Notes:
A strong and harmonious impression of this rare work. The elegance and fluidity of the drawing technique, so evident in this etching, as well as the assured handling of this classical subject, are excellent representations of the spirit and soul of the Italian Renaissance. Nagler states that this work had been inspired by a work by Parmagianino. De Vesme, on the other hand, he is not sure that the creator of this work was Bisi and also thought that the artist’s inspiration came rather from a work by Giorgio Vasari. Our description agrees with Nagler who assigns this work to Bisi after Parmigianino.
Bisi was a Franciscan monk who was a student of Lucio Massari and was a miniaturist. Above all, he also was considered as a “renaissance man” whose erudition won him the task of putting together the art collection of Duke Alfonso IV d’Este, Duke of Modena (Modena 1634 - 1662 Modena).

- The SingersBy Adriaen van OstadeLocated in Chicago, ILThe Singers (4th State), 1667 Etching printed with tone 240 x 190 mm.; 9 1/2 x 7 1/2 inches Provenance: W. Benoni White (Lugt 2592) Karl Herweg (not in Lugt) References: Godefroy 19 IV/VII Hollstein 19 IV/VII Pelletier, Georgia Museum of Art, 1994: nos. 46 and 47 Notes: A very fine impression of the rare 4th state (of seven) of this major Van Ostade. Godefroy illustrates differences between this 4th state and the following 5th state. In the latter state, there are several “escaped lines”, going obliquely from left to right, directly above the central post. These lines are not visible in the 4th state. Ostade was one of the most important of the printmakers within the Rembrandt circle. His prints, avoiding religious subjects, depicted beggars, peasants and artisans. Combining great artistic sensitivity with thorough mastery of the medium of etching, Ostade etchings present a unique artistic panorama of life in seventeenth-century Holland. Pelletier (S. William Pelletier, Adrian Van Ostade...Category
