An Original Hand-Coloured Aquatint Engraving From SIR WILLIAM HAMILTON'S Collection of Etruscan Greek and Roman Antiquities.

176626548Naples 1766-1776. A single aquatint plate drawn and engraved after the original pieces in the Hamilton collection. The colour aquatint shows a seated muscular long-haired man he holds the head of a dwarf or murdered reveler in his left hand his right hand holds a spear. In front of this man there stands a satyr holding a spear and wine bucket. The background is black the image coloured with shades of tan brown terra-cotta and gold. Printed on a single folio sheet measuring approximately 20" x 13" the image approximately 11.25" X 11.5". Now presented in cream mounting boards 22" x18" behind clear mylar. A very fine plate in an excellent state of preservation. A BEAUTIFUL AND IMPRESSIVE PLATE FROM A MASTERPIECE OF CLASSIC ART RENDERINGS AND PUBLICATION. Hamilton served as British envoy to the court of Naples where he began collecting Greek vases and other antiquities immediately upon arriving at his post. In 1766–67 he published a volume of engravings of his collection entitled A Collection of Etruscan Greek and Roman antiquities from the cabinet of the Honble. Wm. Hamilton. A further three volumes were produced in 1769–76. Josiah Wedgwood the potter and porcelain maker drew great inspiration from the reproductions presented in Hamilton's volumes. While widely recognized for their beauty the reproductions from Hamilton's vases have become evidence of the irreconcilable problem of neoclassicism in the Romantic period. Significant changes in the way the vases were engraved over a span of thirty or forty years demonstrate how an immutable collection of objects is subject to radical shifts in representation in response to the social and artistic styles of the time. hardcover

An American sculptor and woodcut artist. "James Grashow was born in Brooklyn in 1942 and has been creating works that address themes of man nature and mortality since the 1960's" "The scale of his work ranges from large environmental installations through which the viewer traverses to the delicate and contained world of his houseplants where homes and buildings replace flowers and buds in intricately constructed bouquets." - The artist's website -Judith Jaidinger b. 1941. One of the two female artists represented here. Born in Chicago Illinois. "Judith Jaidinger's obsession with cutting began in her 1960s student days at the School of the Art Institute and is linked to her equally long frankly sensuous relationship with boxwood. She was introduced to both in an engraving class taught by British-born print-master Adrian Troy. "At the same time printing industry technology had moved on supplanting woodblock engravings with line drawings and photography. 'A dying art' Jaidinger says. It was also a seriously slumping industry. But in the 1960s in Chicago hub of an enormous catalog business there were still a few commercial wood-engraving establishments turning out the precise detailed images more typical of the previous century. One of them Sander Wood Engraving on Dearborn Street was where Professor Troy a committed modernist sent his students to buy the best material: rare English-grown boxwood blocks. "'He warned us' Jaidinger recalls 'If you go to Sander and buy your wood from them don't look at what those engravers are doing. I don't want you to be influenced by them.' "That made it irresistible." - Reader- Chicago's alternative nonprofit newsroom -Stefan Martin 1936-1994. Born in Elgin Illinois and a graduate of the Art Institute of Chicago. He was also active in Roosevelt New Jersey. His work is held in private museums and collections throughout the world including the Metropolitan Museum and the Smithsonian Institution. -Michael McCurdy 1942-2016.
