Acquaforte, 1875, priva di firma. L’opera è una delle 3 acqueforti di Signorini preparate per le Fornicazioni di Fra Mazzapicchio edite per cura di Diego Martelli fiorentino ed illustrate da Telemaco Signorini. Si tratta di un delizioso libro d’artista, impresso in soli 100 esemplari. Raccolta di prose erotiche attribuite al francescano padre Didaco di San Friano (Borgo San Frediano, a Firenze), ornate da tre splendide acqueforti del macchiaiolo e impressionista Telemaco Signorini. Assieme ai «Primi passi» (1871) e alle «Storielline» (1876), sempre a petto delle prose di Martelli, questo libro compone un trittico che è ritenuto tra le migliori prove del Signorini incisore. “[…] forse il meglio della sua opera grafica […] il Signorini lo diede nelle illustrazioni delle tre raccolte di novelle veristiche di Diego Martelli […] Costretto a dir tutto in breve spazio, qui il Signorini vi riuscì senza disperdere le sue forze; e il segno aderì più strettamente al soggetto propostogli dall’amico Diego, che d’altra parte lo riportava in un clima ben confacente alle sue tendenze e ai suoi umori. Di questo gruppo, l’acquaforte che illustra la prima novella delle ‘Fornicazioni di Fra Mazzapicchio’, quella che dà il titolo al libro, vale per l’efficacia della rappresentazione e per un tocco magro e conclusivo, che superano l’evidente ispirazione letteraria” (cfr. L. Vitali, L’incisione italiana dell’Ottocento, in “Domus” del 29 maggio 1930, pp. 31ss.) Telemaco Signorini nasce a Firenze il 18 Agosto del 1835 e, nonostante prediliga gli studi letterari, suo padre, un modesto pittore della corte del Granduca, lo avvia allo studio della pittura e fu lui il suo insegnante. Dopo aver frequentato i corsi di disegno dal nudo all'Accademia di Belle Arti fiorentina, e dopo aver dipinto dal vero con Odorado Borrani e Vincenzo Cabianca, inizia a frequentare il Caffè Michelangelo, accostandosi ai pittori che in quegli anni stavano teorizzando la pittura di macchia, ossia i Macchiaioli. Durante un viaggio a Parigi conosce personalmente l'anziano Camille Corot, interessandosi alla sua pittura di paesaggi e Constant Troyon; tornato a Firenze, con l'amico Diego Martelli, consolida l'amicizia con Silvestro Lega e Odoardo Borrani, insieme ai quali dipinge nei dintorni di Pergentina, divenendo il maggior rappresentante dei Macchiaioli. Bellissima prova, impressa su carta coeva, rifilata ed applicata sulla pagina del volume, con testo descrittivo al verso. Dimensioni 60x82 mm, il foglio 113x125 mm. In ottimo stato di conservazione Etching, 1875, unsigned. The work is one of 3 etchings by Signorini prepared for the Fornicazioni di Fra Mazzapicchio published by Diego Martelli of Florence and illustrated by Telemaco Signorini. This is a delightful artist's book, printed in only 100 copies. It is a collection of erotic prose attributed to the Franciscan priest Didaco di San Friano (Borgo San Frediano, in Florence), adorned with three splendid etchings by the Macchiaioli and Impressionist Telemaco Signorini. Together with "Primi passi" (1871) and "Storielline" (1876), this book makes up a triptych that is considered among Signorini's best etchings. "[...] Forse il meglio della sua opera grafica [...] il Signorini lo dà lo di illustrazioni delle tre raccolte di novelle veristiche di Diego Martelli [...] Costretto a dir tutto in breve spazio, qui il Signorini vi riuscì senza disperdere le sue forze; e il segno aderì più strettamente al soggetto propostogli dall’amico Diego, che d’altra parte lo riportava in un clima ben confacente alle sue tendenze e ai suoi umori.

Acquaforte, 1875 circa, priva di firma. Stampata su carta cina applicata su supporto coevo. Opera non descritta dai repertori consultati. Telemaco Signorini nasce a Firenze il 18 Agosto del 1835 e, nonostante prediliga gli studi letterari, suo padre, un modesto pittore della corte del Granduca, lo avvia allo studio della pittura e fu lui il suo insegnante. Dopo aver frequentato i corsi di disegno dal nudo all'Accademia di Belle Arti fiorentina, e dopo aver dipinto dal vero con Odorado Borrani e Vincenzo Cabianca, inizia a frequentare il Caffè Michelangelo, accostandosi ai pittori che in quegli anni stavano teorizzando la pittura di macchia, ossia i Macchiaioli. Durante un viaggio a Parigi conosce personalmente l'anziano Camille Corot, interessandosi alla sua pittura di paesaggi e Constant Troyon; tornato a Firenze, con l'amico Diego Martelli, consolida l'amicizia con Silvestro Lega e Odoardo Borrani, insieme ai quali dipinge nei dintorni di Pergentina, divenendo il maggior rappresentante dei Macchiaioli. Bellissima prova, in ottimo stato di conservazione. Dimensioni 114x172 mm, il foglio 239x325 mm. Al verso timbro della collezione di Raffaele Alianello (Lugt 5K). Etching, circa 1875, unsigned. Printed on Chinese paper applied to carboard. Work not described by the repertories consulted. Telemaco Signorini was born in Florence on August 18, 1835 and, although he preferred literary studies, his father, a modest painter of the court of the Grand Duke, initiated him to the study of painting and he was his teacher. After having frequented the courses of drawing from the nude to the academy of Belle Arti fiorentina, and after having painted from the true one with Odorado Borrani and Vincenzo Cabianca, it begins to frequent the Cafe Michelangelo, approaching the painters that in those years were theorizing the painting of stain, that is the Macchiaioli. During a trip to Paris he knows personally the old Camille Corot, being interested in his painting of landscapes and Constant Troyon; returned to Florence, with the friend Diego Martelli, consolidates the friendship with Silvestro Lega and Odoardo Borrani, together with which it paints in the surroundings of Pergentina, becoming the greater representative of the Macchiaioli. Beautiful example, in excellent condition. Size: platemark, 114x172 mm; sheet 239x325 mm. On the verso collection mark of Raffaele Alianello (Lugt 5K).
