Acquaforte, 1878, firmata e datata in lastra in basso a destra. "A. Piccinni / Roma 1878" seguita dal titolo sotto "L'Avaro". Magnifica prova, impressa su carta cina applicata, con margini, in perfetto stato di conservazione. Un vecchio avaro che indossa un lungo cappotto appoggiato su uno scrittoio aperto, con la mano appoggiata su un mucchio di monete. Pittore e incisore italiano soprannominato “il re dei disegnatori”. La più grande vocazione dell’artista è, infatti, la grafica. Dal 1860 studia a Napoli all’Istituto di Belle Arti sotto la guida di maestri come Domenico Morelli (Napoli 1826 – 1901), Filippo Palizzi (Vasto 1818 – Napoli 1889), Tommaso Aloysio Juvara (Messina 1809 – Roma 1875) e Francesco Pisante (Napoli 1830 – 1889). Qui egli studia la tecnica dell’acquaforte d’invenzione e aderisce al verismo di matrice palizziana. Agli inizi del 1873 si trasferisce a Roma e frequenta i corsi di incisione alla Calcografia Nazionale. Tra il 1878 e il 1880 è a Parigi presso l’editore Cadart e proprio questa parentesi parigina colloca il Piccinni tra gli artisti europei fautori della rinascita dell’acquaforte originale. Sperimentatore delle nuove possibilità legate al mezzo fotografico è tra i primi in Italia a impiegare la fotoincisione tra il 1874 ed il 1886. I temi affrontati da Piccinni dimostrano l’attenzione costante verso i gesti più semplici della quotidianità della vita, gli individui vengono rappresentati come modelli di categorie sociali. Etching, 1878, signed and dated in plate at lower right "A. Piccinni / Rome 1878" followed by title below "The Miser". Magnificent proof, impressed on applied China paper, with margins, in perfect condition. An old miser wearing a long coat leaning on an open desk, his hand resting on a pile of coins. Piccinni was one of the European artists who were responsible for the rebirth of the original etching. Experimenter of the new possibilities related to the photographic medium, he is among the first in Italy to use the photoengraving between 1874 and 1886. The themes addressed by Piccinni show the constant attention to the simplest gestures of everyday life, individuals are represented as models of social categories. A. Petrucci, “A. Piccinni incisore”, 1931, p, 220, f. 126
Acquaforte, firmata e datata in lastra in alto a sinistra all’interno del soggetto. Oltre l’immagine in alto a destra numero 470, in basso “A. Piccinni pinx. et sc,” titolo e “V.ve A. Cadart Edit. Imp. 56 B.ard Haussmann. Paris”. Questa lastra fu pubblicata su L’Illustration Nouvelle, album edito dalla Maison Cadart nel marzo del 1879. Impressione eccellente con leggero effetto di tono, carta vergata. Ottimo stato di conservazione. Ampi margini oltre la battuta del rame. Il soggetto è riconducibile ad un gruppo di lavori appartenenti alle prime acqueforti di invenzione realizzate dall’artista, tutte hanno per soggetti personaggi e situazioni colti durante il soggiorno romano. In questa stampa vediamo rappresentati dodici spettatori a teatro che si sporgono dalla balconata per osservare meglio la rappresentazione. Grazie a potenti giochi chiaroscurali emergono dallo sfondo scuro e i loro volti indagati minuziosamente sono illuminati dalle luci teatrali della ribalta. Le luci imbiancano anche i due pilastri con capitelli che spezzano l’andamento lineare e prospettico volto a sinistra della superficie della balconata. Proprio l’effetto di luce e il punto di osservazione da sotto in su trasforma i volti in una serie di maschere il che suggerisce un’analisi psicologica dei “tipi da teatro”.

Sperimentatore delle nuove possibilità legate al mezzo fotografico è tra i primi in Italia a impiegare la fotoincisione tra il 1874 ed il 1886. I temi affrontati da Piccinni dimostrano l’attenzione costante verso i gesti più semplici della quotidianità della vita, gli individui vengono rappresentati come modelli di categorie sociali. Etching, signed and dated in plate at upper left in the image. Beyond image in upper right corner number 470, below lettered "A. Piccinni pinx. et sc," the title and "V.ve A. Cadart Edit. Imp. 56 B.ard Haussmann. Paris." This plate was published in L'Illustration Nouvelle, an album edited by Maison Cadart in March 1879. Excellent impression with slight toning effect, printed on laid paper. Very good condition. Wide margins beyond the platemark. The subject can be traced back to a group of works belonging to the first etchings of invention made by the artist, all have for subjects characters and situations captured during his stay in Rome. In this print we see twelve spectators at the theater who lean out from the balcony to better observe the representation. Thanks to powerful chiaroscuro effects they emerge from the dark background and their meticulously studied faces are illuminated by the theatrical lights of the limelight. The lights also whitewash the two pillars with capitals that break the linear and perspective trend facing left of the surface of the balcony. Just the effect of light and the point of observation from below up turns the faces into a series of masks suggesting a psychological analysis of the "theater types".
