Theodore van Thulden (1606-1669) The Works of Ulysses, taught by Sieur De Sainct Martin, as they are seen in the Royal House of Fontainebleau. Painted by Sieur Nicolas, and engraved in copper by Theodor van-Tulden. With the subject & the moral explanation of each figure. A Paris, chez Melchior Tavernier [...], 1639 (the 1st edition dating from 1633). An oblong bound album, [290 x 420], containing a title, a warning and 58 etched plates. Proofs trimmed to the plate and pasted on laid paper. Large red or brown spots to some. Occasional small holes or tears. Plate 24, double and folded, largely torn. Small loss at the bottom right of plate 36. Missing in the subject on pl. 55. Missing most of the text leaves (only two remain, unbound). Parchment binding (very faded). The Flemish Catholic engraver Theodore van Thulden was a student of Rubens and lived in Fontainebleau. These engravings are the only surviving representations of the frescoes painted on the theme of the Odyssey at the Château de Fontainebleau by Primaticcio (for the drawings) and Niccolò dell'Abate (for the color). The Gallery of Ulysses was destroyed in 1738 by order of Louis XV.
