About the Item
The large view of St Mark's Square in Venice was created by Federica Galli from five different etched plates and as many points of view of the lagoon city. She overcame these difficulties to create a work of rare beauty and precision.
If you wish, the work has its own natural pendant which is the view of the Trabucchi, also published in 1stdibs. There is a substantial discount if you buy the pair.
Federica Galli's work results from a major retrospective exhibition that the Milan City Council wished to dedicate ten years after her death and which closed at Palazzo Morando (in the heart of Milan's fashion district) in July 2021.
On 15 July 2021, a ceremony was held to dedicate a new street to Federica Galli in Milan, which was strongly supported by the city council and the Foundation that safeguards the Lombard artist's archive and market.
A leading exponent of the art of etching, Federica Galli poetically conveyed Italy's urban and rural architectural landscape and also wanted to bear witness to its beauty for posterity, with a far-sighted focus on the ecological issues so dear today.
Federica Galli was convinced by David Landau ( Renaissance expert and curator of the exhibition "Mantegna" at the Metropolitan Museum) to etch a portfolio on Venice's views between 1984 and 1986. She carved 39 plates introducing a new, contemporary and beautiful eye to Venezia.
Limited edition of 90.
Her artworks are conserved in the NMWA (National Museum of Women in Arts) in Washington, as well as in the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, Milan, the same museum where Leonardo's Codex is conserved.
Federica Galli's Biography
A prominent figure of the art of engraving in Italy, Federica Galli was born in 1932 in Soresina – a village just outside Cremona.
Straight after the war, in 1946, she convinced her parents to enrol her at the Artistic Lyceum in Milan and in 1950 she went on to attend the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera, from where she graduated four years later with a diploma in painting.
She began engraving in 1954 - “Il paese dell’Alberta”- experimenting with etching, a technique she never abandoned for the rest of her life. In 1966 she married the journalist, Giovanni Raimondi – editor-in-chief of the Corriere della Sera – and began to embark on a densely packed programme of cultural trips that took her to the most important European capitals, and to countries where the art of engraving is less deeply rooted. This was also the year in which she matured the conviction that engraving was the technique in which she expressed herself most effectively and started to apply herself exclusively to this art form, producing over eight hundred different subjects.
Starting from her early personal exhibitions – the first one took place in 1960 in Milan – she met with the favour of the public and critics alike. In the space of a few years, she could count on the support of some of the most authoritative critics of her time: Franco Russoli, Mario de Micheli, Giovanni Testori – who was to follow her closely until he died - Mina Gregori, Gian Alberto dell’Acqua, Roberto Tassi, Renzo Zorzi, Carlo Bo, Daniel Berger (Metropolitan Museum of New York), Gina Lagorio, Giuseppe and Francesco Frangi, Marco Fragonara, Giorgio Soavi and David Landau (Oxford University).
She obtained the most prestigious institutional acknowledgements given to any contemporary artist: she was the first living artist to be invited to exhibit at the Fondazione Cini in Venice - 1987 with a collection dedicated to the lagoon city -; at the Civic Museum of Palazzo Te in Mantua - 1987 - ; at the Castello Sforzesco in Milan - 1988 -; in the Imperial Archive of the Forbid-den City, Wag Fung gallery, - 1995 -.
Collectors of her works include people of culture from Italy and elsewhere, individuals are known for their cultivated passion for the graphic arts, comprising – just to mention some of the most famous: Dino Buzzati, Leonardo Sciascia, Francois Mitterand.
An extensive and exhaustive testimony of her works may be viewed at the Ala Ponzone Civic Museum of Cremona, in the Bertarelli Collection of the Castello Sforzesco in Milan, at the Villa Reale of Monza close to Milan.
Between 1954 and 2008, Federica Galli engraved over eight hundred plates with a focus on three principal themes: landscapes, trees and cityscapes. Her landscapes are mainly those of the Lombardy plain, with poetic descriptions of its characteristic farmsteads: adding up to about fifty artworks.
The urban views are those of Milan and Venice, cities that held a special meaning in the life of Federica Galli, who expressed her gratitude in the form of a vision that is perceptive and honest, but never banal.
Her passion for nature, combined with a capacity to bring forth its most enchanting aspects, are revealed in over one hundred plates. Her notorious technical skills enabled her to surmount obstacles that are formidable for engravers, such as the representation of snow and nocturnal scenes, without ever succumbing to affected mannerisms.
The artist has dedicated a collection of works to the most important Monumental Trees of our peninsular, with over sixty plants selected for their historical, naturalistic or aesthetic interest. An exceptionally beautiful collection.
Federica Galli, who passed away on 6 February 2009, has entrusted her artistic legacy to a Foundation bearing her name, which was set up on 17 July 2009 in Milan. This Foundation, whose directors and their relative functions were designated by Ms Galli herself, pursues the objective of safeguarding the name and work of this artist who has left her mark on the Italian art history of the last fifty years. The Board is chaired by Lorenza Salamon, who operates alongside Flavio Arensi (critic and art director of Palazzo Leone da Perego in Legnano), Ivana Iotta (cura-tor of the Civic Museum of Cremona), Franco Grechi and Alberto Galli.

Ian Sanderson (born 1951 Scotland, died 2020 Spain) was a Scottish photographer.
He produced images over a 35 year career, and in recent years used archival techniques to produce his prints.
For most of his career he worked as both a Commercial and Fine Art photographer, and during his last years concentrated on his personal imagery.
Towards the end of his life journey, Ian was reviving with his partner two 19th century printing techniques in their studio, Platinum Palladium and Gum Bichromate ( one-of-a-kind pieces). This culminated in a large retrospective exhibition in Barcelona which was sponsored by the Nando and Elsa Peretti Foundation.
The Platinum and Palladium prints are particularly interesting as they printed them onto vellum paper therefore transparent and bonded pure gold or silver to the back of the prints ( every print is therefore a unique and timeless piece of art).
They have created rare and personalized pieces with an artisanal technique.
Ian Sanderson was one of only a handful of artists worldwide producing this type of work.
Nowadays, Ian’s partner continues their work, she’s still creating Platinum Palladium prints but also silver gelatin photographs.
