Note:	Claude Donat Jardinier: An eighteenth century French engraver, Claude Donat Jardinier studied art under Nicolas Dupuis and engraving and etching under Le Bas. During his career Jardinier excelled at religious depictions and genre studies. His most famous engravings include The Virgin and Child (The Nativity) (after Maratti), La Tricoteuse endormie (after Greuze), Les Caresses reciproques (after Jeaurat) and Soldats jouant aux cartes (after Valentin).
	Around 1750, Claude Donat Jardinier was invited to Dresden to engrave several plates for the Recueil d'estampes d'apres les plus celebres tableaux ....; now usually referred to as The Dresden Gallery . This beautiful engraving of The Virgin and Child (The Nativity) designed by Carlo Maratti (Carlo Maratta) was one of the large pieces he created there.
	The Dresden Gallery: The Recueil d'estampes d'apres les plus celebres tableaux de la Galerie Royale de Dresde (The Dresden Gallery) represents a high point of mid to late eighteenth century engraving. Beginning around 1750 Dresden printers began inviting artists to engrave the masterworks at the Dresden Gallery. The size and scope of the endeavor is reflected in the international representation of the commissioned engravers. These included Jean Daulle (France, 1703-1763), Anna Folkema (Holland, 1695-1768), Karl Ludwig Wust (Germany, flourished, 1750-1760), Giuseppe Camerata (Italy, 1718-1803) and Claude Donat Jardinier (France, 1726-1774). Upon completion each of these large engravings was printed with titles in both Italian and French and bore the engraved seal of the Dresden Gallery along the lower margin. In 1753 the first fifty engravings were published as Volume One in a large elephant folio format. The second fifty engravings were completed in 1757 and issued as Volume Two. With their brilliant techniques of tone and texture most of these engravings were eagerly sought after in most major European centres.
	Almost four decades after the completion of these sets a further fifty engravings were produced by the Dresden Gallery. Engraved mostly by German artists such as Christian Gottfried Schulze (1749-1819) and Heinrich Friedrich Laurin (1756-1830), these later works mainly dealt with the master works of landscape painting in the gallery. When this set was published (c. 1795), the earlier two sets were also reprinted. This original engraving hails from this edition.
