An original engraving on soft blue wove handmade paper by Italian artist Francesco Londonio (1723-1783) titled "Shepherdess with Sheep and Goat", 1759. Signed and dated by Londonio in the plate upper right, (printed signature). Edition size unknown, presumed small. "10" printed upper right in margin, likely the plate number. "Sammlung Hämmer (Hammer Collection)" stamp in green on verso. The work is presently archivally tipped into a storage mat. Sheet size: 7.25" x 5.5". Image size: 6.75" x 5.25".

Very rare. Francesco Londonio (Milan, 1723 – Milan, 1783) was an Italian painter, engraver, and scenographer, active mainly in Milan in a late-Baroque or Rococo style. Londonio trained as a painter under Ferdinando Porta and Giovanni Battista Sassi in Milan, but traveled to Rome and Naples. He studied engraving with Benigno Bossi. He is best known for his paintings and ectchings of rustic and pastoral landscapes and subjects, with both animals and peasants playing a dominating role over the landscape. This focus on genre themes was popular among the wealthy patrons of the time, specially in Northern Italy; and artists such as the Brescian painters Ceruti and Cifrondi worked with such themes. In his engravings, he recalls Gaetano Zompini. Londonio is also known for his scenography. An example, of this poorly conserved art form that still exists is a nativity scene on cut wooden shapes for the church of San Marco in Milan. The effect is a cheaper version of the naturalistic Sacri Monti scenes, which had been painted stucco statuary. It also can be seen as a cross between the holy scenes described above, and the theatrical set pieces, for example, those needed for the newly founded La Scala theater. The work at San Marco prompted Empress Maria Theresa of Austria...
