"Aux amateurs de la peinture, du dessein & de la gravure" (To the lovers of painting, design & engraving) is a 1751 print by Dutch artist Jan Punt (1711-1779). The print, which is currently part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum, is a detailed and ornate piece of text that praises the arts of painting, drawing, and engraving. The work is written in French and uses a formal, poetic style that was characteristic of the time. It is likely a frontispiece for a book on the subject of art.
