Acquaforte (mm 229x174; foglio: mm 335x292), monogrammata sulla lastra in basso a sinistra. Esemplare del secondo stato su due, stampato da Carlo Lovera e pubblicata su L’Arte in Italia del novembre 1870. Ottima impressione. Grandi margini, ottima conservazione. Alberto Pasini nasce a Busseto (PR) nel 1826. Iscrittosi all’Accademia di Belle Arti di Parma ha come maestro Girolamo Magnani, per la pittura. Nel 1851 si reca a Parigi dove, alla scuola dei pittori di Barbizon, si dedica alla pittura di paesaggio. Nel 1855, per interessamento del pittore Théodore Chassériau è aggregato ad una missione diplomatica diretta in Persia. Da qui la svolta nella sua vita. In questo primo e in successivi viaggi in vari paesi affacciati sul Mediterraneo, rimane conquistato dall’Oriente traendone spunti in disegni che poi svilupperà in numerosi dipinti. A Parigi dove si stabilisce espone ai numerosi Salon ottenendo prestigiosi premi. Lo Scià di Persia e il Sultano di Costantinopoli gli commissioneranno varie opere e i collezionisti si contenderanno i suoi piacevolissimi dipinti. Dal 1871 si ritira a Cavoretto, nelle colline piemontesi, non rinunciando tuttavia a continuare a viaggiare a Parigi e Venezia, città che verrà spesso ritratta nei suoi dipinti. Muore a Cavoretto nel 1899. È da considerarsi uno dei più notevoli orientalisti a livello europeo. Bibliografia G. Giubbini, L’acquaforte originale in Piemonte e in Liguria 1860 - 1875, Genova 1976, n.1. Etching (mm 229x174; sheet: mm 335x292), monogrammed on the plate at lower left. Exemplar of the second state of two, printed by Carlo Lovera and published in L'Arte in Italia - November 1870. Very good impression. Large margins, excellent conservation. Alberto Pasini was born in Busseto and attended the Academy at Parma. From 1851 to 1853 he studied under Eugène Ciceri (1803-1886) in Paris, where he completed his training in the atelier of M.E. Isabey (1813-1890). He made his Salon debut in 1853. From his first visit to Persia in 1855, as part of the suite of the French delegation to the Persian Gulf and Tehran, Pasini specialized in views of remote corners of Turkey and Persia. He travelled to Constantinople between 1868 and 1869 and to Asia Minor and Syria in 1873. Pasini was also a seasoned traveller within Europe and from 1878 visited Venice on several occasions, and made a journey to Spain with Gérôme from 1879 to 1883. "Principally a landscape and architectural painter, Pasini came under the influence of Théodore Rousseau and Fromentin in the late 1850s, though his later style reveals affinities with the Néo-grec school of painters. Apart from his Orientalist work, he painted some genre scenes and subjects taken from Turkish history and was also known for his lithographic work. "After the Franco-Prussian War (1870-71), Pasini returned to Italy, but continued to exhibit at the Salon until his death in 1899” (MaryAnne Stevens, ed., The Orientalists: Delacroix to Matisse - The Allure of North Africa and the Near East, exhibition catalogue, National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, 1984, p. 195).

Cloth bound with dusjacket, as new !! 1993. 2 vols. in 4to. VIII, 710 pp. text and over 1250 ills. on 439 plts. (35 in color).Biography by Marten Jan Bok. ISBN 9070288834. This is the first monograph on the leading Utrecht painter Abraham Bloemaert (1566-1651) and his four sons who were painters and engravers. Bloemaert emerges as the foremost master of Utrecht, his stature comparable to that of his contemporaries Hendrick Goltzius and Cornelis van Haarlem.The output of Abraham Bloemaert is considerable: over 200 extant paintings and 625 prints designed by him and engraved by such masters as Matham, Saenredam, Bolswert and Cornelis and Frederick Bloemaert. His stylistic development during an activity of sixty years leads from mannerist works in the style of Spranger and the school of Haarlem to a realist approach, a Caravaggesque interlude, a stint at court art, and a final classicizing style. He treated a multitude of themes from the Old and New Testament, altarpieces, mythological works, landscapes, and genre pieces, with important contributions in each field. A fervent Catholic with Jesuit ties, he is the chief representative of Dutch Catholic art. Connected with his lifelong teaching activity are the 166 prints of the Tekenboek. The book opens with an introductory text which sums up the art of Abraham and places it into the context of his time. The bulk of the book is the catalogue which includes in chronological sequence all the extant and the firmly documented lost paintings by Abraham, with copies and imitations, and all the original engravings designed by him. They comprise the 380 engravings by Frederick and the 60 engravings by Cornelis Bloemaert designed by their father. Separately catalogued are 30 dated drawings which provide support for undated works, and 35 comparative works by other masters. This is followed by a complete study of the fine oeuvre of Hendrick Bloemaert, the closest continuator of Abraham, hitherto largely neglected: 120 extant paintings of genre scenes, religious themes, portraits, and mythologies. Finally a study of Adriaen Bloemaert. A large proportion of the works of Abraham and his sons are here studied and reproduced for the first time. The book closes with a fully documented biography of Abraham Bloemaert and his sons and a list of pupils; this portion is the work of the Utrecht historian Marten Jan Bok.
