De Jonge Stier by Paulus Potter
Antique mixed method engraving by Alexandre Liernur C1805 after Paulus Potter.
Alexandre Liernur (Dutch; 1769-1815) Student of several painters. He went to Rome in 1794 as a \"pensionnaire\" of the Dutch Prins Willem II. He returned early in 1796 because of the political situation in Italy. In the period 1801-1802 he was in Paris where he made watercolor drawings of paintings in the Louvre.
Back in Holland he continued with watercolor, but as one of the first and few in the Netherlands he also mastered the aquatint techniques. This technique was introduced from England and it was a very difficult, expensive and time consuming technique.
The aquatints he made after his own designs made him famous. In 1797 he became a member of the Painters Society: 'Ars Aemula Naturae'. His famous aquatint after 'The young bull' by P. Potter was made for the Amsterdam Painters Society: 'Felix Meritis'.

Antique Print of the famous soul painting “The Young Bull” (Dutch: De jonge stier) or The Bull (Dutch: De stier) is an oil painting of a bull by Paulus Potter. It is in the collection of the Mauritshuis in The Hague in the Netherlands.
The painting is signed and dated 1647 meaning that Potter, who was born in November 1625, was only 22 when pleted it; he died in 1654, before he reached 30. The painting was highly admired in the 18th and 19th centuries; in the 1870s the French artist and critic Eugène Fromentin asserted confidently that it, Rembrandt's The Night Watch, and his The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp (also in the Mauritshuis) were the three most famous paintings in the Netherlands.
The bull was a symbol of prosperity to the Dutch, hitherto overlooked in art, and apart from the horse was by far the monly shown animal in Dutch Golden Age painting; goats were used to indicate Italy. This is an enormous and famous portrait which was in the Prince William V Gallery collection that Napoleon took to Paris in 1795 and through a later treaty was returned in 1815. It hung in the Louvre for 20 years. Livestock analysts have noted from the depiction of the various parts of the bull's anatomy that it appears to be posite of studies of six different animals from widely different ages.
