Suggestiva veduta pastorale, intitolata "Brughiera", forse raffigurazione della campagna romagnola o toscana o piemontese, località dove visse l'autore, il noto artista bolognese. Incisione originale all'acquaforte, impressa dallo stampatore torinese Carlo Lovera. Il Bignami coniugò l’attività di pittore a quella, prevalente, di acquafortista, legato al gruppo degli incisori piemontesi della seconda metà dell’Ottocento dominato dalla personalità di A. Fontanesi. Tra il 1869 e il 1870 visse a Firenze, che raffigurò spesso nei suoi paesaggi. A Torino partecipò, dal 1863, alle mostre della Società Promotrice, affermandosi nel 1871 con tre dipinti: Il pasto ai pulcini, L'ultima ora del lavoro e Le nebbie del mattino in riva all'Arno. Nello stesso anno si segnalò alla Promotrice di Bologna con due paesaggi giudicati «d’impronta vera e di fattura coscienziosa». Le notizie sulla sua attività espositiva si fermano al 1877, poiché l’artista dovette rinunciare precocemente alla pittura per una malattia agli occhi e per vicissitudini familiari. In ottimo stato di conservazione. Etching, lettered along bottom 'Adolfo Bignami inc Lovera imp.' followed by title “Brughiera”. Printed by Carlo Lovera The plate shows a shepherd herding sheep in the Brughiera. Very good condition. Bignami combined the activity of painter to that, prevalent, etching, linked to the group of Piedmontese engravers of the second half of the nineteenth century dominated by the personality of A. Fontanesi. Between 1869 and 1870 he lived in Florence, which often depicted in his landscapes. In Turin participated, since 1863, the exhibitions of the Society Promotrice, establishing himself in 1871 with three paintings: The meal of chicks, The last hour of work and The morning mists on the banks of the Arno. In the same year he was noticed at the Promotrice of Bologna with two landscapes judged "of true imprint and conscientious workmanship". The news about his exhibition activity stop in 1877, since the artist had to give up painting early because of an eye disease and family vicissitudes.

Luigi Servolini (Livorno, 1906 - 1981) One of the great masters of Italian engraving, Luigi Servolini, graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara, then perfecting himself in History of Medieval and Modern Art at the University of Florence. He has held various roles within the Italian academic world and his production as an art critic is also impressive, a profession he did simultaneously with that of engraver. In 1935 he promoted the creation of a Xylograph Museum in Carpi, birthplace of the master Ugo da Carpi (ca 1480 - Rome 1532), inviting Italian xylographers to send their artworks, which today constitute an important nucleus of the museum itself, inaugurated in 1937. Together with Carlo Carrà he founded the association of the Italian engravers. His woodcuts are characterized by a classic cut and a formal order, and are soon recognizable. He has been present in as many as six biennials of Venice and seven four-years of Rome. Literature Comanducci A.M.

Acquaforte, 1844 circa, firmata e datata in lastra in basso al centro. Figlio del pittore paesaggista Jacob George Strutt (1790-1864), del quale fu allievo, girovagò attraverso la Francia e la Svizzera in compagnia del padre, prima di giungere entrambi in Italia nel 1831, per stabilirsi a Roma. Rimase per il resto della sua vita in Italia, interessandosi soprattutto agli aspetti "pittoreschi", in particolare a quelli della Campagna romana, rivolgendo la sua attenzione, in modo specifico, ai paesaggi e ai costumi degli abitanti. Nel 1841 intraprese un viaggio a piedi verso il sud dell'Italia (allora Regno delle Due Sicilie, in compagnia dell'amico William Jackson, partendo da Porta San Giovanni (Roma) il 30 aprile e giungendo a Palermo il 15 dicembre, dopo aver attraversato la Campania e la Calabria. Le sue osservazioni furono raccolte in un libro, A pedestrian tour in Calabria & Sicily (Un viaggio a piedi in Calabria e in Sicilia) che ebbe un notevole successo, soprattutto nei paesi anglosassoni, ed è considerato ancor oggi un documento molto importante per comprendere la società del Regno delle Due Sicilie nel periodo pre-unitario. Magnifica prova, impressa su carta coeva, ampi margini, in perfetto stato di conservazione. Etching, 1844 circa, signed and dated at the bottom. Arthur John Strutt (1819, in Chelmsford – 1888, in Rome), was an English painter, engraver, writer, traveller and archaeologist. He was the son of the landscape painter Jacob George Strutt (1790–1864) and the writer and traveller Elizabeth Strutt. In 1841 he travelled on foot through central and southern Italy and in Sicily. He and his friend, the poet William Jackson, otherwise unknown, started from the Porta San Giovanni of Rome on 30 April 1841, reaching Palermo on 15 December, and arriving back at Rome in July of the following year. An account of this journey is given in his A Pedestrian Tour in Calabria & Sicily published in London, in 1842. A fine impression, on contemporary paper, large margins, very good condition.
