Firmata da M. Pool (incisore) è tratta dal quarto tomo del Histoire de Polybe di Vincent Thuillier e Jean Charles de Folard (1669-1752), stampata ad Amsterdam, Zacharie Chatelain, 1759.
Rara e ricercata edizione delle storie di Polibio tradotte in francese dal benedettino Vincent Thuillier, con il testo riveduto e le note di Folard. Opera profusamente illustrata, e dedicata a Federico di Prussia.
La battaglia del Trasimeno è stato uno degli scontri bellici maggiori della seconda guerra punica, e fu combattuta il mattino del 21 giugno 217 a.C. presso le sponde nord-occidentali del lago Trasimeno tra l'esercito romano, guidato dal console Gaio Flaminio Nepote, e quello cartaginese, al cui comando era Annibale Barca.
Acquaforte, in ottimo stato di conservazione.
Zacharias Chatelain (1690-1754)
|
Zacharias was the young brother of the well known Henri Abraham Chatelain (1684 - 1743), a Huguenot pastor of Parisian origins. He is best known as a Dutch cartographer and more specifically for his cartographic contribution in the seminal seven volume Atlas Historique, published in Amsterdam between 1705 and 1720. Innovative for its time, the Atlas Historique combined fine engraving and artwork with scholarly studies of geography, history, ethnology, heraldry, and cosmography. Some scholarship suggests that the Atlas Historique was not exclusively compiled by Henri Chatelain, as is commonly believed, but rather was a family enterprise involving Henri, his father Zacharie and his brother, also Zacharie.
