ART IN FLANDERS AND BRABANT 1769. DESCAMPS, JEAN BAPTISTE. Voyage pittoresque de la Flandre et du Brabant, avec des réflexions relativement aux arts & quelques gravures. A Paris, chez Desaint - Saillant - Pissot - Durand, 1769.
8vo. 196 x 117 mm. XXII, (2), 328, (11) pp. 5 engraved plates, 1 folding engraved map. Engraved vignette on 5th page. Title printed with red and black. Contemporary calf with gilt spine with red label and raised bands, gilt-framed boards and red-sprinkled yellow edges. Boards slightly skewed, front board with faint stains. Apart from some faint foxing a clean copy.

Jean Baptiste Descamps (1706-1791), French painter and author, headed a drawing school in Rouen. He´s more famous for his writing than for his art. His biographical work La vie des peintres flamands, allemands et hollandais I-IV (1753-63) was for some time considered the standard text on the subject, but has since been outdated.

Provenance: Sten Ringselle (1949-2017), Swedish antiquarian bookdealer who in 1992 opened his shop Antiquaria in Gothenburg.
