Giuseppe Marcucci (Rome 1807 - 1893)
Giovanni Marcucci was a refined engraver and skilled restorer and practiced his activity mainly for a private commission and was the ordinary professor ofdrawing of the figure at the Academy of Fine Arts of Lucca until 1876. He was a master, among others, of the painter Michele Marcucci. Among the interventions made by him we remember in particular the restoration of the three panels by Giorgio Vasari representing "The Immaculate Conception", "Sant'Eustachio" and "San Biagio" for the altar of the Holy Sacrament of the Church of St. Pier Cigoli , executed in 1840 on behalf of the Carmelite Fathers of Lucca and the intervention, dating back to 1854, on "The Exaltation of the Cross" of Palo Biancucci on the occasion of the transfer of the altarpiece from the Church of St. Giustina to the Oratory of the Cross. In 1856, following the death of the painter Raffaele Giovannetti, he joined the Commission of Fine Arts of the Duchy of Lucca. His colleague Michele Ridolfi did not hesitate to call him "our other restorer, skilled in his art"

- Three studies of Bloom Richard Hamilton James Joyce Ulysses illustration printBy Richard HamiltonLocated in New York, NYRichard Hamilton began studying James Joyce's novel Ulysses (1922) during his national service in 1947. Hamilton was inspired by the idea of illustrating Joyce’s complex, experimental novel in and began making sketches the following year, only to put the project to one side in 1950, with no publisher willing to front the exorbitant cost of resetting the novel for illustrations. It was not until 1981 that he made the decision to create one illustration for each of the novel’s eighteen chapters, and a nineteenth image – a portrait of one of the novel’s main protagonists, Leopold Bloom – destined as a frontispiece. He conceived these images as large intaglio...Category

- Dorian Gray at Opium Den from "The Picture of Dorian Gray" surreal portraitBy Jim DineLocated in New York, NYThis surreal etching portrait of Dorian Gray by Jim Dine in blue ink features the literary protagonist dressed in a white suit. His face is obscured by a mass of hair, tangles of which seem to grow from the sleeves, pant legs, and from beneath the jacket. Dine's notes are written on the image: at his feet reading "WHITE BOOTS" and "White Vinyl Suit" alongside the jacket. On the left edge of the image handwritten text reads "DORIAN GRAY AT OPIUM DEN". In Oscar Wilde's novel Dorian Gray keeps opium in an ornate box in his home, and frequents sites of consumption on the East side of London: “There were opium dens where one could buy oblivion, dens of horror where the memory of old sins could be destroyed by the madness of sins that were new”. An opium den is where Sybil's brother James discovers Dorian. The brother attempts to capture the man he believes is responsible for the death of his sister. Dorian flees to his home, ultimately slashing the portrait that has kept him young for so long. Etching by Jim Dine from one of his most important artist’s books – completely designed and illustrated by Dine. Study for the Rings on Dorian Gray’s Hand from “The Picture of Dorian Gray...Category
