S. Iosephus - Original Etching by P.A. Killian - 1736
Located in Roma, IT
S. Iosephus is a black and white etching of technical virtuosity realized by the German artist, Philipp Andreas Kilian, in 1736. This is a really Baroc representation of Saint Joseph, the father of Jesus, recognizable by the tools of the trade well highlighted on the wooden table under construction. A marvelous man, portrayed in a moment of maximum muscular tension (he is making a table), has something in himself very closed to the sanctity. In fact an aura is appearing near the head and two angels have just appeared to assist during his enterprise. Original Title: S. Iosephus Iesu Nutritius This original print is in good condition, except for some minor yellowing on the lower margin and some light decoloration of blacks. Cream colored cardboard passepartout, cm 35 x 25, included. Philipp Andreas Kilian (Augusta, 1714-1745) Philipp Andreas Kilian was born in 1714 in Augsburg, from Georg Kilian and Juliane Maria, daughter of the deacon of Augusta Göbel. After an apprenticeship with his father, he attended the studio of Jacob Andreas Friedrich in Augusta and Georg Martin Preißler in Nuremberg. Among his most famous artworks today we remember those made in Dresden. In 1744 Kilian was appointed copper engraver at the court of Saxony. He became very popular mainly thanks to his illustration of the Bible and his book of drawings. In the first marriage Philipp Andreas Kilian married Susanna Sybilla Engelbrecht, daughter of Augsburg art director Martin Engelbrecht...

Woman Spinner and a Shepherd with Flock /// Sheep Lady Antique Landscape Animal
By Francesco Londonio
Located in Saint Augustine, FL
Artist: Francesco Londonio (Italian, 1723-1783) Title: "Woman Spinner and a Shepherd with Flock" *Signed and dated by Londonio in the plate (printed signature) upper right Year: 1759 (first state of two) Medium: Original Etching on blue wove handmade paper Limited edition: Unknown Printer: Unknown Publisher: Likely the artist Londonio himself Reference: Scola No. 13 Sheet size: 7.25" x 5.5" Image size: 6.75" x 5.25" Condition: Presently archivally tipped into a storage mat. Some light foxmarks to sheet. Minor crease across the two sheeps' heads. It is otherwise a strong impression in very good condition Very rare Notes: The plate number "12" printed upper right in margin. "Sammlung Hämmer (Hammer Collection)" inkstamp in green on verso lower center. Biography: Francesco Londonio (Milan, 1723 – Milan, 1783) was an Italian painter, engraver, and scenographer, active mainly in Milan in a late-Baroque or Rococo style. Londonio trained as a painter under Ferdinando Porta and Giovanni Battista Sassi in Milan, but traveled to Rome and Naples. He studied engraving with Benigno Bossi. He is best known for his paintings and ectchings of rustic and pastoral landscapes and subjects, with both animals and peasants playing a dominating role over the landscape. This focus on genre themes was popular among the wealthy patrons of the time, specially in Northern Italy; and artists such as the Brescian painters Ceruti and Cifrondi worked with such themes. In his engravings, he recalls Gaetano Zompini. Londonio is also known for his scenography. An example, of this poorly conserved art form that still exists is a nativity scene on cut wooden shapes for the church of San Marco in Milan. The effect is a cheaper version of the naturalistic Sacri Monti scenes, which had been painted stucco statuary. It also can be seen as a cross between the holy scenes described above, and the theatrical set pieces, for example, those needed for the newly founded La Scala theater. The work at San Marco prompted Empress Maria Theresa of Austria...
