Logge di Rafaele nel Vaticano (Raphael's Loggia in the Vatican) Plate X Pilaster

1772-1777

About the Item

Artists: Raffaello Sanzio d’Urbino.(1483 – 1520) Gateano Savorelli, artist. (unk.- 1791) Ludovico Teseo, draughtsman. (1731-1782) Pietro Camporesi, architect (1726 - 1781) Giovanni Ottoviani (1735-1808) & Giovanni Volpato (1735 – 1803), engravers Title: Delle Logge di Rafaele nel Vaticano, Plate X (10) Year: 1772-1777 Medium: Hand-colored copperplate engraving Sight size: 42 x 16 inches. Framed size: 55.5 x 28.5 inches Condition: Very good Frame: Frame in very good condition A tall and incredibly detailed printed panel, “Delle Logge di Rafaele nel Vaticano” (“Raphael Loggia at the Vatican”), Plate X, by engraver Giovanni Ottaviani, after the art of Gaetano Savorelli and architecture of Pietro Comporesi. The exacting and cleanly rendered black line work is printed on exceptionally fine wove paper, the use of which was still relatively new at the time. It’s skillfully hand-colored with a combination of gouache and watercolor that’s as rich and vibrant as the day it was applied. Attributed and described in Latin across bottom. Top and bottom halves of Plate X have been expertly joined to form a full pilaster. The print is beautifully presented in warm gold wood frame with a wide French mat with eggshell blue main border and an inner gold liner. The print, mat and frame are in very good condition with no condition issues to note. Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino (1483–1520)—known as Raphael—was commissioned by Pope Leo X in 1518 to decorate his vaulted private loggia in the Palazzo Apostolico (Vatican Palace). Raphael’s resultant tour de force was an astonishing Biblically-inspired, Pompeiian-style fresco masterpiece that remains unmatched to this day. Following renewed interest in the Italian Renaissance during the mid-18th century, Roman painter Gaetano Savorelli (1732–1791), and Pope Clemens XIII architect Pietro Comporesi (1726–1781), were tasked with creating a definitive printed catalog of Raphael’s loggia. After more than two centuries, many of the frescoes had fallen into indecipherable disrepair, allowing Savorelli and Comporesi free reign to reimagine and replace missing elements with inspired, yet simpatico, flights of fancy. Their impressive efforts were made indelible by engravers Giovanni Volpato (1732–1803) and Giovanni Ottaviani (1735–1808), the later of whom’s masterful copperplate engravings are on display here.
