Incisione a bulino ( mm 217x135), datata 1515. La prova, monogrammata e datata, forte di un bell'effetto chiaroscurale, nell'unico stato conosciuto, è impressa su carta databile ai primi decenni del Cinquecento. L'opera, tratta da un disegno di Baccio Bandinelli, si documenta tra le prime opere dell'autore. Cleopatra con l'aspide in mano è raffigurata nuda, risalta su un drappo scuro che scende da un arco, sullo sfondo un villaggio gotico su un lago. Appoggia il piede destro su cubo con l'iscrizione "Bacio Fi/orenti/no/ (invenit)". Le opere di questo breve periodo fiorentino rivelano un graduale superamento dei modi veneti in favore di un più accentuato plasticismo, pienamente conseguito nella presente lastra che anticipa i risultati artistici del periodo romano. Esemplare privo di margini, antico restauro di 2mm visibile al verso dell'estremo angolo superiore bianco. Agostino de Musi detto Veneziano (1490 ca. – Roma, 1540 ca.) dopo un periodo trascorso a Firenze si trasferì a Roma, dove conobbe Marcantonio Raimondi che gli fu maestro (Baldinucci, 1686). Il De Musi che generalmente contrassegnò le sue stampe con il monogramma "A. V." (Agostino Veneziano), in quattro intagli firmò per esteso come "Agustino di Musi" (S. Margherita, B. 119; Il vecchio pastore, B. 409; Gli animali, B. 414; La Vergine dalla scimmia, B. VII, 42) e in un quinto in latino: "Augustinus venetus de Musis ..." (Gli scheletri, B. 424). La sua produzione incisoria - spesso di soggetti inusuali - fu assai vasta, soprattutto se rapportata al breve arco di tempo in cui fu realizzata, all'incirca tra il 1514 e il 1536. Ricevette la sua prima formazione artistica prendendo come modello Campagnola e Dürer. Insieme a Marco Dente da Ravenna, contribuì con grande abilità alla prima vera e propria impresa artistico-commerciale impegnata nella riproduzione di soggetti raffaelleschi. .

Acquaforte misure: mm 217 x 170 Pittore e incisore spagnolo, collezionista e antiquario. Di umili origini restò presto orfano ma ebbe i primi insegnamenti dal nonno modellatore di figure in terracotta. Tentò la fortuna trasferendosi nel 1853 presso l'Escuela de Bellas Artes di Barcellona e grazie alle sue doti artistiche vinse il premio Roma nel 1857 che gli permise di proseguire gli studi a Roma. Qui giunse nel 1858 e iniziò a frequentare gli artisti spagnoli, subì l’influsso delle opere di Domenico Morelli e strinse amicizia con il pittore Attilio Simonetti (1843–1925) che lo portò alla scoperta degli artisti napoletani. Simonetti divenne suo allievo e divise con lui lo studio romano. Con lo scoppiare della guerra ispano-marocchina, Fortuny fu chiamato in Marocco per rappresentare e immortalare i momenti più salienti del combattimento tra il 1860 e il 1861. Durante tale soggiorno Fortuny prese ispirazione per molti suoi dipinti sia raffigurando con occhio documentario scorci o tipi pittoreschi sia rielaborando poi in studio in chiave raffinata e decadente certi altri soggetti più esotici e aderenti al gusto orientalista allora di gran moda. Nel 1862 tornò nuovamente in Italia, viaggiando tra Firenze e Napoli dove incontrò l'amico pittore Domenico Morelli, per poi tornare a Roma e aprire un nuovo studio in Via della Purificazione. Artista perennemente in viaggio fra l’Italia, la Spagna e Londra e Parigi dove divenne sodale dei migliori artisti del suo tempo, fu apprezzato e ricercato a livello internazionale per il suo gusto chiaro e cosmopolita. Sposò nel 1867 Cecilia de Madrazo y Garreta figlia del Direttore del Prado e nipote di un noto pittore spagnolo. Fortuny, il più internazionale e cosmopolita dei pittori spagnoli dell’Ottocento, si è dedicato all’incisione proponendo originali soggetti di genere spagnoleggiante o orientalista. La sua opera tradisce la profonda conoscenza dei maestri del passato quali Goya e Rembrandt. Fortuny impiega un segno minuto che si contraddistingue, nella maggior parte delle lastre, per la ricerca di violenti effetti di luce su ambienti in ombra. Le lastre, come la vita stessa dell’autore, sono state soggette a continui rimaneggiamenti oggi ben ricostruiti nel catalogo ragionato basato sullo studio degli esemplari conservati nei musei pubblici. Si possono perciò oggi ben identificare le varie tirature; le prove di lavoro, le tirature coeve e quelle postume fino al 1916 nonché le varie carte impiegate dall’autore. In questa stampa, la numero 28 del catalogo, come indicato dal numero inciso in alto a destra, viene rappresentato un uomo all'interno di una sala per lo più in ombra. Lo sfondo è scandito da due zone una più chiara a sinistra e in primo piano e una più grande scura a destra che si confonde con il volto dell'uomo. La forte inchiostrazione morbida e modulata e i giochi chiaroscurali ricordano la radice rembrantiana di Fortuny, il segno è libero e mosso; la lastra è uno tipico esempio della ricerca artistica del maestro. L'uomo è rappresentato in piedi frontalmente in abiti di foggia settecentesca, leggermente rivolto a destra ha il capo piegato a sinistra. La postura è solenne, indossa un lungo mantello realizzato con un tratto veloce e incisivo, porta un alto copricapo scuro, sembra indossare una maschera e con la mano sinistra si regge ad un bastone riccamente decorato alla sommità. Impressione eccellente dal tratto deciso, forte inchiostrazione su carta vergellata spessa. Esemplare appartenente alla terza tiratura (1878) con titolo in lastra in basso al centro e timbro riproducente la firma dell'artista in basso a destra. Ottimo stato di conservazione eccetto tracce di foxing. Ampi margini oltre la battuta del rame.

In-folio, carte (18), 502, (1b.); Iniziali xilografiche, grande marca tipografica al frontespizio. Legatura francese coeva in piena pelle, titolo manoscritto al dorso, piatto anteriore con difetti ma solida legatura; titolo al taglio anteriore, tagli rossi.
In folio (39x28 cm); 20, (2), (2 b.) pp. e 13 c. di tav. Legatura editoriale in mezza tela con titolo ed immagine al piatto anteriore (una leggerissima brunitura al margine superiore). Un ritaglio all’angolo superiore della prima carta bianca in corrispondenza di una dedica “Dono dell’Autore” a togliere il nome del personaggio al quale Lehrs dedicò l’opera. Il taglio è stato fatto anticamente e lo si può, facilmente, constatare dal fatto che si è formata una lieve brunitura al frontespizio, di forma quadrata, in corrispondenza dell’asportazione della carta. Esemplare per il resto in ottime condizioni di conservazione. Prima edizione (una seconda edizione uscì nel 1892), assai rara, di 250 esemplari numerati. Il nostro esemplare è uno degli esemplari di presentazione tirato fuori dalla numerazione come ben attesta la scritta a stampa in rosso che si trova al posto del numero dell’esemplare “Widmungs-Exemplar.”. Le 13 tavole che contengono le 45 carte, sono finemente incise con una bella e precisa battitura e ogni tavola è protetta da velina. Max Lehrs (24 giugno 1855 Berlino - 12 Novembre 1938, Dresda) è stato uno dei critici d’arte tedeschi più apprezzato della fine del XIX° secolo. Dopo esser stato nel commercio dei libri e delle opere d’arte prima e direttore del Museo della Slesia di Breslavia, poi, fu a lungo direttore della Dresden Kupferstichskabinett (dal 1896 al 1904 un a prima volta e poi dal 1908 al 1924). Fu uno dei primi a capire l’importanza delle riproduzioni fotografiche per la storia dell’arte ma anche come forma di espressione artistica, tanto da instituire un dipartimento di fotografia artistica. Fu anche un appassionato di danza alla visone della quale venne introdotto da Hugo Erfurth. E’ noto, in modo particolare, per la sua grande conoscenza degli incisori tedeschi ed olandesi del 400’ ai quali dedicò alcune importanti opere tanto che ancora oggi, i suoi lavori sono fra le più citate fonti bibliografiche su questi autori. Nonostante la cecità che lo colpì ad un certo punto della sua vita, poté portare avanti la compilazione di altri studi grazie alla sua memoria prodigiosa e all’aiuto della figlia. L’opera qui presentata è uno dei più celebri studi critici delle celebri carte da gioco del celebre orafo ed incisore del tardo gotico tedesco, conosciuto ancora oggi solo con le sue iniziali, il Maestro E. S. (circa 1420 – circa 1468), considerato una delle personalità artistiche più importanti nell'incisione a bulino della metà del XV secolo in Germania. I suoi celebri giochi di carte, probabilmente influenzati da quello che oggi è conosciuto con il nome di Maestro delle Carte da Gioco, da Rogier van der Weyden e Konrad Witz, sono uno degli esempi più elevati di giochi di carte quattrocenteschi giunti fino a noi ed è uno dei primi esempi, di utilizzo della tecnica xilografica (molto costosa all’epoca) per opere in tirature di opere in copie più consistenti. Opera rarissima. Rif. Bibl.: OCLC Number 6751904.
Litografia mm. 320x490. Litografia colorata da mano coeva incorniciata da dettagliato calendario e cornicetta grafica. Titolo al centro del foglio "Il maestro del Villaggio calendario dell'anno 1861. Lunazioni", sotto il quale sono indicate le lunazioni. al centro del margine inferiore i dati tipografici: "Firenze alla Cartoleria di Eugenia Formigli nè Carini e C.o in Condotta di faccia alla Locanda della Luna". Al centro del foglio una vignetta satirica che raffigura il maestro ormai sopraffatto dalle marachelle dei giovani studenti. Raro foglio volante, difficile a reperirsi soprattutto in così buono stato di conservazione, visto l'uso (scolastico) che si faceva di questi fogli. . .
