About the Item

Andreani, Andrea (Italian, about 1558–1610), after Andrea Mantegna (Italian, 1431-1506) Chiaroscuro woodcut in colors printed from four blocks on laid paper in dark brown, grey, and three shades of ochre, 14 1/2 x 14 1/2 inches (370 x 370 mm), the full sheet. A very good impression with gaufrage clearly visible on the verso, trimmed to the platemark. A central vertical fold is mainly visible on the verso, an additional diagonal fold is also visible on the verso. There are several scattered expert repairs to areas of skinning in the lower right quadrant of the sheet on the verso, as well as one pea-sized area of expert repair in the center-left sheet on the verso. Repairs are not visible on the recto unless the sheet is viewed through raking light. Laid down to an archival paper matrix. [Bartsch XII.101.11]. Andreani published this suite of prints to reproduce the nine canvases of the Triumphs of Caesar by Andrea Mantegna, made for the Gonzaga ducal palace in Mantua between 1484 and 1492, now residing in Hampton Court. The set, his last large-scale publication, took four years to complete and was the first to depict a painted cycle in its entirety. According to the dedication page, Andreani worked after drawings prepared by the Mantuan painter Bernardo Malpizzi. Each of the nine scenes were printed with four blocks; the key block for outlines and separately carved blocks to apply the different shades of color. — The Chiaroscuro Woodcut in Renaissance Italy, edited by Naoko Takahatake, p108.

St. Simon from Les Grands Apôtres Debout Original 17th Century Etching
By Jacques Callot
Located in Soquel, CA
St. Simon from "Les Grands Apôtres Debout, Représentant Le Sauveur, La Bienheureuse Marie et Les Saints Apôtres" Original 17th Century Etching by Jacques Callot. This portrait of St. Simon depicts him standing in a street, holding a book and leaning on a saw. The saw is typical of St. Simon's depictions as he was said to have been martyred by being sawed in half. Very good impression of this print, with bold lines and high contrast. This leaflet contains the words "Callot fec." in the bottom right, shorthand for the Latin fecit, meaning Callot made this. This edition contains no publishers mark or numbering on the piece, indicating that it is from the first printing state. Jacques Callot was born in the Duchy of Lorraine around 1592 to an important family in the court. He started an apprenticeship as a goldsmith at the age of 15, but later began learning etching. He is known for his technical skill in etching and for developing the echoppe style etching needle. Callot's etchings featured religious figures as well as soldiers, common people, beggars, and court individuals. His series "The Miseries and Misfortunes of War," published while Lorraine was invaded during the Thirty Years War, later influenced Goya's "Los Desastres de la Guerra...
