About the Item
By Giuseppe Vasi after Giovanni Piranesi: Etching and engraving with hand coloring in watercolor on laid paper with an E and R watermark, full margins. Minor condition points include the plate number appearing attenuated in the lower right image area, a small graphite mark in the lower right corner on the recto (outside of the image area), and a long but narrow strip of non archival clear tape along the top sheet edge, recto, well outside of the image area. The work is in otherwise excellent condition with fresh color. It bears mention that the figure of the nursing woman in the lower right appears adorned in a bright lemon-colored robe, most commonly we see this figure appear in purple. A scarce representation of this lovely detail.

Giuseppe Vasi
Giuseppe Vasi (1710-1782) was an Italian engraver and architect, best known for his illustrated 'Vedute Roma Antica' (views of ancient Rome), published from 1746 to 1761. Among his pupils was Giovanni Battista Piranesi. Piranesi worked together with him on the Vedute and some are signed both by Vasi and Piranesi. The two disagreed on the movement during their time to denigrate the work of Baroque architects, such as Bernini and Borromini. Vasi favored the more modern architectural approach approach and Piranesi favored the more classical architecture. They often had extreme disagreements and reportedly Piranesi threatened to kill his teacher.

- Breaking up of the Agamemnon, No 1By Sir Francis Seymour Haden, R.A.Located in Storrs, CTEtching and drypoint. Schneiderman 133.v/xi. 7 3/4 x 16 3/8 (sheet 9 1/4 x 17 1/2). A rich impression with plate tone printed in black/brown in on antique cream wove paper. Signed in pencil. In this state, according to Schneiderman (p. 273):"With additional etched work: an extra balk of timber has been added to the balk in the right foreground (the tip of which is approx. 135 mm. from the right plate mark and 35 mm. from the bottom); the barges made darker, and there are drypoint touches in the water in front of the stern. The extreme left line of the hoist of the wrecking barge is complete. The faint lines in the area of the sail of the passing ship just to the right of the mizzenmast of the Agamemnon have also disappeared." The etching, one of Haden's largest, was too large to publish in The Portfolio. Subsequently the plate was proved by Haden and printed by the foremost plate printer of the day, Frederick Goulding, and was issued by the artist himself through Colnaghi’s – with immense success. Keppel claimed that the print sold 10,000 copies, though around 500 seems more likely.' Breaking up of the Agamemnon...Category
