Rare Arundel Society Chromolithograph Of The Annunciation

Description

This delightful triptych was drawn and chromolithographed by Christian Schultz (1817-1882) and printed by Hangard Mauge for the first Arundel society publication. After Jan van Eyck Ghent’s altarpiece.

The Arundel Society was founded in London in 1849 and named after the 17th-century art collector, Thomas Howard, the Earl of Arundel. The society’s purpose was to promote knowledge of the artworks of Italian, Flemish, and other European masters.
An interesting fact when Schultz drew and chromolithographed the annunciation it would most likely to have had yellowed and cloudy varnish and had been overpainted.

Restoration of the Ghent altarpiece completed in 2021

These antique chromolithographs are well-collected and are getting harder and harder to find these days.

This antique print is in its original frame and backing board.

Condition

As you would expect from a 19th-century print a little fading but also some staining. Please see the photos as they form part of the description
