About the Item

Image dimensions: 39.5 x 31 cm “Davide con la Fionna” (David with the sling) is a beautiful black and white burin and etching on paper, realized by the artist Angelo Campanella, after Stefano Tofanelli, as the inscriptions on plates on lower margins report “Stefano Tofanelli delineò/ Angelo Campanella incise in Roma”. This original print is numbered on plate in Roman numerals on higher margin: “Tom II. /Tav. XXXII" and is a plate from the series "Illustrazioni de'Monumenti scelti Borghesiani già esistenti nella Villa sul Pincio (..)date ora per la prima volta in luce dal cav. Gio. Gherardo De Rossi e da Stefano Piale sotto la guida di Vincenzo Feoli", by Ennio Quirino Visconti, published by Stamperia de Romanis in Rome, 1821. This old master’s original prints shows a beautiful piece of the Borghese's collection, the statue representing the young boy who with a sling defeated the monster Goliath and became a myth. In excellent conditions with some light signs of the time with some sporadic minor stains along the higher margins, a usual yellowing of the paper at the edges, this wonderful etching has preserved still today his beauty and his fresh impression. Illustrazioni de' Monumenti scelti Borghesiani This collection in two volumes is a beautifully detailed catalog of classical sculptures collected by Prince Borghese (1730-1800) in his Villa on the Pincio. Ennio Quirino Visconti (1751 - 1818) wrote the texts that accompany the large branches depicting. To these writings, which were available by the son of the illustrious archaeologist, the publishers added only a few illustrations relating to some minor monument of which copper had already been engraved. The engraved title-plate are signed by draughtsmen like Agostino Tofanelli, Stefano Tofanelli, Bernardino Nocchi, Domenico de Angelis or Teodoro Matteini, and by engravers Pietro Fontana Veneto, P. Vitali, Pietro Bettelini, Giovanni Folo Veneto, Giovanni Brunetti da Ravenna, Giovanni Ottaviani, Francesco Cecchini, Gio. Batta. Leonetti, Girolamo Carattoni, Domenico Cunego, Luigi Cunego, Alessandro Mochetti, Luigi Pizzi, Angelo Campanella or Giacomo Bossi. The Volume I shows ancient full-length statues, of the Borghese warrior by Agasias (two plates), Greek gods and heroes and Roman famous historical figures; the last two plates represents antique Egyptian deities. There are plates representing ancient bas-reliefs, sarcophagi, of mythological subjects, the Borghese Vase, portrait busts, a vase on an altar, two statues of Amor; and two modern statues, by Bernini (the Apollo and Daphne, and the David). «Très bel ouvrage» writes Brunet, «Grand ouvrage, le seul qui mérite, parmi ceux sur la villa Borgese, de figurer dans le chapitre aux Galeries et Collections» Vinet said, looking at this plate. Angelo Campanella (Rome, 1748 – 1815) Angelo Campanella was an Italian painter and engraver, learned his art under Giovanni Volpato. He engraved the statues of twelve apostles found in the church of St. John Lateran in Rome, and some of the plates for Gavin Hamilton's Schola Itálica including The Presentation in the Temple after Fra Bartolommeo. Others engravings include Christ with the Disciples at Emmaus, The Massacre of the Innocents, and Psyche and Cupid after the great Raphael. Stefano Tofanelli (Lucca, 1750 - Rome, 1812) Stefano Tofanelli did his apprenticeship with Giuseppe Antonio Luchi with his friend and colleague Bernardino Nocchi, who followed him to Rome in 1769. The two painters were not accepted at the Pompeo Batoni school of painting but were well integrated into the school of Niccolò Lapiccola where they developed their baroque style with neoclassical suggestions. In 1781 the Italian painter opened a drawing school, he also made the decoration of the central hall of the Mansi villa in Segromigno. Tofanelli between Lucca and Rome alternates with works such as the Apotheosis of Romulus among the gods in Palazzo Altieri in Rome, the church of San Antonio di Tivoli, the Buonvisi chapel in the Basilica of San Frediano in Lucca and many other interventions in the ancient villas of the Lucca. From 1802 he moved permanently to Lucca where he became court painter for Elisa Baciocchi for whose family he made many portraits; for a few years he was also appreciated as a professor at the Lucca Academy of Painting.
