France. An original lithograph from Les Maîtres de l’Affiche.

London: John Boydell, 1769. Three 1769 Engravings by Jean-Baptiste-Claude Chatelain: Castel Gandolfo; A Land-Storm; and Follow Me and I Will Make You Fishers of Men All three of these prints are the work of British engraver Jean-Baptiste-Claude Chatelain (1710–1771). Chatelain (whose name is often spelled “Chatelin” under engravings) was employed by publisher John Boydell in London, and with François Vivares produced a number of landscape engravings after works by masters such as Rembrandt. To boost sales, Boydell often capitalized on Vivares’ popularity and credited him on plates engraved by Chatelain alone. The French engraver François Vivares (1709–1780) set up shop in London at the age of 18. François Vivares engraved some 160 plates, most of which were published by John Boydell. The intermediary draftsman Joseph Goupy (French, ca. 1700–1782) also collaborated on all three of these prints. All three were published by the British publisher John Boydell (Shropshire 1720–1804 London) in or about 1769.
