Item Details
Description
Sir Jacob Astley portrait. Etcher: Thomas Worlidge (1700-1766), known as 'the English Rembrandt'. Artist: probably after after Van Dyck. Media: etching. Inscription: 'proof' Production date: 1821. Size: 14x22,5 cms. Condition: good. Sir Jacob Astley (1579-1652), royalist army officer and one of the best-known figures of the English civil war. After serving on the continent, Astley was appointed sergeant-major-general in the second bishops' war in 1640. In the civil war Astley led forces of up to 10,000 until his defeat and capture in Stow on the Wold in 1646. After time spent in prison, Astley spent his last years at the Old Palace, Maidstone, which he had inherited from a cousin. Portrait, probably after Van Dyck, etched by Thomas Worlidge (1700-66), 'the English Rembrandt' and a pupil of Alessandro Maria Grimaldi, whose daughter Arabella he married. An artist's proof is an impression of a print taken in the printmaking process to see the current printing state of a plate while the plate (or stone, or woodblock) is being worked on by the artist. There can also be printer's proofs which are taken for the printer to see how the image is printing, or are final impressions the printer is allowed to keep; but normally the term "artist's proof" would cover both cases. Artist's proofs are not included in the count of a limited edition, and sometimes the number of artist's proofs, which belong to the artist, can be twenty or more. By convention, the artist is not supposed to sell these at once.; Sir Jacob Astley portrait. Etcher: Thomas Worlidge (1700-1766), known as 'the English Rembrandt'.
