Black cloth boards with gilt lettering on spine color illustrated dust jacket 160 pp. with approximately 50 color and bw images. Catalogue from the exhibition of 61 works. Many were paintings and drawings but some were books letters etc. not pictured. With an introduction covering several topics including Sir Charles Hanbury Williams The Raphael copy for Northumberland House Paintings for British Patrons British Commissions and Contacts in Rome and much more. WIth a chronology of Meng's life and the catalogue of works annotated. " During his lifetime Anton Raphael Mengs 1728-79 was considered one of the most important painters in Europe but his reputation declined with the rise of Romanticism and has only begun to recover in recent years. Born in Aussig and brought up in Dresden he became Principal Painter to the royal courts of Saxony and Madrid but his main base was to be Rome. He never visited Great Britain refusing out of loyalty to his King the invitations he received to come and work here. Through the diplomat Sir Charles Hanbury Williams in Dresden Mengs was introduced to key members of the British circle in Florence such as the ambassador Sir Horace Mann who provided a crucial link between British travellers and the artistic circles of Rome. This was of course the heyday of the British Grand Tour and in many ways it was unnecessary for Mengs to go to Britain - Britain in the wealthy form of its youthful aristocracy came to him. As the Seven Years' War cut off Mengs's official source of income from the Elector of Saxony he was probably grateful to be able to turn to the lucrative field of Grand Tour portraiture. Mengs quickly became one of the central figures of the Neoclassical 'set' that gathered round the great German antiquarian Winckelmann. His studio was open to all and this period saw figures like Richard Wilson a friend whose portrait Mengs painted Robert Adam Allan Ramsay Robert Wood James 'Athenian' Stuart Piranesi and of course Mengs's great rival in the field of Grand Tour portraits Pompeo Batoni all at work and sharing ideas and tastes. Thomas Jenkins artist and the most famous dealer of the time was another friend. In this intellectual climate Mengs produced works for like-minded British patrons which were to have a strong influence on art in this country like the enormous copy after Raphael's School of Athens for Northumberland House now in the Victoria and Albert Museum and Augustus and Cleopatra finished in 1761 for Henry Hoare of Stourhead - one of the crucial foundation works of Neo-classicism. Encouraged by Winckelmann Mengs committed his theory of art to paper and through works like his Gedanken uber die Schonheit which was to be translated into every major European language including English in 1792 his fame and influence spread. During the long eclipse of Mengs's reputation many of his paintings lay hidden in British collections to survive and finally be rediscovered; in some cases these works had been considered lost. This catalogue to accompany the exhibition 'Anton Raphael Mengs and his British Patrons' at the Iveagh Bequest Kenwood illustrates such works and it is hoped that as a result of it more 'lost' works will be unearthed." -website.

17035770Rome: Gaetano Zenobi 1703. First edition. The author was a Spanish engraver and printer who lived and worked in Rome for part of his life. The text is a defense of Raphael and others from some dismissive remarks made by Carlo Cesare Malvasia in his promotion of the Carracci and of the Bolognese school "La Felsina Pittrice" 1678. Vittoria wrote the material probably in Spanish while still living in Valencia. In the preface he apologizes for his Italian which "lacks purity." The significance of the book according to the art historian Anthony Blunt lies in the author's descriptions of several drawings by Raphael and his contemporaries which are either lost or known only in engraved copies. Condition noted. . Octavo 23 cm; 114 2 pages. Vignette with arms of Pope Clement XI flanked by putti on title page. LACKS FRONTISPIECE PORTRAIT. Decorated letters and ornaments in text.

177627836Rome 1776. Large folio. 29 1/4 x 26 3/4 inches. 12 of 13 hand-coloured engraved plates each printed on two joined sheets by Ottaviani after Gaetano Savorelli and Pietro Camporesi. Interleaved with blanks. Bound without the engraved title soft vertical center crease light abrasions in the images some marginal chips and edge tears to a few plates. A very fine set with particularly fine contemporary hand-colouring of the second part of this great work which concentrates on the quadrants above the windows and doors in the Vatican Logge.<br/> <br/>The work was completed in three parts and depicts the decorative work executed by Raphael and his assistants between 1518-1519 in the Logge on the main storey of the Vatican apartments. The remarkable prints the first to be carried out of the decoration of the Logge were probably planned as early as 1760 but were not executed until 1774 to 1776. The project was carried out by the painter Gaetano Savorelli the draughtsman Ludovico Teseo the architect Pietro Camporesi and the engravers Giovanni Ottaviani and Giovanni Volpato. The plates were remarkable not just for their size and magnificent colouring but also because of the influence they had on contemporary taste. The decision was made to borrow elements from Raphael's Vatican tapestries and insert them where the original frescoes were in too poor a state to be legible. The finished plates therefore represented an amalgam of design elements presented with a crisp freshness of colour that held enormous appeal and did much to stimulate taste in the neo-classical period.<br/> <br/>Raphael Invenit: Stame da Rafaello 1985 Ottaviani 18 21-33; cf.

A very fine collection with richly hand-coloured plates of the best of the decorative interior work carried out by Raphael in Rome. The album is hand-coloured and bound in Rome in the fourth quarter of the 18th-century. It is clearly as it was delivered to its original owner perhaps a Grand-Tourist perhaps a local dilettanti and perfectly echoes his wishes: the first part of Ottoviani's excellent work on Raffaello's Logge frescoes that is the part on the pilasters and including Maitre Dorigny's engravings but only the Loggia of Psyche set all hand-coloured and uniform in size. The first work part one of three concentrates on the decorative pilasters executed by Raphael and his assistants as part of a larger scheme of redecoration between 1518-1519 in the Logge on the main storey of the Vatican apartments. The remarkable prints the first to be carried out of the decoration of the Logge were probably planned as early as 1760 but were not executed until 1774 to 1776. The project was carried out by the painter Gaetano Savorelli the draughtsman Ludovico Teseo the architect Pietro Camporesi and the engravers Giovanni Ottaviani and Giovanni Volpato. The plates were remarkable not just for their size and magnificent colouring but also because of the influence they had on contemporary taste. The decision was made to borrow elements from Raphael's Vatican tapestries and insert them where the original frescoes were in too poor a state to be legible. The finished plates therefore represented an amalgam of design elements presented with a crisp freshness of colour that held enormous appeal and did much to stimulate the taste for the grotesque in the neo-classical period. The second work is of Raphael's Cupid and Psyche series of frescoes carried out by Raphael between 1516 and 1518 in the Loggia of Psyche in the villa Farnesina in Rome. The series also comes with a title and an eleventh plate of the ceiling fresco in the adjoining Sala di Galatea executed in 1512: neither the plate nor the title were ever bound in the present collection. Originally published by the Rossis it is the work of Nicolas Dorigny 1658-1746 who lived and worked in Rome between about 1690 and 1719. The painter classicist and art historian Giovanni Pietro Bellori 1613-1696 provided the text at the foot of the plates appropriate excerpts from Apuleuis's Golden Ass.

177420164Rome 1774. Copper engraving by Ottaviani after drawings by Savorelli and Camporesi printed in light brown coloured ink with contemporary hand-colouring. Neat marginal restoration. A stunning plate from "Logge di Rafaele nel Vaticano": with contemporary colouring of the highest quality from the golden age of the hand-coloured print. The scene in the main panel shows the three angels that appeared to Abraham and told him that he and his wife Sarah will have a son.<br/> <br/>A very fine image from the second part of a work titled "Loggie di Rafaele nel Vaticano" depicting the decorative work executed by Raphael and his assistants between 1518-1519 in the Vatican. They were drawn by Gaetano Savorelli a Roman painter and draughtsman best known for his Raphael drawings and Pietro Camporesi a Roman architect who worked for Pope Clemens XIII and Pius VI on rooms for the Vatican Museum. The first to illustrate the famous frescoes these beautiful plates were probably planned as early as 1760 but were not executed until 1772 to 1776. The plate is remarkable not only as the first important visual record of Raphael's work but also for the quality of the hand-colouring - the work on this image is in our opinion some of the greatest to be produced in Europe during the whole of the eighteenth century: the golden age of the hand-coloured print. They were remarkable not just for their size and magnificent colouring but also because of the influence they had on contemporary taste. The decision was made to "borrow" elements from Raphael's Vatican tapestries and insert them where the original frescoes were in too poor a state to be legible. The finished plates therefore represented an amalgam of design elements presented with a crisp freshness of colour that held enormous appeal and did much to stimulate the taste for the "grotesque" in the Neo-classical period. A year after the death of his principal patron Julius II Raphael succeeded Donato Bramante in 1514 as the official Vatican architect. Having previously adorned the "Stanze" or chambers of Julius on the second floor of the papal apartments in the Vatican palace he was commissioned by Leo X in 1517 to decorate the adjacent Logge. He designed an elaborate cycle of ornamental frescoes for the room's ceiling vaults doors and auxiliary pillars which were executed by his assistants Giulio Romano and Giovanni da Udine. Twelve of the quadrilateral ceiling vaults were adorned with murals of familiar Old Testament scenes and one with a scene from the New Testament while the more decorative frescoes painted on the pilasters by Udine were covered with imaginative compositions of 'grotesque' motifs like foliage fruit and chimerical beasts.<br/> <br/>Cf.

A highly decorative print from the famous "Loggie di Rafaele nel Vaticano" series with contemporary colouring of the highest quality from the golden age of the hand-coloured print.<br/> <br/>A very fine image from the first part of a work titled "Loggie di Rafaele nel Vaticano" depicting the decorative work executed by Raphael and his assistants between 1518-1519 in the Vatican. This remarkable print one of the first to be published of the decoration of the Logge on the main storey of the Vatican apartments was probably planned as early as 1760 but was not executed until between 1772 and 1776. The project as a whole was carried out by the painter Gaetano Savorelli the draughtsman Ludovico Teseo the architect Pietro Camporesi and the engravers Giovanni Ottaviani and Giovanni Volpato. The plate is remarkable not only as the first important visual record of Raphael's work but also for the quality of the hand-colouring - the work on this image is in our opinion some of the greatest to be produced in Europe during the whole of the eighteenth century: the golden age of the hand-coloured print. The whole series was of importance not just for the size and magnificent colouring of the prints but also because of the influence they had on contemporary taste. The decision was made to "borrow" elements from Raphael's Vatican tapestries and insert them where the original frescoes were in too poor a state to be legible. The finished plates therefore represented an amalgam of design elements presented with a crisp freshness of colour that held enormous appeal and stimulated the taste for the "grotesque" in the neo-classical period.<br/> <br/>Cf.
