1742ABC_46068Venice 1742. Oblong folio ca. 36.5 x 52.5 cm. Joannem Baptistam Pasquali Contemporary half morocco brown paper sides manuscript title and two old shelfmarks on the spine. With 3 letterpress title pages printed in red and black with engraved vignettes by Visentini the original engraved title page for the first series Prospectus Magni Canali a double portrait of Canaletto and Visentini by Visentini after Giovanni Battista Piazetta and and XIV XII and XII numbered engraved prints with familiar views based upon 38 paintings by Canaletto engraved by Visentini showing the Grand Canal public buildings renowned places in Venice and regatta scenes. 3 parts in 1 volume. 8; 1; 1 ll. plus the part-title double portrait and XIV XII XII prints. First complete edition of a series of engraved views of Venice by Visentini after Canaletto's paintings which were in the collection of the book collector patron of the arts and British Consul of Venice Joseph Smith ca. 1673/4-1770. Canaletto also known as Giovanni Antonio Canal 1697-1768 was an Italian painter renowned for his paintings depicting Venice and its canals. Visentini's plates are not only the best known among the many engravings made after Canaletto's famous views of Venice but also the best and most influential: "crucial to forming the image of Venice in the mind of its visitors" Millard. The British Consul Smith commissioned the painter engraver and architect Antonio Visentini 1688-1782 connected to the Academia and to the artistic and publishing circle around Smith to engrave the plates after Canalettos paintings.The series of 38 plates is divided into three suites of respectively XIV XII and XII numbered prints each suite with its own letterpress title-page. The first set of plates is entirely focussed on the Grand Canal as is promised by the original title-page the Prospectus Magni Canali. The prints of the second suite particularly show the banks of the Grand Canal. The third suite shows views of campi and the Piazza San Marco. Besides Saint Mark's Basilica itself and the Piazza we see for example the campo of Santi Giovanni e Paolo the Piazza San Polo and San Niccolo on the Lido. All prints are captioned in Italian.The present 1742 edition is the first to include all 38 prints of the complete three suites but Visentini had completed and published the first suite of views already in 1735. The present complete series proved very succesfull with further editions in 1751 1754 and 1773. Even in the 19th century it ran through new editions: an 1833 edition with French and Italian captions was reprinted in 1838. The present first edition of the complete series is quite rare: we have traced only 6 copies worldwide in WorldCat and it rarely appears on the market.Binding a little rubbed: spine a little damaged paper sides frayed around the edges and chipped in the right lower corner of the front board boards a little stained. Book block slightly loose in the binding. Some marginal tears professionally repaired. Prints only slightly browned along the edges of the margins but otherwise in very good condition. The rare complete first edition of one of the most influential print series in shaping the image of Venice.l Kat.

174714691747. Copper plate engraving with hand coloring on cream laid paper with the Arms of France watermark a crown in shield topped by a fleur-de-lys and the letters GR 22 3/4 x 15 3/4 inches 576 x 400 mm wide to full margins. Multiple vertical and horizontal creases from folding and rolling; none appear to be particularly hard there is however some associated cockling. While there is some minor mat tone visible around the perimeter of the sheet the extensive handcoloring remains extremely fresh and saturated in the intended areas. There are edge tears at each the right and left sheet edge outside of the image area due to an improper effort to mount the sheet to a mat. Otherwise in very good condition with all issues being consistent with age. The print is wrongly titled "The South East Prospect of Westminster Bridge." It in fact shows the north prospect of the bridge with vessels and passengers on the River Thames. Also included is a key to the buildings and the vessels. A vast of array of boats of numerous different shapes and sizes are dotted throughout the waters of the River Thames. The composition is dissected horizontally by the old Westminster Bridge which is reflected in the calm glassy water below. The recognisable buildings of Westminster Abbey and Westminster Hall are seen to the right of the bridge and the former building of the House of Commons labelled 'E' is behind in roughly the same location as the current building. There had been proposals to construct a bridge across the River Thames at Westminster as far back as the Restoration period of 1660 to 1700 but it was not until 1738 that an engineer Charles Labelye was appointed to bring the project to fruition. Westminster Bridge was opened in 1750 and was after London Bridge only the second masonry structure to cross the Thames. The present cast-iron bridge was constructed over a century later between 1854 and 1862. <br /> - United Kingdon Government Art Collection 2023. unknown

86936Venice c.1790 . Engraving by Visentini after Canaletto 40.5 x 55.5 cm. Plate IX from Urbis Venetiarum Prospectus Celebriores.<br /> The most widely known and the best of the many engravings after Canalatto's views of Venice. They were originally commissioned by Consul Smith and based on paintings by Canaletto.<br /><br />"Self-styled as painter architect and engraver Visentini enjoyed a long career in Venice where he was connected to the Academia and to the artistic and publishing circle centred around Consul Joseph Smith. Visentini's etchings are distinguished in the confidence and authority of their perspectival projection and etched line. Visentini's buildings seldom sag and never "sink" under their own weight into the water of the canals as they occasionally might in the work of Carlevaris and Mariechi. Canaletto's compositions are quite various and are refreshingly dramatic in the contrast between the large foreground buildings and the smaller ones in the receding perspective.<br /><br />These views were crucial to forming the image of Venice in the mind of its visitors" Millard.<br /> Venice, c.1790 unknown
