Raffaello Morghen Figurative Prints
Raffaello Morghen, also known as Raffaele Morghen was the son of Filippo Morghen, Florentine engraver, who moved to Naples, at the invitation of King Charles of Bourbon (Charles III). In 1779, he was a pupil of Giovanni Volpato in his Roman school. Morghen’s patron was the Venetian ambassador Girolamo Zulian, an art enthusiast, who also hosted Antonio Canova at Palazzo Venezia. In 1794, Morghen moved to Florence to teach the techniques of wood engraving at the Academy of Fine Arts, where sculptors Lorenzo Bartolini and Giovanni Duprè were also trained. He reproduced the frescoes by Raphael in the Vatican and the Supper by Leonardo da Vinci. Morghen was buried in the Church of San Martino a Montughi. In the left nave of the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence is the monument executed for Morghen by Odoardo Fantacchiotti in 1854, at the expense of the engraver's students.
