Giovanni Ottaviani
Italian 18th Century Hand-Colored Engraving on Paper of Raphael Vatican Loggias
1772-1777

About the Item

This beautiful copperplate engraving on paper engraved by Giovanni Ottaviani (Rome 1735-1808) after the designs of the painter Gaetano Savorelli and of the architect Pietro Camporesi , is hand-finished with watercolor and gouache painting and date back to Neoclassical period with a formal sense of the Renaissance style. This engraving is the plate VIII of the original 16th century frescoes painted by Raffaello on the main storey of Pope’s private apartments in Vatican. In 1518 Pope Leo X commissioned Raphael for a master work that remains unparalleled in artistic decorative and architectural history: to decorate with frescoes the walls, ceilings, vaulted arcade(loggia), arches and doors of his private apartments of the Vatican. The idea of creating a work divided into three parts that reproduced, in "imperial" sheets engraved and colored with the watercolor, the complete series of all the original painted decorations of the Vatican Loggias of Raphael was born around 1760. The work begun in 1772 and ended in 1777, it was undertaken to satisfy the renewed 18th Century interest in the classical themes found in the Renaissance and these series of prints has been a source for architects and designers throughout the years. The work was commissioned to great masters of art, such as the painter Gaetano Savorelli, the draftsman Ludovico Teseo, the architect Pietro Camporesi, and was engraved by the famous engravers Giovanni Volpato (Bassano 1740-Rome 1803) and Giovanni Ottaviani (Rome 1735-1808). Our engraving and painted paper panel is engraved by Giovanni Ottaviani (Rome 1735-1808) after the designs of the painter Gaetano Savorelli and of the architect Pietro Camporesi , this famous architect worked for Pope Clemens XIII and Pius VI, that's why our panel is enriched by the handwriting: “cum privilegio ss. D.N. Clementis XIII” This extremely detailed ornate fancies watercolor engraved panel features a series of neoclassical patterns. On a cream white background all the most typical decorations of the neoclassical period are engraved and then finished by hand painting. The rectangular panel is richly decorated with multicolored fruits composition, architectural elements, grotesque, animals and leaves and flowers patterns inserted in a linear geometric scheme. The dominant colors are deep and light blue, yellow ocher, gold, green, gray, pink and red. Both the designs and the colors are perfectly mixed and the final result is a work of art so elegant and beautiful that can fit with any kind of furnishing, ready to hang on the walls of your home. The Logge of Raphael, in addition to their undoubted decorative value, also constitute a fundamental moment in the history of the neoclassical taste of the late 18th century. Particularly as regards the diffusion of the fashion of the "Grottesche", which in Roman wall decorations find a great variety of motifs such as palmettes, garlands, urns and cornucopia. In our engraving all these architectural and decorative elements are inserted in a linear geometric scheme. The incisions of Raphael's lodges present in the Vatican apartments thus offering a final effect of lightness and spontaneity even if each single element is in fact closely linked to a rationally ordered structure. The great master engraver Giovanni Ottaviani received his first lessons from his mother, his work was so much appreciated that he soon worked with the engraver Remondini and later he also had Wagner and Bartolozzi as masters. From Rome he was commissioned his most famous works, so as to be one of the main engravers of the very famous "Logge di Raffaello". This remarkable magnificent coloring panel is the #8 of the whole original series. Newly framed in dark brown wood frames with glass to protect the paper.
