И его же-"The Genre of the Monstrous"




























The Genre of the Monstrous (Set)

The British Museum Prints Database entry refers to this 1638 suite of prints as: "Set of twelve grotesque figures representing the twelve months of the year, printed probably from four plates in four strips of three figures each" that were "probably meant to be printed or pasted onto a folding map".





















Denis Boutemie, orfèvre - print made by Nicolas Cochin 1658

The series is by Denis Boutemie (or Denise or Daniel Boutemy aka Dionisio Bottonieri), a French jeweller, goldsmith and print engraver. Background details are sparse on the web, but his father was a goldsmith and it was through his contacts that Denis obtained work as a goldsmith in Rome for extended periods in the first few decades of the 17th century. He was active as an engraver (as he was best known in France) from 1619 until after 1658.

The prints have both the occasional obscure allegorical as well as obvious satirical dimension, by turns mocking dandies or presenting seasonal motifs; although the references tend to dissolve into grotesque absurdity - and happily so - in the spirit of Jacques Callot and François Desprez (see: one, two for eg.), among others.
