China e matita misure: mm 112 x 141 Pittore, disegnatore, bibliofilo, letterato, collezionista, poeta, critico e storico dell’arte. A soli quindici anni è accolto nell'Accademia dell’Arcadia per i suoi componimenti poetici. Successivamente segue a Brera i corsi di Traballesi, Knoller e Appiani. Nel 1795 è a Roma dove stringe amicizia con Felice Giani , Angelika Kauffmann e soprattutto con Antonio Canova, di cui diventa amico fraterno. Nel 1801, a soli ventiquattro anni, è nominato Segretario dell’Accademia di Brera. Grazie anche al sostegno della Repubblica Cisalpina egli imprime una svolta radicale alla suddetta istituzione, redigendo i nuovi statuti, ampliando la collezione della Pinacoteca (si ricorda fra tutti l’acquisto dello “Sposalizio della Vergine” di Raffaello) e raccogliendo svariato materiale didattico; dalle stampe ai gessi ai libri. Viaggia intanto a Roma, Napoli e Parigi, dove fa la conoscenza di David. Nel 1802 vince il concorso bandito dalla repubblica Cisalpina con il dipinto “La Riconoscenza della Repubblica italiana a Napoleone”. Nel 1807 da le dimissioni dall'Accademia a causa dei contrasti col governo e la nuova politica- da lui giudicata troppo severa- di Napoleone. Nello stesso anno, su incarico del Viceré Eugenio di Beauharnais realizza una copia del Cenacolo vinciano. Per questa occasione pubblica nel 1810 il saggio “Del Cenacolo di Leonardo da Vinci”, che riscuote un immediato successo ed è ancora oggi considerato un testo fondamentale per lo studio del pittore toscano. Bossi muore prematuramente nel 1815 lasciando incompiuta la commissione per gli affreschi di Villa Melzi a Bellagio. Giuseppe Bossi fu un infaticabile ed eccelso disegnatore. Egli utilizzava il disegno come momento di studio ed elaborazione delle proprie idee figurative. Dotato di un segno veloce, sicuro ed energico; era inoltre in grado di realizzare, grazie all'uso di sapienti campiture acquerellate, opere di grande atmosfera. Nel foglio si vedono tre figure a penna. A sinistra l'abbraccio tra una figura seduta, probabilmente un uomo, caratterizzato da morbidi ciuffi di capelli e da un abito panneggiato, che sostiene una bimba dal lungo abito in piedi davanti a lui. Sulla destra viene raffigurato un bambino, il suo corpo e il suo volto sono costruiti mediante la linea di contorno, apparentemente sovradimensionato rispetto alle altre due figure. Fitte linee parallele danno profondità e creano le zone in ombra. Esemplare grafico elegante, studio preparatorio. Ottimo stato di conservazione.

CERVELLATI ALESSANDRO Acquarello originale: Cinema Fulgor. La Felsina Film presenta: Bianco e Nero con Lia Miari, 12 febbraio 1918. Disegno a quattro colori, di cm 23 x 29,5 in cornice. , , Il disegno, rappresenta l'intera figura di una donna in atteggiamento elegante, in abito lungo con guanti e ampio cappello. Come sempre, con pochi segni, Cervellati ci regala l'immaginario. Firmato e datato '974, in basso a sinistra, quindi una delle ultime opere dell'Artista. ALESSANDRO CERVELLATI viene considerato uno degli artisti bolognesi più rappresentativi del secondo '900, eppure proprio proprio bolognese non era essendo nato a Bertinoro di Romagna (l'8 marzo 1892). Bolognese, però, lo fu veramente ed appassionatamente con tutto il suo cuore e con tutta la sua splendida arte dove il segno, così immediato e netto, deciso e decisivo, toglie quasi l'utilità alle parole: ed è così per questo, tardo, ma efficacissimo disegno. Pochi segni, morbidi e sicuri ed ecco un'atmosfera si crea ed una immagine si forma. Così fu anche per le sue esperienze di scrittore, particolarmente in quelle del dopoguerra, i suoi disegni escono protagonisti dalle pagine, dalle pubblicità e dai tanti lavori che lo videro grande artefice della storia libraria bolognese di quegli anni. Bellissima la definizione che di lui diede Franco Solmi: "Immagini totali sono i libri di Cervellati": un Artista totale di parola e di segno. Morì nella "sua" Bologna il 29 dicembre 1974 Buono (Good) . <br> <br> <br>

018958[Positivisme] Richard Congreve (1818-1899), philosophe anglais, figure de proue du positivisme en Angleterre, à l'origine du schisme en 1878. L.A.S. en français, 17 Frédéric 89 [21 novembre 1877], 4p in-8. Au docteur Jean-François Robinet (1825-1899), médecin d'Auguste Comte et important positiviste français. « Cher et digne ami, Quant au subside, je vous remercie de m'avoir fait connaître l'état des choses. Mais c'est un imprimé pour 1876 que je désirais vu l'absence de la circulaire. Il est grandement temps que les souscripteurs en sachent quelque chose. A la fin de novembre 1877, ne pas être renseigné sur 1876, c'est regrettable. Sur ce chapitre, je suis en train de faire un changement qui me dégagera de toute responsabilité et me rendra plus disponible, en invitant les divers souscripteurs à vous adresser directement leurs contributions. Quant à [Pierre] Laffitte, je vous croyais au courant. J'extrais de votre lettre du 28 octobre cette phrase : "Quoiqu'il en [mot illisible], M. Laffitte m'a déclaré vouloir vous écrire de tout cela (le soulignement est de vous) : nous verrons". D'après cela, j'ai attendu. Il ne m'a pas écrit, quoiqu'il ait écrit à d'autres. Je vous remercie d'avoir transmis ma communication. Quant à la petite pointe que me lance M. Sémérie dans sa lettre à M. Laffitte, qu'il m'a communiquée, ainsi que celle de M. Laffitte, je l'ai vue avec un certain amusement. Mais sans y attacher d'importance. Je suis habitué à me voir regardé comme homme qui se berce d'illusions, sans esprit pratique &c &c. Pour la lettre elle-même, je l'ai trouvée juste forte. Mais depuis longtemps, j'ai remarqué dans mes fréquentations que vous vous parlez plus librement que nous ne le supposions et que cela ne tient à pas conséquence. Dans la choses publique, je crois que vous attachez trop d'importance à certaines considérations relative au noyau positiviste parisien. Autant que personne, je me suis efforcé de le maintenir et de le soutenir. Vous me rendrez cette justice. Si je me décide à agit autrement que je n'aie agi jusqu'ici, ce sera pas les considérations d'un ordre supérieur. Je dois relever une phrase de votre lettre - "mal poupé et mal renseigné". Ce coup sûr vous avez une large part à l'impulsion - et plus qu'une large part aux renseignements. N'est-ce pas vrai ? Il faut tâcher de voir d'autres périls que ceux du schisme, qui vaut mieux que le marasme. Mais le schisme est un grand mal. Seulement il existe de fait. Il ne faut pas fermer les yeux sur cela. Pour la question personnelle, il m'est bien difficile d'en parle. Et mieux vaut, selon moi, laisser agir le temps que d'en parler, où un mot déplacé pourrait faire tant de mal. Et, où n'écrivant pas en anglais , il me serait si facile de laisser échapper un mot déplacé. Il est constant que nous avons une grande cause à soutenir, un grand maître à suivre ; vous croyez soutenir l'un et suivre l'autre en vous attachant à un directeur que je juge incompétent. Ce n'est qu'un dissentiment sur une question concrète de personnes. Malheureusement, d'après la tournure qu'a prise l'affaire, cela implique mon élimination. Vous verriez en ma présence une rivalité et un danger. Enfin, c'est une séparation, il n'y a pas à dire autrement. Mais voilà que je me laisse aller. Croyez toujours, dans cette séparation, provisoire espérons-le, à ma sincère affection pour vous et les vôtres. Richard Congreve. Inutile, j'ajoute, après avoir écrit ma lettre, de dire combien j'ai été peiné des incidents de la crise et surtout en ce qui nous affecte. Je n'ai qu'une consolation, c'est de ne pas l'avoir provoquée. [et en tête de la première page] Je vous serais reconnaissant si vous les avez sous la main des circulaires 18-19-20 ». Eugène Sémérie (1832-1884) était un médecin, positiviste, proche du docteur Robinet. Les lettres entre positivistes sont rares. [443]

Truly a rare and special item! The first ever issue of 'The Wide World' magazine.
