Acquaforte e acquatinta stampata con inchiostri blu, rosso, giallo e nero. Nel margine inferiore, sotto l'immagine, a sinistra: Schall px. a destra: Descourtis st. Due donne nude sedute in riva a un fiume, impegnate a leggere una lettera, mentre due giovani uomini nascosti nelle rocce dietro cercano di rubare i loro vestiti con una canna da pesca. Questa stampa a colori meticolosamente realizzata riproduce un dipinto a olio di Jean-Frédéric Schall, un artista meglio conosciuto per le sue scene pastorali e vagamente erotiche. Durante la Rivoluzione francese (1789-99), il mercato delle stampe a colori di lusso declinò, poiché i soggetti stuzzicanti e i segni del lusso erano considerati immorali. Quando gli atteggiamenti si rilassarono intorno al 1800, stampatori come Descourtis realizzarono alcune stampe a colori usando piastre multiple per stratificare inchiostri colorati come avevano fatto prima della Rivoluzione. Descurtis era allievo di Jean-Francois Janinet, che è considerato dalla critica artistica uno dei più importanti incisori a colori francesi e si mise in evidenza per le sue innovazioni tecniche, quali l'acquatinta in quadricromia, oltreché per lo stile caratterizzato dall'intensità dei colori Tuttavia, questo processo lungo e costoso fu presto sostituito dalla colorazione a mano che i lavoratori potevano realizzare più facilmente ed economicamente. Esemplare in ottimo stato di conservazione. Wash manner etching and engraving printed in blue, red, yellow, and black inks. In lower margin, beneath the image, at left: Schall p.x at right: Descourtis s.t Two naked woman sitting by a river and busy reading a letter, while two young men hidden in the rocks behind are trying to steal their clothes with a fishing rod. This meticulously crafted color print reproduces an oil painting by Jean-Frédéric Schall, an artist best known for his pastoral and mildly erotic scenes.During the French Revolution (1789–99), the market for deluxe color prints declined, as titillating subjects and signs of luxury were considered immoral. When attitudes relaxed around 1800, printmakers like Descourtis made a few color prints using multiple plates to layer tinted inks as they had before the Revolution. Descourtis learned his method of multiple-plate color printing from Jean Frarnçois Janinet and like him used toolwork on the plate rather than aquatint, an acid immersion process used to create general areas of shading. However, this time-consuming and expensive process was soon replaced by hand coloring that workers could more cheaply and easily accomplish. Very good example.

Acquaforte e rotella, 1864, firmata in lastra in basso a sinistra. IN basso a destra troviamo l’imprint dell’editore Carlo Lovera di Torino. Dimensioni: 420x305 mm (foglio), 215 mm x 175 mm (ovale). Stampata su carta cina, appllicata su carta coeva. Opera tratta da Album speciale della Società Promotrice delle Belle Arti di Torino. È questa la più bella delle acqueforti di Ferdinando Di Breme, forse l'unica in cui l'artista raggiunga un effettivo equilibrio tra il segno preciso e minuto della tradizione del Lauro e quello sciolto e libero di Fontanesi. Ferdinando Di Breme Di Sartirana, nato da una delle maggiori famiglie dell'aristocrazia di Milano, si trasferì adolescente a Torino, visse a Parigi tra il '37 e il '48 dove venne nominato presidente della Società Entomologica di Francia. Nel '49 venne nominato Senatore del Regno, nel '50 Presidente della Società Promotrice di Belle Arti di Torino e nel '55 Direttore dell'Accademia Albertina. L'intervento del Di Breme a favore della diffusione della grafica originale non si limitò ai provvedimenti istituzionali, ma si concretò pure in una cospicua attività acquafortista, dovuta alla frequentazione del Fontanesi a Ginevra. Nel 1864 esce a Torino l'Album speciale della Promotrice, con il frontespizio e una tavola del Di Breme. Il presidente della Società degli acquafortisti di Parigi le lodava per "la fermeté du dessein et l'énergie de la pointe". Infatti, il Breme., che ebbe anche il merito d'instaurare all'Albertina una scuola d'incisione, occupa un posto non trascurabile tra i grafici italiani del secolo scorso. In perfetto stato di conservazione. Bibliografia Guido Giubbini, L'acquaforte originale in piemonte e in liguria 1860-1875, 1976, p. 193, n. 8, fig. 110. Etching and wheel, 1864, signed in plate at lower left. At lower right is the imprint of the publisher Carlo Lovera of Turin. Size: 420x305 mm (sheet), 215 mm x 175 mm (oval). Printed on Chinese paper, applied on contemporary paper. This work is taken from the Album Speciale della Società Promotrice delle Belle Arti di Torino. This is the most beautiful of Ferdinando Di Breme's etchings, perhaps the only one in which the artist achieves an effective balance between the precise and minute style of the Lauro tradition and the loose and free style of Fontanesi.

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.
