Late 18th century
About the Item
This interesting grisaille […] of a high standard of quality and in an excellent state of conservation, represents an interesting derivation with slight variations from an engraving, currently know by several exemplars, made in 1777 by Francesco Bartolozzi from a drawing by Giovan Battista Cipriani (Cf. A. Calabi, Francesco Bartolozzi. Catalogue des Estamps et notice biographique d’après le manuscrits de A. De Vesme enteriement réformé et complétés d’une étude antique, 1928, n. 433. III). The engraving, related to others similar in format and also dedicated to episodes taken from antiquity, was inspired by a pictorial frieze pertaining to a cycle of six decorated panels realized between 1770 and 1771 by Cipriani for the Library of Audley End House in the Essex.
The distinctive characteristics of this work in respect to the engraving, evident mostly in the more sculptural rendering of the figures and in the total absence of references to the baroque world, result, effectively, as key elements that anticipate Benvenuti’s paintings between the end of the 18th beginning of the 19th century, such as Saint Sebastian Tended by the Pious Women, Angelica and Medoro, and Pythius Apollo, all works preserved at the moment in private collections.
