Hieronymus Cock (1510-1570) : printmaker and publisher in Antwerp at the Sign of the Four Winds (Ph.D. dissertation, Yale University, 1971; Garland Outstanding Dissertations in the Fine Arts)
New York & London, Garland Publishing Inc., 1977(21 cm), (4) (ii) xxxii, 416 pp., 205 numbered illustrations on [68] leaves of plates. Publisher’s cloth binding (no dust jacket issued). - “Following a survey of the origins and early development of print publishing, Cock’s life and his work as an artist are described, and the history of his publishing house, the Quatre Vents, is recounted, with an account of its internal operations. Next, the body of prints it issued is studied from several points of view. The interaction of the styles of the various engravers and etchers working for Cock is examined, with particular emphasis on the influence of the Italian engraver Giorgio Ghisi on the engravers and that of Cock himself on the etchers. The role of the Quatre Vents in the dissemination of knowledge about Italian and antique art in northern Europe is assessed. Certain new trends in print publishing characteristic of the Quatre Vents are studied: the major place given to suites of ornament, architectural, and landscape prints; two sets of prints with political significance (The Victories of Charles V and The Funeral Procession of Charles V); and two collections of portraits, the first of contemporary European rulers and the second of eminent Dutch and Flemish painters. The significance of the suite of prints as a form of publication is briefly discussed. Finally, Cock’s aims and influence as a publisher are considered: the market which existed for his prints, their use by artists and others, and the further development of print publication in Flanders in the late 16th and early 17th centuries” (author’s abstract). ¶ Fine copy. -

In 1932 the Cabinet des Estampes of the Bibliothèque royale de Belgique obtained from the Joseph Havenith collection more than 500 prints of the Wierix brothers. At the time of their acquisition, Mauquoy-Hendrickx was a librarian in the Bibliothèque royale; in 1949, she was appointed adjunct curator of the Cabinet des Estampes, and in 1960 she became curator in succession to Louis Lebeer. During these years and after her retirement in 1971, Mauquoy-Hendrickx studied the Wierix prints in more than 100 collections, painstakingly identifying states, variants, and copies. The results of her research are presented here. “It is a work which it would be difficult to over praise… I have little hesitation in calling this the finest catalogue of old master prints produced since the Second World War” (from a review by Antony Griffiths, in The Burlington Magazine, volume 126, 1984, pp.702-703). ¶ Slight shelfwear.
