Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Inventaire G'n'ral des Dessins du Mus'e du Louvre Et du Mus'e de Versailles, Vol. 2: cole Franaise
Armi les collectionneurs de dessins des si'cles pass's, Everhard Jabach occupe une place 'minente. Son cabinet 'tait d'une vari't' singuli're et d'une incomparable richesse. Mais il ne semble pas avoir r'serv' aux ma+tres franais, dans ses cartons, la place laquelle ils avaient droit. Il ne les n'gligea pas compl'tement, cependant. La collection qu'il vendit au roi, en 1671, comprenait des dessins franais. Ces oeuvres ont constitu' le premier fonds franais du Cabinet royal. A ce titre, elles pr'sentent un grand int'r't pour l'histoire des dessins franais du Louvre. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
