About the Item
Ancient Roman Ornament, from the Series "Antiquities of Herculaneum Exposed", original etching from the end of the 18th century, made by Various Old Masters.
In very good condition, except for some stains along the margins.
In this artwork is represented two roman busts of a solder. Bottom right and left the initials of the artists: F. G. and V. C. Units of measurements typical of the period in the lower center of the margin: Palmo Romano e Palmo Napolitano. On the back, printed writings certainly derived from.
The etching belongs to the print-series Antichità di Ercolano Esposte (original title: Le Antichità di Ercolano Esposte), eight volumes of engravings of the finds from the excavation of the ruins of Herculaneum in the Kingdom of Naples (today Campania, Italy).
It was published between 1757 and 1792 by the Regia Stamperia and later these copies were delivered to selected recipients throughout Europe.
Despite the title, the Antiquity of Herculaneum shows objects from all the excavations undertaken by the Bourbons in the Gulf of Naples. These include Pompeii, Stabia and two sites of Herculaneum: Resina and Portici.
The Bourbon king Charles commissioned fifteen scholars to create a new “Herculaneum Academy” to study the finds and publish the results of the archaeological excavations of the sites.
The engravings are of high quality and the accompanying text shows a large scholarship.
They were made by 25 leading artists involved by the King to prepare drawings and engravings on the finds, among which we find Giovanni Elia Morghen, Carlo Nolli, Luigi Vanvitelli and Giovanni Battista Casanova.
The "Antiquity" was designed more to amaze readers with the quality of the objects in the collection of the King of Naples than to be used in research, following and increasing the interest of eighteenth-century society for classical culture and art in particular.
Through the exaltation of the classical concept of proportion and harmony, the book inspired the neoclassical movement in Europe, giving artists and decorators access to a vast workshop of Hellenistic motifs.

"Anatomie d'Un Reve, " Original figurative sketch print signed
By Claude Weisbuch
Located in Milwaukee, WI
"Anatomie d'Un Reve" is an original color lithograph by Claude Weisbuch. The artist signed the piece in the lower right and wrote the edition number, IX/CXXX, in the lower left. This piece depicts an artist in dark robes painting while shadows and faint sketches of figures walk around in the background.
17" x 23 1/4" art
Claude Weisbuch was born on February 8th, 1927 in Thionville, France. His art includes drawing, painting and lithographs. Inventive and unique with his style he uses color range that is warm and rich in tone, certainly equal to that of Rembrandt. The fluidity of line and creation of motion is even more vigorous that in the work of Daumier or Toulouse Lautrec. His creativeness in composition is awesome and seems to have infinite possibilities of variation and vision. Weisbuch died in 2014.
