Acquaforte su lastra di zinco, misure: mm 103 x 190; foglio mm 375x 505. In basso a destra timbro a secco «Centenario Gio. Fattori 1925». Lastra conservata presso il Gabinetto Disegni e Stampe degli Uffizi. Esemplare appartenente alla tiratura Benaglia, eseguita in occasione del centenario dalla nascita di Giovanni Fattori nel 1925, quando Giovanni Malesci (nominato dal Maestro suo erede universale) decise di dare alle stampe 164 lastre (per un totale di 166 fogli, perchè due incise anche sul verso) tra le 178 ritrovate nello studio di Fattori stesso. Così furono eseguite 2 tirature da 50 esemplari presso l’editore Benaglia di Firenze, a seguito delle quali le matrici furono donate al Gabinetto dei Disegni e delle Stampe degli Uffizi. Bellissima impressione stampata su carta con filigrana "Corona merlata sulla scritta UMBRIA / ITALIA" e filigrana "Ovale con lettere CPO". Ampi margini intonsi, ottima conservazione. Pittore e incisore. Viene soprattutto ricordato come uno dei principali esponenti del movimento dei Macchiaioli e come artista di spicco nel panorama ottocentesco, nonché come prolifico incisore dal segno vivace e del tutto personale. Fattori era solito stampare da sé i suoi lavori utilizzando un piccolo torchio, esegue tirature irregolari spesso contraddistinte da una ricerca per gli effetti di chiaroscuro e da un uso sapiente delle velature. Gli esemplari di una stessa lastra sono perciò spesso differenti, più carichi e attenti agli effetti di luce nelle tirature curate dall’autore, meno caldi e più nitidi quelli fatti stampare presso la Calcografia. Il ritratto, i soggetti militari, testimonianza dell’interesse verso i fatti risorgimentali, gli animali della campagna e gli scorci di vita comune sono i soggetti che più lo impegnano.

Example belonging to the Benaglia issue, made on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of Giovanni Fattori in 1925, when Giovanni Malesci (appointed by the Master as his universal heir) decided to print 164 plates (for a total of 166 sheets, because two of them were also engraved on the reverse) from among the 178 found in Fattori's studio. Thus, two issues of 50 copies were printed by the publisher Benaglia of Florence, and afterwards the plates were donated to the Gabinetto dei Disegni e delle Stampe of the Uffizi.

1930176834Chefoo: Self-help Department Women's Bible School Presbyterian Mission c.1930. A dainty album of handmade papercuts by Chinese students at the Ai Dao Women's Bible School attached to the American Presbyterian Mission in Chefoo. Throughout the 1930s the school produced various themed papercut collections to raise funds and comparison with other copies of the same title reveals that each was bound in brocade of a unique design. The collection tells the story of seven moral exemplars who all displayed obedience and respectfulness towards their elders even when faced with hardships. The story of Jiang Si is typical: "The mother of this boy demanded fish to eat every day and insisted that all their food be cooked in spring water. This kept the family hard pressed as the son had to waste half of each working day while fishing. His little wife had to make a long trip to get the spring water also. But they did this uncomplainingly till in appreciation of such devotion the fairies gave them a wonderful spring right by their door and in it each day they found two fish!" The education of women became a priority for social reformers in the wake of the May Fourth Movement and schools like Ai Dao were at the forefront of this revolution in education.

Acquaforte e bulino, 1650 circa, numerata 11 nell’angolo superiore sinistro. Questa tavola appartiene alla suite di Baccanalia descritte da Robert- Dusmenil (IV, 12-17) il cui frontespizio, inciso da Nicolas Cochin il Vecchio recita “Recueil de diverses Baccanales de Poussin, Chapperon, D’origny et autres”. Tutte le stampe della serie contengono gli indirizzi dei rispettivi editori ma non i nomi dei disegnatori e degli incisori, il che rende difficile attribuire definitivamente le opere ad artisti specifici. Le stampe furono probabilmente pubblicate per la prima volta dagli editori François Langlois, noto come 'il Ciartres' (1589 Chartres - 1647 Parigi), e Philippe Huart (attivo intorno al 1639-1648) e furono seguite da una seconda edizione pubblicata da Pierre Mariette. I disegni per le incisioni potrebbero provenire da Nicolas Chaperon o dallo stesso Dorigny. Sei tavole della suite, benchè prive della firma dell’autore, per ragioni stilistiche, sono riconducibili a Dorigny, autore di un’altra suite di Baccanalia, composta anch’essa da sei lastre, tutte recanti la sua firma (Robert-Dusmenil, IV, 6-11). Incentrate sulle attività di Bacco, Sileno e la loro allegra compagnia, queste due serie di affascinanti composizioni all'acquaforte dimostrano la ricchezza e la destrezza dei poteri di invenzione di Dorigny. In contrasto con la maggior parte delle sue prime interpretazioni delle opere di Vouet e altri, dove spesso usava il bulino per aumentare leggermente la sua vigorosa acquaforte (vedi cat. 102), alcune delle stampe successive di Dorigny, in particolare queste due suite di baccanali, si affidano ancora di più al bulino. Questa tendenza è parallela a un graduale cambiamento nel suo disegno, che rivela una crescente tendenza verso contorni pronunciati e figure più scultoree. Dopo essersi formato per cinque anni sotto Georges Lallemand a Parigi, Michel Dorigny si unisce presto alla cerchia del pittore Simon Vouet, con il quale stringe un'amicizia stretta e duratura. Dorigny divenne in seguito uno dei principali interpreti in campo tipografico dell'opera pittorica di Vouet e fu anche coinvolto come pittore in diversi progetti artistici del maestro. Le sue stampe comprendono opere su temi religiosi e mitologici così come stampe singole e serie su temi dionisiaci. Le suite probabilmente risalgono agli anni ’50 del XVII secolo quando, dopo la morte di Vouet. Bellissima prova, ricca di toni, impressa su carta vergata coeva, con margini, in ottimo stato di conservazione. Bibliografia Robert-Dusmenil, IV, p. 254, 14: Reed, French Prints from the Age of the Musketeers, p. 233. Etching and engraving, 1650 circa, numbered 11 at lower left. After training for five years under Georges Lallemand in Paris, Michel Dorigny soon joined the circle around the painter, Simon Vouet, with whom he struck up a close and lasting friendship. Dorigny subsequently became one of the main printmaking interpreters of Vouet’s painted oeuvre and was also involved as a painter in several of the master’s artistic projects. His prints include works on religious and mythological themes as well as individual prints and series on Dionysian topics. It is to this latter category that six etchings belong which Dorigny produced together with Nicolas Chaperon and other artists for the series entitled Recueil de diverses Bacchanales (Robert-Dumesnil, vol. IV, p. 254, nos. 12–17). All the prints in the series contain the addresses of the respective publishers but not the names of the designers and engravers, which makes it difficult to definitively ascribe the works to specific artists. The prints were probably first issued by the publishers François Langlois, known as ‘il Ciartres’ (1589 Chartres – 1647 Paris), and Philippe Huart (active around 1639–1648) and were followed by a second edition published by Pierre Mariette. The designs for the etchings may well stem from Nicolas Chaperon or from Dorigny himself. Another suite of six bacchanals (Robert – Dusmenil 6-11) bears on each plate the name of D’Origny as engraver. Both suites probably date to the 1650 when, after Vouet’s death, Dorigny became one of the most important decorative painters in Paris. Focused on the activities of Bacchus, Silenus, and their merry band of associates, these two etched sets of charming compositions demonstrate the wealth and dexterity of Dorigny's powers of invention. In contrast to most of his earlier interpretations of the works of Vouet and others, where he often used engraving to lightly augment his vigorous etching (see cat. 102), some of Dorigny's later prints, espe- cially these two suites of bacchanals, rely even more on engraving. This trend parallels a gradual shift in his draftsmanship, which reveals an increasing tendency towards pronounced contours and more sculptural figures. A fine impression, printed with tone on contemporary laid paper, with margins, very good condition.

17853784<b><i>Founding of Harvard Medical School</i></b><br /><br /><i>The Boston Magazine</i> was published from October 1783 to December 1786 and was the first magazine to be published in Boston in the aftermath of the American Revolution. A major attraction of this issue is the presence of the front and rear printed wrappers although they are frayed and detached. The front wrapper features a large woodcut of the State House and surrounding buildings in Boston.The first 3 1/2 pages of the<i> Magazine</i> are Harvard's announcement from September 1783 of the creation of "the Medical Institution" now known as Harvard Medical School. This is followed by about two pages of an address "to the students in physic" i.e. the medical students reflecting upon the first two years of the medical school and outlining the requirements for a medical degree. About two pages are devoted to the sailing directions into and out of Plymouth Harbour. A brief news item in the "Monthly Chronology" reports a meeting to be held in October in Falmouth in the District of Maine on creating a "separate government" for the eastern counties -- a very early report on a separation that would not happen for another 35 years. Issues of <i>The Boston Magazine</i> in the original wrappers are extremely uncommon.<b>References</b>: Mott<i> A History of American Magazines 1741-1850</i>: Vol. I p. 28.

These alternated between an esquisse --a rough sketch for which up to twelve hours was allowed--and a rendu --the large-scale finished drawing for which one to three months were allowed.Two to four years were usually required for a student to accumulate enough credits to enter the première classe. The same system was followed again usually for two to three years after which the student should have accumulated enough credits to compete for the Grand Prix de Rome. The winner of the Grand Prix was entitled to five years study under the auspices of the French Academy in Rome. For each of his first three years he was required to submit an analytical study of an ancient monument. For his fourth year he had to submit a complete reconstruction of a major classical work. For his fifth year he was required to submit an original work designed to a program of his own invention. "This study of the sarcophagus of Lucius Cornelius Scipio Barbatus was part of an Ecole de Beaux Arts student's portfolio. The sarcophagus was one of many in the Scipio family tomb on the Via Appia just outside of Roma and it dates from c. 290 B.C. The obituary text reads English "Lucius Cornelius Scipio Barbatus son of Gnaeus a valiant gentleman and wise whose fine form matched his bravery very well was aedile consul and censor among you he conquered Taurasia and Cisauna in fact Samnium he overcame all the Lucanian lands and brought back hostages."<br/> <br/> Arthur Drexler The Architecture of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts.
