Original Engraving with a View of Milan in Italy, 1782
About the Item
This print is a colored engraving titled "VIEW in MILAN" and was published by Harrison & Co. on April 1, 1782.
It is a picturesque scene depicting a tranquil landscape in Milan, Italy. The scene features several figures in 18th-century clothing gathered near a body of water. Some individuals appear to be engaging in daily activities such as washing and conversing. To the right, there is a prominent tree, and in the background, there is a bridge crossing the water, with more figures and a boat underneath. Architectural structures, including what appears to be a ruin of an old tower and a house with a red roof, can be seen amidst the natural landscape. The sky is rendered with a sense of an overcast or setting sun.
The markings "Vernet del." and "Walker Sculp." on a print would signify the roles of two different artists in the creation of the piece. "Vernet del." indicates that an artist with the last name Vernet was the original drawer or designer of the image (del. is short for delineavit, which means "he/she drew it" in Latin). "Walker Sculp." means that someone with the last name Walker was the engraver (sculp. is short for sculpsit, which means "he/she engraved it").
Together, these inscriptions provide credit to the respective artists for their contributions to the print. The first name provided alongside "Vernet" would give a clearer indication of which artist from the Vernet family it might refer to, as there were several noted artists with that surname.
