KNOEDLER & COMPANY, Inc. 14 East Fifty-seventh Street New York 1933 Catalogue of Eighty-Four Mezzotinto, Stipple and Line -Engravings Exhibited at the Opening of The Springfield Museum of Fine Arts M. Knoedler & Company, Inc. 14 East Fifty-seventh Street New York 1933 CATALOGUE FRENCH LINE ENGRAVINGS OF THE XVIII CENTURY Those who have been endowed by nature with a taste for the lighter forms of art will find in the collection of eighteenth-century French prints a new field replete with unexpected in­ terest and pleasure. Never in the world's history were the mere accessories of existence embellished with such exquisite decoration as then; never, perhaps, was the human eye better trained in the intricacies of felicitous restraint and almost unerring balance. The beautiful estampe. galante. it may easily be affirmed, will maintain its position. Ex­ haling the very spirit of the ancien regime, its charms must ever appeal to lovers of daintiness and grace; whilst at the same time, owing to its accurate delineation of architecture and costume, it is certain to retain an undying interest for the student of the vanished ago."

BRITISH MEZZOTINTO PORTRAITS OF THE XVIII CENTURY The last quarter of the eighteenth century saw mezzo­ tint achieving its greatest triumphs, and these were inspired, for the most part, by the portraits of beau­ tiful women painted by the great group of English por­ trait-painters who were making the period glorious in the history of British art. From the pictures them*. selves, or the prints that reproduce them, we get an aggregate impression of grace, refinement, and beauty as characterizing the period, and no medium brings this home to us as convincingly as mezzotint." — MALCOLM C.

    • > XVIII CENTURY t > Catalogue of Eighteenth Century iWe^otint0 On Exhibition at the Galleries ofMts&xz. J¥l Unoeito & Co, 3SS Fifth Avenue, New York. December igio r HE finest reproductions in black and white ever produced were those made by the XVIII century mezzotint engravers or more properly "Scrapers". Their work translated the tones and values of the orig­ inals so perfectly that one even feels their color. To arrive at this result it required more than the ordinary mechani­ cal skill; they could not make use of a photograph, as they do to-day to assist them, for this process had not then been discovered. The increasing demand and consequent diminished supply of fine impressions has made it almost as difficult to procure certain examples as it is to secure the original paintings. NOTE—First impressions, Artists Proofs, number of­ ten less than 30 perfect copies, owing to the softness of the copper plates. In this epoch they were not steel faced; the discovery not being made until the early part of the XIX century. The exhibition we now have comprises many rare and beautiful impressions, impressions which one seldom sees outside of Museums, among them are duplicates fiom the British Museum Collection which we have been most fortunate in securing. The prices asked are such as they command in England and the continent. Someone very wisely remarked, "It is not the price, it is the being able to get the rare work".

It explores a number of trajectories embarked upon by Boydell and his artists in their collective attempt to promote an English aesthetic. It broadly argues that the Shakespeare Gallery offered an antidote to a variety of perceived problems which had emerged at the Royal Academy over the previous twenty years, defining itself against Academic theory and practice. Identifying and examining the cluster of spatial, ideological and aesthetic concerns which characterised the Shakespeare Gallery, my research suggests that the Gallery promoted a vision for a national art form which corresponded to contemporary senses of English cultural and political identity, and takes issue with current art-historical perceptions about the 'failure' of Boydell's scheme. The introduction maps out some of the existing scholarship in this area and exposes the gaps which art historians have previously left in our understanding of the Shakespeare Gallery.

ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM. [West-central France, late-15th century and southern France circa 1550]. This remarkable manuscript was purchased, completed and illuminated by Denis Faucher (1487-1562), and is made up of two distinct components: the frst part, pages 1-318, is a Book of Hours written in the 15th century, while pages 320-386 were added around the middle of the 16th century. With, possibly, a few minor exceptions the entire manuscript was illuminated at the later date. The presence of Sts. Leodegar and Radegund in the Litany may indicate that the 15th-century unilluminated manuscript was intended for Poitiers (Vienne). Illumination: The historian Vincentius Barrali drew attention to Faucher’s artistic skill and wrote, “among the foremost works of art of the aforementioned Denis is a book of hours written and delicately adorned with wondrous paintings by Denis’ own hand.” He goes on to quote the note dated 9 April 1554 of the present manuscript. It is quite evident that the principal portion of the manuscript was written in the 15th-century and acquired by Faucher in an unillustrated and undecorated state.

  • The Artistic Trade and Networks of the Italian Community in London Around 1800
    Chapter 5 The Artistic Trade and Networks of the Italian Community in London Around 1800 Camilla Murgia In his caricature of a bas-relief found in Hadrian’s Villa in Tivoli, the artist Benedetto Pastorini (1746–1807) nicely captured how his migration to Britain had impacted him, and more generally what this had meant for Italian artists (Fig. 5.1). Born in Italy in 1746, Pastorini worked with the Adam brothers in the 1760s and early 1770s, thanks to whom he was able to build up an international professional network and consequently move to London.1 A draughtsman and engraver, Pastorini soon integrated into the Italian artistic community of the British capital and began to collaborate with the most archetypal Italian expa- triate artist of this time, Francesco Bartolozzi (1727–1815). Pastorini’s 1778 print epitomises his career as an integral part of a commercial network built upon the transfer of aesthetic values from one country to another. In the caption below the print, the engraver refers to the origin of the bas-relief, associating the notion of a common, Roman antiquity with the British: ‘An antique basso- rilevo [sic] found in Hadrian’s Villa evidently of Greek Sculpture. The story seems obscure but antiquarians suppose it to represent some fact relative to antient [sic] britons if so, we have not entirely lost all resemblance to our an- cestors.’ Pastorini never returned to Italy, but kept a close relationship with his home country, as he engraved, some twenty years after this print, a series of drawings by Leonardo da Vinci belonging to the Royal Collection.2 This edition was the product of a collaboration between Italian artists based in London, 1 Robert and John Adam were Scottish architects who sojourned in Rome in the 1750s.

It contains over 50 different tickets, most of Bartolozzi’s output, and a good selection of decorative items. In his own lifetime, and afterwards, the renown of the anglicised Florentine Francisco Bartolozzi eclipsed that of any other living engraver. His work was collected in its own right. Pupils flocked to him from all over Europe and his name was falsely attached to all kinds of cheap copies (mainly produced in Austria and Italy) in order to increase their value. He set up on his own account in Venice, working chiefly for Wagner and the Remondini and was there recruited by the English King’s librarian, Richard Dalton, who was buying pictures and drawings for George III, to draw copies for Royal approval. Some of his prints after Guercino and Castiglione were made at this time for that purpose. Dalton eventually persuaded Bartolozzi to move to London. He arrived in England at a time when the London art trade was just taking off on a sharp upward trend that soon had it dominating the world.
