[Very rare large engraving] Gérard Audran (1640-1703). (Dome fresco).
Round engraving consisting of 5 attached parts, 1681, after the dome fresco with the Triumph of the New Testament over the Old Testament by Charles Le Brun (1619-1690) in the chapel of the Château de Sceaux for Jean-Baptiste Colbert (1670, fresco finished in 1674, destroyed at the start of the 19th century), diameter 114.5 cm.
Mounted on modern cloth. Splendid impressions with a lot of contrast, moreover three of the four impressions of the outer prints (around the central print) before the letters in the margin (proof state?), the print with the letters is titled: "Pater Aeternus sedens super pennas Angelorum, haec verba in Baptismate Iesu Christi proferens, Hic est Filius meus dilectus &c."
