Acquaforte e acquatinta misure: mm 151 x 155; foglio 337 x 226 Storico dell’arte, collezionista e incisore italiano, appartenente a una famiglia di possidenti friulani di origini nobiliari frequenta le scuole a Roma. Si sposta poi a Venezia dove frequenta la Scuola libera del nudo dell’Accademia di Belle Arti, qui conosce Amedeo Modigliani con il quale condivide lo studio, a testimonianza di tale amicizia restano due ritratti, due pastelli oggi conservati presso i Musei Civici di Udine. Mauroner decide di dedicarsi all’arte calcografica grazie anche all’incontro con l’incisore scozzese Edward Millington Synge (1860 – 1913), assimila lo stile della scuola anglosassone innestandolo sul modello della tradizione veneta settecentesca. Nel 1926 sposa Cecilia Fortuny, figlia e nipote di due impareggiabili artisti, segno del clima raffinato e cosmopolita veneziano in cui Mauroner era immerso e che certo ha forgiato il suo gusto. Attento agli effetti delle luci sulle superfici, ai contrasti chiaroscurali e ai volumi prospettici, adotta un segno fine e delicato, neri profondi ottenuti con fitti tratteggi incrociati. Espone regolarmente alla Biennale veneziana e i numerosi viaggi nel mondo gli consentono di intessere una rete di contatti utile tanto alla sua arte (espone infatti a Parigi, Londra, New York, Los Angeles) quanto alla formazione della sua collezione di grafica internazionale poi donata ai Musei Civici di Udine. E’ considerato dalla critica come “l’ultimo vedutista veneziano”. Dal 1939 si dedica esclusivamente allo studio dell’arte incisoria veneziana del settecento e alla promozione dell’incisione contemporanea collaborando alle varie edizioni della Biennale veneziana. Questa stampa è un ricordo del lungo viaggio che Mauroner ha compiuto tra le regioni nord-africane. In Tunisia, nella città di Kairouan, è notte, una porticato è rischiarato da una grande lanterna, uomini seduti al fresco su grandi panche di legno conversano davanti ad una porta aperta. Una scena di vita apparentemente insignificante assume, grazie all'uso di un attento chiaroscuro e di un segno a tratti fitto e profondo, a tratti delicato ed elegante, un valore scenografico, immateriale che si eleva dalla mera descrizione del reale. A matita nel margine inferiore a sinistra numerazione 9/50 e titolo, a destra la firma. In basso sempre a matita dedica "Al Gentilissimo Colonnello Ferrari-Bravo". Impressione eccellente, dai neri intensi. Ampi margini oltre la battuta del rame. Stato unico. Bibliografia: Isabella Reale, a cura di, Fabio Mauroner Incisore, pag. 74, n 64.

Very Good Arabic Original autograph document/letter sealed by Ahmad I of Tunisia. 54x42 cm. 1 p. 6 long lines. The letter includes full of poetic praise. It must be sent after successful diplomatic intercourse with Naples. Ferdinand II (Ferdinando Carlo) was King of the Two Sicilies from 1830 until his early death in 1859. It starts with 'Thank God alone', and goes on 'From poor Ahmad Pasha to Lord Almighty Field Marshal Amîr [ruler]. Sealed by the seal of Ahmad Basha Beg including an impressive qasidah in Arabic. Ahmed I (ibn Mustafa), born 2 December 1805 in Tunis died May 1855 at La Goulette, was the tenth Husainid Bey of Tunis, ruling from 1837 until his death. He was responsible for the abolition of slavery in Tunisia in 1846. He succeeded his father Mustafa Bey on 10 October 1837. He had grand ambitions - to expand his army and create a modern navy; to build a new royal residence, a mint and modern institutions of education but neither he nor his brother-in-law the young Mustapha Khaznadar who served as his finance minister, had a clear idea of what such initiatives would cost. As a result, many of his projects became expensive failures which damaged the financial health of the country. Soon after his accession, Ahmad Bey received the traditional Firman from the Sublime Porte which formally invested him with authority to rule from the Ottoman Empire and furnished him with the insignia of office. The Ottoman envoy, Osman Bey, arrived in la Goulette on 15 May 1838 onboard a frigate. The following day, Osman Bey made his official entry into Tunis on horseback, preceded by all the ministers of the beylical cabinet who went before him until he was two leagues from the city. Before he were carried the sword of honor and the caftan to be presented to the Bey. He was escorted by spahis and followed by a large contingent of regular troops an Arab cavalry. Three days after his official entry into the city, the envoy presented himself at the Bardo Palace to formally invest Ahmad Bey with his insignia of office and present gifts. Named as a Divisional General in the Ottoman army in May 1838, he was later promoted by the Sultan to the rank of Marshal on 14 August 1840. This was the first time that a Bey of Tunis had held a rank higher than Divisional General. The purpose of these honors was to emphasize the supremacy of the Ottoman Empire over the Regency of Tunis. Under a treaty with France signed in 1830 by Hussein Bey, a piece of land in Carthage had been ceded to allow the erection of a monument to Louis IX of France who had died there during the Eighth Crusade. On 25 August 1840, the first stone was laid in the cathedral of Carthage. Ahmad Bey also permitted the Christian community of Tunis, consisting mainly of European merchants, to enlarge their small church near the Bab el Bhar. In June and July 1846 the Duke of Montpensier, son of King Louis Philippe of France visited Tunis and Carthage. He was received with great solemnity by Ahmad Bey. According to the Tunisian historian Mohamed Bayram V, Bey's reforms were focused on state structures, the army, and education. He established a modern structure of government and gave his high officials the title of 'minister'. His senior ministers were his Grand Vizier Mustafa Sahib at-Taba'a, Mustapha Khaznadar, Minister of Finance and of the Interior, Mustafa Agha as Minister of War, Mahmoud Khodja as Minister of the Navy and Giuseppe Raffo as Foreign Minister. At certain times Mahmoud Ben Ayed also served as Trade Minister, Kuchuk Muhammad in the honorific post of Minister in charge of the security home of Ahmad Bey's reforms wasted money, such as the large frigate built at La Goulette that could not make it through the channel to the sea. of Tunis and Mohamed Lasram IV as Minister of the Pen. The historian Ibn Abi Dhiaf was the Bey's private secretary. Among Ahmad Bey's successes may be counted as the abolition of slavery in January 1846.
