Battle Scene - Original Etching Hand Watercolored After Antonio Simonini - 1760

1760

About the Item

Scena di Battaglia (Battle Scene) is a wonderful hand-watered etching, made in 1760 by Luigi Guidotti ( Bologna, 1751 -1800 c.a), after Francesco Antonio Simonini. On lower margin under the image the inscriptions: "P.P.P. F.A.Simonini In. /N.13/ At Luigi Guidotti Bologna". In good condition, except for the contemporary gouache, usual yellowing of the paper and some slight fold of the top edge paper. Including white cardboard passepartout, 34 x 49 cm. A marvelous representation of the call to the charge of cavalry that makes us feel still today the call with the trumpet and the roar of the horses in race. This plate is the thirteen plate from the series "Scelta di battaglie inventate e disegnate da Francesco Antonio Simonini, e da altri celebri autori per uso de' pittori, e dilettanti, fatte incidere, e dedicate al nobilissimo sign.r marchese Carlo Armando Monti patrizio bolognese ultimamente dichiarato tenente generale negli eserciti di S.M.a cristianissima da Luigi Guidotti [...], Bologna, da Luigi Guidotti librajo, e stampatore sotto alle scuole, 1760 ". This series of 34 etchings preceded by a frontispiece, a dedicatory sheet, a white sheet and a sheet with the portrait of the Marquis Carlo Armando Monti, the Bolognese patrician to whom the entire work was dedicated, was printed in Bologna in 1760 by Luigi Guidotti who had a shop "under the Schools". All the etchings represent battle scenes of invention of various artists that had to serve as an example and model for painters and amateurs. This artwork is shipped from Italy.
