About the Item
The Story Of Noah is an original series of 6 artworks realized by Anonymous artist in 1768.
Original etchings and burin. Posthumous hand-watercolored.
The series consists of 6 plates dedicated to the Stories of Noah published in Bassano del Grappa (Vicenza, Italy) at the famous Stamperia Remondini.
Good conditions of the plates except for folds along the margins and ripples of paper and some missing parts on one of the plates.
All the plates are characterized by a fresh coloring, which allows you to fully enjoy the expressive richness of the depicted scene, full of emphasis and liveliness.
Each artwork has the Latin and Spanish title of the single scene, print on the lower center, and on the sides a brief description of the scene and the protagonists.
Episodes: Noe Venum bibit et ine briatur, Noe Arcam construit, Noe egreditur ex arca, Noe post diluvium sacrificat deo.
Designed by an anonymous author, the series, together with three other devotional themes to compose a suite of 28 tables, was highly successful, appearing in the various catalogs of the printing press. After the first attribution to Giovanni Volpato, the engravings dedicated to Patriarch Noah were ascribed to the production of an anonymous engraver of good timbre and style. It is presumable, as mentioned in the recent bibliography (Boschloo, 1998), that the motif has been taken from other slabs always published by the same Remondini but of better workmanship and sometimes taken from cultured models, the so-called fine prints, often having reduced dimensions. The title in Latin and Spanish is a testimony to the important commercial activity of the Remondinis, active throughout Europe with offices in the main cities, and of the circularity of the most easily proposed sheets on the market (ordinary prints), often enriched by mask or hand coloring. In fact, the Bassano chalcography was affirmed above all for the production of popular prints with devotional character; although not presenting any distinct originality, in the choice of the subject as well as in the iconographic and compositional choices, these sheets were however much appreciated by the public, taking up motifs in vogue in the Flemish, French and German sphere. The Remondini exported their editorial "products" to the East, to Russia, to South America and brought almost unknown images to Europe, contributing to a cultural exchange of considerable importance. The colors used are recurrent, as in this table, sometimes enlivened by golden highlights; reiterated motif according to a certain formal choice is the frame within which the main image is inserted: these are rich floral or mixtilinear frames, which became almost a "trademark" of Remondini. Starting in 1756 the Bassanese firm obtained from the Cinque Savi of Venice the dispensation with respect to the affixing of the printer's name. The most requested subjects were proposed in different formats, responding to the different needs of the market.

- Hand Colored Etching Vintage Hollywood Legends Etching with Watercolor PaintingBy Ann ChernowLocated in Surfside, FLTitled: Avalon Ann Chernow (Connecticut b. 1936) etching. hand signed 'Ann Chernow' in pencil lower right. Numbered '5/15' in pencil lower left. Titled in pencil lower center. Sheet measures 18-in. x 24-in. Image is smaller. please see photos. Ann Chernow, née Levy, born 1936 in New York City, is known for her portrait-style illustrations that evoke the images of female cinematic figures of the 1930s and 1940s. Born and raised in New York City, Chernow studied music and art from a young age and acquired an affinity for the arts. Chernow was exposed to several movies that left a lasting impression and prompted her to make the likenesses of leading ladies. Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer and Katharine Hepburn were the subjects of some of her works in the late 1990s. Chernow has worked extensively in the mediums of lithograph, silkscreen, etching, and colored pencil. Her first formal art education was at the Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester in the early 1940s, where she attended art classes in the museum galleries. After her family moved to Flushing in 1946, she studied under a local Italian painter, Giuseppe Trotta. Years after taking lessons with Trotta, Chernow eventually entered the School of Fine Arts at Syracuse University in 1953, but transferred soon after to New York University, where she earned her Master of Arts degree in 1969. As an undergraduate and graduate at NYU (1955–69), Chernow studied under the direction of several artists. Her instructors and mentors included Howard Conant, Jules Olitski, Irving Sandler, Lawrence Alloway and Hale Woodruff, all of whom influenced her through their teachings and artistic viewpoints. Toward the end of her academic education and for a few years afterwards, she worked for the art educator Victor D’Amico, and taught at the studio school of the Museum of Modern Art (1966–71). In the 1950s, Chernow’s style was centered on colorful abstractions, which were influenced by Jean Dubuffet, who was famous during that period. She subsequently dabbled in a variety of styles in the 1970s, including pop art, huge billboard paintings, sepia drawings of individual women and colored pencil drawings. Feminist art. Already in 1968, she had begun to explore lithography, although she only began to work seriously in printmaking (both lithography and etching) in 1978. She reached the height of her career with a number of evocative paintings in the late 1980s and early 1990s, which depicted starlets of the 1930s and 1940s, as in Artist and Models (1998). In these later works, Chernow used close-ups of women who were quickly passed by the camera, as opposed to celebrated vintage Hollywood film...Category
