“Huge engraving ‘The Last Judgment,’
Peter DE JODE (1570-1634) after Jean COUSIN THE ELDER (circa 1522; circa 1594).
First edition in 1615; this print between 1726 and 1738.

Assembly ofvery beautiful proofs bearing the inscription "JOHANNES COUSIN SENONIENCISINVENIT ET PINXIT, PETRUS DE IODE IN AES INCIDIT A PARIS CHEZ P. DREVET AUXGALLERIES."
This is a work of which Jean Cousin the son (c. 1522-c. 1594) is the creator and painter (invenit et pinxit) and Peter de Jode (1570-1634) the engraver (incidit).The inscription also tells us that these engravings are in Paris, at the home of Pierre Drevet (1663-1738) who was housed in the Louvre (hence the term"aux Galleries").
* A similar engraving identical to ours with the same inscription is referenced in the database of the Ministry of Culture as being preserved in Normandy in Avranches, church of Saint-Gervais-Saint-Protais https://pop.culture.gouv.fr/notice/palissy/PM50012631

* Finally, a painting after the original by Jean Cousin on this composition, was painted c. 1585 for the convent of the Minimes of Vincennes and is today preserved in the Louvre Museum (145 x 142), Inv 3445.
Dimensions :
142*121 cm (visible)
Condition :
Complete with its 9 engravings, without the 3 pages of text, as was sometimes done.
"A previous owner of the set, now in Princeton, framed the 9 plates illustrating The Last Judgment, leaving the 3 text plates in another frame. Other sets, like the one at the National Library of France [below], are framed with the text included."
Old lining, foxing throughout the work, large humidity stains, tears, spots, small miscellaneous damages, holes and missing parts,... Please check photos
Even if the condition of this exceptional engraving is quite average or even poor due to its size, its size as well as the incredible precision and fineness of its details make it a standout decorative piece for any large room.
