[Bartsch 22.]
Count Anton(io) Maria Zanetti the Elder visited London from his native Venice in 1721. During the course of that trip Zanetti purchased 130 drawings by Parmigianino from the collection of Thomas Howard, the late Earl of Arundel, and also had the opportunity to view some early chiaroscuro woodcuts which belonged to William Cavendish, then the second Duke of Devonshire. Zanetti was completely taken by the painterly nature of the chiaroscuro prints, and upon his return to Italy he set out to teach himself the technique of printing from multiple wooden blocks. Zanetti experimented widely with the appearance of color and the influence it had on his printed images, and he explored the emotional and visual evocations which different pigment combinations generated. Zanetti reimagined Parmigianino's masterful Mannerist compositions using this method, and the results were so well received that they initiated an 18th century revival of the romantic art form. This particular print is among those works after Parmigianino which launched this resurgence in chiaroscuro printmaking.

- The Pig Killers, by David Deuchar after OstadeBy Adriaen van OstadeLocated in Middletown, NYDeuchar, David (after van Ostade). Les paysans tuant un porc. Edinburgh: c1800. Etching on thin cream laid paper, 4 11/16 x 4 11/16 inches (117 x 117 mm), narrow margins. Horizontal edge tear extending approximately 1-inch into the image area at the center left sheet edge. Skinning at the bottom-center sheet edge, verso, and adhesive residue at the top two corners, verso. Etched by David Deuchar after van Ostade, from A Collection of Etchings After the Most Eminent Masters of the Dutch and Flemish Schools particularly Rembrandt, Ostade, Cornelius Bega and Van Vliet, Edinburgh: 22 December, 1803. "The pig killers is one of van Ostade’s most striking, both for its circular format and unusual lighting. Pictorial representations of pig slaughtering were known in medieval book illumination where they were incorporated into depictions of activities relating to the month of November or December. In this intimate, nocturnal scene, illuminated by torchlight, van Ostade combines coarse, barnyard realism with tender observation as a peasant family gathers round to witness the slaughter of a pig, which presumably will feed the large family during the long winter months. As the eldest son kneels on the animal, the farmer’s wife collects the blood in her long handled pan...Category
