Original 17th Century Hand-Colored Print of a Roach, Sea Snake and other Fish
About the Item
Antique print of illustrating several fish species including a roach and sea snake. These rare hand colored copperplate engraving has been selected from a work entitled "Historia Naturalis”, published in Amsterdam in 1657 under the supervision of John Jonston. John Jonston (or Johnstone), a descendant of a Scottish family, was born in Sambter, Poland. He was interested in both medicine and natural sciences, and studied at St. Andrews, Cambridge, and Leiden. He published major natural history studies, including Thaumatographia Naturalis (Amsterdam 1632), a compendium of contemporary knowledge of natural science including astronomy, palaeontology, plants, animals and man. This was followed by Theatrum Universale Omnium Animalium (Frankfurt, 1650), with plates after his drawings engraved by Matthaus Merian depicting the entire range of animal species.

17th Century Pair of Burin Prints by Giovanni Battista Vanni, Italy, 1642
By Giovanni Battista Vanni, Antonio da Correggio
Located in Cagliari, IT
A beautiful pair of burin engravings depicting "Saint Bernardo degli Uberti" and "Saint Hilary of Poitiers" two of the patron saints of the city included in the base of the cupola ( dome ) of Parma cathedral frescoed by Antonio Allegri known as Correggio (Correggio, August 1489-Correggio 5 March 1534) between 1524 and 1530. Admirable work by the great master in which his genius as a forerunner of the Baroque is fully seen.
In 1642 Giovanni Battista Vanni etched a series of fifteen plates from Correggio's frescoes.
Giovanni Battista Vanni was born in Pisa around 1599; he studied successively under Jacopo da Empoli, Aurelio Lomi, and Matteo Rosselli, and then became a disciple of Cristofano Allori. He is better known as an engraver than as a painter. From 1624 to 1632, he lived in Rome, then returning to Florence after visiting Venice.
