 By 1743 Du Bosc was said by Vertue to be an associate of the Rose and Crown Club 25 according to Timothy Clayton s 2004 entry published in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography Du Bosc was last mentioned in the May 1746 issue of the British Magazine as a publisher for a plan of the Battle of Culloden 26 126 Later in the 18th century Joseph Strutt described him as an engraver of no great merit adding that his style of engraving is coarse and heavy and the drawing of the naked parts of the figure in his plates is exceedingly defective 27 Strutt s point has been long reiterated 28 Gallery editSelected prints by Claude Du Bosc nbsp Turkish Girl Sewing plate from the Nations du Levant after Jean Baptiste Vanmour Public Library New York City 29 nbsp Apollo Visiting
