Nicolas Roberts del et sculp 16?7 NEED HELP

pattik · August 22nd, 2006, 09:38 AM

I need help in identifing a BR mark on a 17th century hand painted engraving by Nicolas Robert. It is a botanical in an urn and at the bottom of the urn there is an oval with BR and a crown above the letters. I can email a picture if anyone is interested in helping me. The bottom by the urn reads on the left side" N. Robert del .et sculp. and on the right auec. privilege du Roy 16?7. I know all about this artist but don't know what this BR mark is. It also has a # 4 which I believe might be the number of the plate/engraving. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can someone tell me, what does del et sculp mean? I realize it's French. I have, what I believe is an engraving, by the same artist. One side says "N Robert del et sculp. The other side says avec privil de Roy 1673. I understand that this is with the endorsement of the King. What does del et sculp mean and is this an engraving? Thanks so much!

Hi Pattik, I found you when I looked for info on two engravings I just bought. I googles 'avec prinil du roy 1683' and found the site for 'engravings given to Harvard' but that was not helpful. Both of mine are florals in pots [different florals, different containers], but the text on either side seems identical. Mine are pasted to a board with glass in front and a slim piece of brochade going around all sides serving as a frame. They are hung from a gilt cord that emerges from the back-board. So far that's all I have but if I find anything more I'll let you know. Michael

Hi, can anyone help me find out some info on this picture I have by this artist.
It is probally a 5x7 size of an urn with flowers in it and some strange looking faces on the urn. One side says "N Robert del et sculp. The other side says avec privil de Roy 1673.
I was going to throw this out one day and thought I should possibly look into what it is about.
I got this in a box of stuff at an auction.
Thanks for any information.

The translation is "printer and engraver" your art with out seeing it could be
hand-colored copper-plate engravings from a suite of artworks entitled "Diverses Des Fleurs Dessinees et Gravees d' Apres le Natural" or "Recueil Des Fleurs"
Meaning ruffly "Various Flowers designed by or After Natural" and Collection Of flowers"

Hey all!
I have these two paintings by N. Robert del et sculp. I bought these not too long ago for about $200 dollars and I was just wondering if that was a fair price to pay.
They are both wood paintings with the painting right on the wood and framed in wood. The dimensions are 11" by 14". They are both of urns with exotic flowers in them. On the first on the urn has a face on it and the second urn has leaves and dots on it. The writing on it says N. Robert del et sculp and then says "avec privil de Roy 1673".
If anybody has any information on these paintings or any suggestions where to find information on them, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Hi Everibody
Del= the latin word Delineavit (drawn by or more exactly "Name of the artist has drawn that"
Sculp = Idem Sculpsit
Sometimes we can find "Exec" = Execudebat for "Done" (that often means "printed by)
