Carboncino, matita rossa misure: mm 130 x 284 Pittore e incisore italiano. Si formò presso l'Accademia Abertina di Torino seguendo per tre mesi i corsi di Romolo Umbertalli (Biella 1871 - Torino 1928), essenzialmente autodidatta, ha lavorato con il pittore Carlo Follini (Domodossola 1848 - Pegli 1938) a sua volta allievo di Antonio Fontanesi. Realizzò circa 152 acqueforti e si dedicò alla pittura da cavalletto e al disegno a carboncino. Nelle sue opere, comunque pervase da uno stile del tutto personale, ritroviamo un richiamo ad altri artisti quali Fontanesi e Segantini e per il solo primo periodo, a Fattori. Partecipò a diverse esposizioni a Torino, Venezia e Roma. Il disegno è probabilmente uno studio per un dipinto. Il soggetto infatti e delimitato da una marcata linea di contorno e occupa solamente una porzione del foglio, come se l'autore fosse già consapevole dei limiti della superficie su cui avrebbe lavorato. Vediamo rappresentato un silenzioso e solitario paesaggio di pianura, un frutteto. File di tronchi spogli si ergono da un terreno smosso e più lontano sembrano addirittura mutarsi in fragili fuscelli mossi dal vento. La visione d'insieme è sintetica e una fievole luce fredda, molto probabilmente di una mattinata invernale, genera ombre sul terreno. In basso a sinistra a matita "20-x-02". Al verso rapidi studi a matita di vacche e uomini. Ottimo stato di conservazione, leggero foxing. Carta spessa color avorio. Al verso: Timbro Galleria Prandi, Reggio Emilia recante n 4532 e autentica del fratello dell'autore "disegno di mio fratello-Cino Bozzetti-/ avv.to Stefano Bozzetti" Bibliografia: Franca Dalmasso, Cino Bozzetti, in Dizionario biografico degli italiani, vol. 13, Roma, Istituto dell'Enciclopedia Italiana, 1971.
China misure: mm 270 x 193 Scarse notizie gravitano attorno la figura di Luigi Pizzi, pittore, disegnatore, ma conosciuto principalmente per le sue belle incisioni di riproduzione da artisti quali Raffaello, Veronese e Domenichino, allora di grande moda. Nel 1791 si trova a Padova presso la Regia Accademia per seguire gli insegnamenti di Paolo Pozzo (Verona 1741 - Mantova 1803). Intorno al 1801 è a Verona per insegnare disegno e intaglio, incarichi che conserverà anche presso l'Università della città Padova dove si trasferisce definitivamente. In questo insolito foglio vengono raffigurati quattro busti di filosofi. L'intensità del segno è rapido e graffiante, costruisce lo spazio e la corporeità delle figure. Nulla è lasciato incompiuto: barba, capelli, rughe del volto, gli sguardi che si trasformano in parole, i gesti vivaci come quello del filosofo a sinistra di profilo o dell'uomo in primo piano che tra le mani custodisce un libro. La fitta intersezione di linee genera contrasti chiaroscurali in grado da far emergere le figure dallo sfondo. Il soggetto richiama i dettami del mondo classico ma lo stile è perfettamente coerente con l'arte del bulino di impronta neoclassica. In basso a sinistra a penna, in blu, numero 9 (?), mentre al verso scritta a penna e ripetuto a matita Disegno del Pizzi. Al verso in alto a sinistra, a penna numerazione 6159/10 Ottimo stato di conservazione.

Acquaforte misure: mm 80 x 240 Incisore e disegnatore, si dedicò sporadicamente alla pittura. Il padre Francesco, scultore allievo di Giambologna, morì prematuramente ma riuscì ad avviare tutti i suoi figli a mestieri d’arte. Stefano fu il solo ad eccellere, ebbe i primi insegnamenti presso botteghe di dimenticati orefici i quali ebbero tuttavia il pregio di fargli prender dimestichezza con il bulino. Fu sostanzialmente un autodidatta. Le fonti bibliografiche affermano che egli si esercitava a disegnare figure curiosamente partendo dai piedi e a copiare le incisioni di Jacques Callot avendo come unico confronto l'incisore Remigio Cantagallina. Fu notato poi dal pittore Giovan Battista Vanni che lo prese nella sua bottega e gli diede i primi insegnamenti di pittura e del disegno. La vocazione di Della Bella fu sicuramente l'incisione e già le sue prime opere rivelano i temi a lui più cari: scene di vita contemporanea, feste, battaglie e le decorazioni. Lo studio delle incisioni e dei disegno di maestri antichi, la conoscenza e il confronto con i maestri fiorentini e fiamminghi a lui contemporanei allora presenti alla corte medicea furono furono di grande stimolo. Egli è considerato un grafico puro, grazie ai suoi numerosi viaggi tra Roma e Parigi e grazie alla protezione dei Medici maturò un proprio linguaggio grafico, in vita e per tutto il XVIII secolo fu ricercato e collezionato in Francia e in Italia. Questa è la tavola numero 15 della serie Ornamenti di fregi e fogliami, composta da sedici stampe. La tavola si divide in un fregio nelle parte superiore e due schizzi nel margine inferiore. Nel pannello superiore in un girale vegetale fanno capolino i corpi di due bambini; quello a sinistra sta decorando con ghirlande il corpo di un'aquila, mentre quello di destra la criniera di un leone. Nel zona inferiore, sempre con tratto fine ed elegante, vediamo a sinistra un tritone che brandendo un bastone cavalca un cervo marino e a destra il profilo della testa di un satiro. In basso, inciso nel margine inferiore, "Stef. della Bella inuent. et fecit", "N. Langlois excu", "Cum Priuil Regis" e numero. Impressione eccellente. Ottimo stato di conservazione. Ampi margini oltre la battuta del rame. Stato: III/VI con l'indirizzo N. Langlois (Parigi 1640 - 1703). Bibliografia: De Vesme-Massar 1001, pag. 218.

Carboncino e matita misure: mm 165 x 225 Pittore italiano del quale si hanno poche notizie, fu attivo soprattutto nel Comasco a metà dell’Ottocento. Nel 1857 affrescò il battistero nella Basilica del SS. Crocifisso in Como; altre sue opere si trovano nel battistero di S. Fedele a Como e nelle chiese parrocchiali di Casasco, Pellio Superiore e Castiglione d’Intelvi. A Nesso nella Chiesa dei Santi Pietro e Paolo, nell’area presbiterale si trovano dipinti raffiguranti la Consegna delle chiavi a san Pietro, la Disputa di san Paolo nell’Areopago e la Trinità con gli Evangelisti realizzati nel 1864. In questo foglio, che reca la tracce di quadratura per definire le posizione reciproche delle figure, vengono rappresentati tre putti a figura intera. Sono colti stanti in pose ed atteggiamenti differenti; quello di sinistra di profilo ma con il busto e il volto rivolti verso lo spettatore, diversi ripensamenti dell'artista alla ricerca dell'esatta posizione del braccio destro forse pensato per tenere uno strumento. Il putto centrale è colto frontalmente, con la gamba sinistra avanti rispetto l'altra, fissa lo spettatore e sembra, con il gesto della mano sinistra protesa in avanti, lo stia invitando. Il putto a destra è di profilo, molti sono i ripensamenti di braccia e volto, sembra tenere tra le mani un flauto. Disegno eseguito su cartoncino ocra. Ottimo stato di conservazione.
Matita misure: mm 311 x 235 Pittore italiano del quale si hanno poche notizie, fu attivo soprattutto nel Comasco a metà dell’Ottocento. Nel 1857 affrescò il battistero nella Basilica del SS. Crocifisso in Como; altre sue opere si trovano nel battistero di S. Fedele a Como e nelle chiese parrocchiali di Casasco, Pellio Superiore e Castiglione d’Intelvi. A Nesso nella Chiesa dei Santi Pietro e Paolo, nell’area presbiterale si trovano dipinti raffiguranti la Consegna delle chiavi a san Pietro, la Disputa di san Paolo nell’Areopago e la Trinità con gli Evangelisti realizzati nel 1864. Nel foglio viene rappresentata una figura stante, colta frontalmente e piegata leggermente in avanti. L'uomo non è indagato nel volto, lasciato allo stato di abbozzo, l'autore si concentra sullo studio dei movimenti della veste. Questa tunica avvolge completamente il soggetto e cade pesante sul suo corpo; il braccio sinistro piegato alla vita regge parte della veste lasciando così visibili le caviglie e i piedi nudi. Attraverso una fitta intersezione di linee si vengono a creare giochi chiaroscurali che rendono tangibile il tessuto. La figura nella sua maestosa ieraticità sembra una scultura di un filosofo o un magistrato romano. Disegno eseguito su carta bianca spessa. Ottimo stato di conservazione.

New English Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (28 x 20 cm). In English. 356 p. B/w and color ills. "Photography in the Ottoman Empire 1839-1923 provides an account of the history of photography in the Ottoman Empire between the years 1839-1923, an important though neglected field in the history of an early photography. The sultans of the Ottoman Empire traditionally shaped the arts of their day, and their enthusiastic reaction to the discovery of photography was to be crucial in the development of photography in the Empire. This third edition of the book published by YEM Publications has been updated and enlarged to incorporate new information gathered over the years and many new photographs that have been added to my archive. I have made sure that the revised text comprises the latest information available on the subject. Many nation states were created in the former Ottoman territories in Europe, Asia and Africa. I have not included the individual photographic histories of these countries but endeavoured to focus primarily on photography within the present boundaries of the Republic of Turkey. A list of photographers who worked in the Ottoman Empire has been provided to assist all those who are interested in the history of photography in Turkey and the Middle East. The names of photographers that I have come across in documents written in Ottoman Turkish script have been given as spelt. The first two editions treated the story of photography in the Ottoman Empire from the announcement of its discovery in 1839 up to 1919, but this new edition has been extended up to the year 1923 when the Turkish Republic was founded. Researching the history of photography is an unending task requiring a lifetime's dedication."
