Johann Theodor de Bry

Christi Triumphus (The Triumph of Christ), after Titian (c. 1488-1576)

This engraving by Johann Theodor de Bry reproduces Titian's monumental composition depicting Christ's triumph, translated from paint into the linear medium of intaglio printing around the turn of the seventeenth century. The impression is remarkably crisp and well preserved, with sharp detail throughout and minimal wear, though the print shows modest signs of age including handling creases and scattered foxing along with minor restoration to the upper left. The work originates from the distinguished collection of Professor David Davies, a noted scholar of Spanish painting whose expertise encompassed the masterworks of Velázquez and his contemporaries.

Medium
Engraving, circa 1580-1600, an excellent crisp impression of this scarce print, all the details printing clearly with little sign of wear, sheet 76 x 378 mm (3 x 14 3/4 in), trimmed within the platemark to the borderline, small area of careful restoration to loss replaced with some pen facsimile in the upper left corner, some handling creases and spotting (framed: 36.5 x 65 cm), Provenance:, Professor David Davies (1937-2022), a specialist in Spanish painting, in particular in the works of Veláz
