| Notes |
One of seven drawings (drawn on four sheets) on the Château de Madrid drawn by Du Cerceau for this album; see 1972,U.793 for comment on whole series. The rather broad steps are a curiosity, as they were actually narrower; either Du Cerceau reproduced an earlier project or he worked after a model rather than the actual building. For further comment see Boudon/Mignot, 'Jacques Androuet Du Cerceau', Paris 2010, pp.58-63. 2006 Exhibition Label: One of a set of 122 drawings by this leading French architect recording the finest buildings in France. Related etchings were published in Du Cerceau's book, 'Les plus excellents bastiments de France' (1576-79). The drawings were formerly in the Royal Library, presented to the British Museum by George IV. The building represented was built in 1527-40 for François Ier in the Bois de Boulogne west of Paris, but was demolished in the Revolutionary period at the end of the 18th century. Lit.: H. Kurita and M. Koshikawa, in exhib. cat., Nagoya, Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art and Tokyo, National Museum of Western Art, 'French drawings from the British Museum: from Fontainebleau to Versailles', 2002, no. 14 |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||
