Principi Leopoldo Guil. Archduci &c. Antwerpiae, sumptibus Viduae Abrahami Teniers, 1673. In-f° : [8] pp. et 246 planches dont 6 sur double page (qqs pages fort ou partiellement brunies). Rel. moderne : demi-chagrin rouge à coins, dos fleuronné doré à nerfs, double filet doré sur les plats, tranches dorées (papier des plats élimé et décharge de colle sur les coins, coins frottés).
Rare ouvrage. Inventaire des tableaux de l'école italienne conservés par l'archiduc Léopold-Guillaume, gouverneur général des Pays-Bas de 1646 à 1655, dans son hôtel de Bruxelles, soit 246 cuivres y compris le titre-frontispice (quelques feuilles avec 2 cuivres tirés), une vue de la galerie et le portrait de Teniers in fine.
Le peintre David Teniers II (1610-1690) fut nommé conservateur de la Galerie de l'Archiduc et, en 1651, chambellan, fonctions pour lesquelles il quitta Anvers pour Bruxelles. Entre autres charges, il reçut celle de faire graver tous les tableaux conservés par Léopold-Guillaume. Il fit donc des réductions de ceux-ci afin que les graveurs n'aient plus qu'à les reporter sur leurs cuivres mais le départ de l'Archiduc pour ses terres natales empêchèrent Teniers de mener à bien sa tâche et seuls les tableaux de l'école italienne furent immortalisés. On trouve donc dans cet ouvrage, des oeuvres de Raphaël, Bellino (6), Giorgione (13), da Vinci, Corregio, Le Padouan, Polidor de Venise (5), Hannibal Carrache (4), Le Titien (47), Le Tintoret (13), Veronese (15), Sciavone (16), Les Palma (42), Fetti (10), Bassano (23)... Les dimensions des tableaux sont données ainsi que le nom de l'artiste et celui du graveur (Lucas Vosterman, Troÿen, Q. Boel, van Kessel...).
Dans la préface, il est dit que l'Archiduc conservait autant d'oeuvres italiennes que "belges" et de citer les noms de van Dijck, van Ostade, van Orlay, Caspar de Crayer, Cornelius de Vos, Erasmus Quilinus (beau-frère de Teniers), Snijders, Franciscus Floris, Pourbus, van Valckenburgh, Gerard Seghers, Bosch, Henri met de Bles, Bol, Breughel, van Eyck, Jordaens, Briel, Philippe de Champagne, Saverijs, Vranckx, etc. Dürer, Bartholomeus Spranger, Holbein... sont également nommés.
