About the Item

GIORGIO MORANDI 1890-1964 Bologna 1890-1964 (Italian) Title: View of Montagnola, Bologna Veduta della montagnola di Bologna, ca. 1932 Technique: Original Hand Signed and Numbered Etching on Card Paper size: 33 x 49 cm. / 12.9 x 19.3 in. Image size: 21 x 33 cm. / 8.3 x 12.9 in. Additional Information: This original etching is hand signed in pencil by the artist "Morandi" at the lower right margin. It is also hand numbered in pencil from the edition of 50, at the lower left margin. It is additionally signed and dated in the lower right image “Morandi 1932”. It was printed in a limited edition of 50 signed and numbered impressions and published by Calcografia Nazionale, Rome. This is the first state (of two) before the addition of the number. There was no edition of the second state. Note: Giorgio Morandi is one of the greatest Still Life artists of the 20th century. With exhaustive attention to tone, light, and compositional balance, he repeatedly depicted bottles, vases and objects from his studio in Bologna. Also, a professor of engraving and etching at Bologna Academy 1930-56, he was a master of the technique of engraving. He realised 133 etchings in his lifetime. Morandi defines his objects entirely through their tone, using a texture of lines woven like linen, reflecting the weave of the printed paper, to darken certain areas. In Veduta della Montagnola di Bologna (View of the Montagnola in Bologna, 1932), these textures become more abstracted, largely uniform fields of pattern—a dense but even hatchwork of diagonal, vertical, and horizontal lines for a field in shadow, a more open pattern for areas in sun. Another impression of this etching is included in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Literature: Vitali, L. (1989). L'opera Grafica di Giorgio Morandi. Turin: Einaudi. Reference: Vitali 93 Condition: Very good condition. The paper slightly toned.

  • Assassinat de Basseville à Rome - Original Etching by P.G. Berthault - 1793
    By Pierre Gabriel Berthault
    Located in Roma, IT
    Assassinat De Basseville à Rome is an original black and white etching realized by Pierre Gabriel Berthault, after Jacques François Joseph Swebach-Desfontaines in 1793. Title with caption on plate on the lower center: "Assassinat de Basseville, à Rome/ le 13 Janvier 1793, ou 23 Nivose An Ier de la République". Below the image on the lower margin, "Swebach Desfontaines onv. et del. / Berthault sculp." is etched on plate. This modern artwork is numbered "N. 76", because it is from the series Les Tableaux historiques de la Révolution française. As a matter of fact, Pierre-Gabriel Berthault is well-known for having engraved plates from this collection with the collaboration of the engraver Jean Duplessis-Bertaux. A work - hanging in the balance between news and history - with illustrations of salient or minimal events occurred during the French Revolution. As a celebration of the new ideals of brotherhood, justice, and equality, Les Tableaux immediately became a point of reference for journalism at the time. Of traditional cut, namely showing a view with many human figures, the engraving simplified the lines to be immediately readable for the general public. In our specific case, this original print represents the murder of Hugou de Bassville or Basseville (7 February, 1743 – 13 January, 1793), a French journalist and diplomatist, and protector of the radical Jacobins in Rome. In excellent conditions, except for a usual yellowing of the paper on the edges and a light trace of oxidations on the lower and right margins, beyond the marginal line of the matrix. Pierre-Gabriel Berthault (Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, 1737 - Paris, 1831) was a French master who made engravings from drawings by Jean-Claude Richard de Saint-Non (known as the Abbot of Saint-Non) and from paintings by Louis François Cassas. He depicted many views of Italy and created the collections Voyage à Naples and Voyage pittoresque de la Syrie, de la Palestine et de la basse-Egypte. Before the French Revolution, he was famous for being the author of the Vues intérieures de Paris and for tables with architectural elevations.
