- RARISSIMO PRIMO STATO DI SEI, dalla PRIMA EDIZIONE delle CARCERI - Acquaforte, bulino, tinta allo zolfo e bruniture, firmata in lastra in basso a destra. Tavola della PRIMA edizione delle 'Carceri'. Esemplare nel primo stato di sei secondo Robison. Magnifica prova, impressa su carta vergata coeva con filigrana "cerchio e giglio, margini di circa 8 mm, in ottimo stato di conservazione.Le 'Carceriì in prima edizione sono di eccezionale rarità. Secondo un censimento fatta da Andrew Robison, solo 16 esemplari completi dell'opera in prima tiratura sono noti nelle raccolte pubbliche di tutto il mondo.Senza dubbio la serie più nota e celebrata fra le opere del Piranesi. La serie è databile intorno al 1745, e comprendeva quattordici tavole, includendo il frontespizio che portava il titolo di Invenzioni Capric di Carceri all’acquaforte datte in luce da Giovanni Buzard in Roma, mercante al Corso. Una seconda stesura delle stesse, subito successiva, recava il titolo con il nome dell’editore giustamente corretto in Bouchard. E’ fuori di dubbio che l’idea, assolutamente innovativa, per la realizzazione di questa opera nasce da un collegamento molto stretto con la serie denominata Prima Parte di Architetture non solo per la vicinanza di tempo che intercorre tra i due lavori, ma proprio per il preciso intendimento ideologico che l’artista aveva in quel periodo in fatto di architettura. La serie venne ripubblicata dopo ben quindici anni, nel 1761, ampiamente riveduta e corretta. Il Piranesi non era nuovo a ripensamenti e variazioni sulle proprie opere, ma molto interessante è analizzare il motivo che lo indusse a riproporre, cambiandolo nella forma, questo importante lavoro. Le esperienze archeologiche condotte nello studio che porterà alle Antichità Romane (1756), le polemiche con architetti e le loro teorie del periodo, la consapevolezza di aver affinato ancora la propria tecnica stilistica, e il variato concetto architettonico lo indussero a mettere mano alle Carceri. E’ con questa nuova ed arricchita sapienza incisoria che l’artista va a ripescare le vecchie lastre, e dopo la rielaborazione, le ripresenta nel pieno della figura polemica e della lotta ideologica in fatto di architettura che in quegli anni conduceva. La riproposizione della serie rappresenta per il Piranesi un aspetto ben preciso, ovvero ripresentare, rinforzandolo, il messaggio polemico e di polemica architettonica già affrontato quindi anni prima. Lo scardinamento degli spazi e della prospettiva, della logica e di tutti i principi comuni affermati nei trattati, rottura totale con le leggi tradizionali e gli insegnamenti accademici dell’architettura. Due sono le tavole aggiunte nella seconda edizione, che quindi comprende il frontespizio e quindici lastre. Notevoli le differenze stilistiche tra il corpus dell’opera e le due nuove lastre, dove notevoli sono la complessità di struttura e di composizione architettonica, che dimostrano il cambiamento avvenuto in seguito allo studio archeologico dei grandi monumenti romani.Di diverso aspetto l’effetto emotivo che suscita la visione delle singole opere che compongono la serie, che con il loro aspetto malinconico costituiscono un elemento di perenne richiamo, di inesausta vitalità, e di estrema modernità. I ponti sospesi, le reti, i ballatoi, le scale e quanto altro presente nelle Carceri sono stati esame di numerosi studi, che una copiosa letteratura ha colto sin dal romanticismo, dando loro una grande popolarità, esaltandone le molteplici reazioni emozionali che le stesse conferivano. - THE VERY RARE FIRST STATE, from the FIRST EDITION of CARCERI -Etching, engraving, sulphur tint and burnishing, 1750, signed at lower right. From the Carceri set, from the first edition, first issue. Example in the first state of six described by Robison, from the contemporary roman edition.A magnific impression, printed with black ink on contemporary laid paper with "encircled fleur de lys" watermark, with small margins (about 8 mm), very good condition.The first edition of 'Carceri' is absolutely rare. According with Andrew Robison, there are only 16th complete set of the first edition and first issue preserverd in the libraries.Undoubtedly these is the best known and most celebrated series among the works by Piranesi. The series, datable around 1745, consisted of fourteen plates, with the title page bearing the title Invenzioni Capric di Carceri all’acquaforte datte in luce da Giovanni Buzard in Roma, mercante al Corso. In the second issue, immediately subsequent, the title presents the publisher’s name rightly corrected in Bouchard. There is no doubt that the innovative idea of this work comes from a very close connection with the series titled Prima Parte di Architetture not only for the proximity of the dates, but also because both the series reflect the Piranesi’s precise ideology on architecture.The series was re-published fifteen years later , in 1761. Robison 38 I/VI, Hind 12, Focillon 35.
Acquaforte stampata in verde / blu, tratta da The tapestry hangings of the House of Lords: representing the several engagements between the English and Spanish fleets, in the ever memorable year MDLXXXVIII, with the portraits of the Lord High-Admiral, and the other noble commanders, taken from the life. To which are added, from a book entitled, Expeditionis Hispanorum in Angliam Vera Descriptio, A.D. 1588, done, as is supposed, for the said tapestry to be work'd after, ten charts of the sea-coasts of England, and a general one of England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Holland, &c. shewing the places of action between the two fleets; ornaments with medals struck upon the occasion, and other suitable devices. Also an historical account of each day's action, collected from the most authentic manuscripts and writers. By John Pine, engraver. London, MDCCXXXIX. Sold by J. Pine in Old Bond Street near Picadilly. Poco dopo la sconfitta dell'armata spagnola del 1588, Lord Howard of Effingham, comandante della flotta britannica, commissionò a Robert Adams la produzione di una serie di disegni che rappresentavano le varie fasi dell'azione; poi commissionò H.C. Vroom la realizzazione di una serie di disegni per arazzi, basati sul lavoro di Adams. Le tele furono tessute da Francis Spiring di Haarlem. Alcuni anni dopo, i disegni furono venduti a Giacomo I e, successivamente, arredarono le pareti della Camera dei Lord. Tutti gli arazzi, tranne uno rubato precedentemente, furono bruciati insieme a gran parte del Palazzo di Westminster nel 1834. La grande opera di Pine che raffigura questa famosa battaglia navale è, ora, di grande importanza storica. A parte il notevole dettaglio dell'incisione e la ricchezza dell'invenzione nei vari cartigli, l'uso contenuto dell'inchiostro colorato per stampare la superficie della lastra produce un effetto sorprendentemente attraente e rappresenta un importante esempio primordiale della stampa a colori per le illustrazioni. Bellissimo esemplare, stampato su carta vergata coeva, con pieni margini, in ottimo stato di conservazione.

Pine in Old Bond Street near Picadilly. Shortly after the defeat of the Spanish “Armada” in 1588, Lord Howard of Effingham, commander of the British Fleet, commissioned Robert Adams to produce a series of charts representing the various phases of the action and then H.C. Vroom to produce a series of designs for tapestries, based on the work of Adams. They were woven by Francis Spiring of Haarlem. Some years later, they were sold to James I and eventually came to furnish the walls of the House of Lords. All the tapestries, except one stolen at an earlier date and now lost, were burned in the fire that destroyed most of the Palace of Westminster in 1834. Pine's great work depicting this famous naval battle is therefore now of great historical importance. Apart from the remarkable detail of the engraving and the wealth of invention in the various cartouches, the restrained use of coloured ink to print the plate surface produces a strikingly attractive effect, and represents a very early example of the colour-printing of illustrations.

Acquaforte stampata in verde / blu, tratta da The tapestry hangings of the House of Lords: representing the several engagements between the English and Spanish fleets, in the ever memorable year MDLXXXVIII, with the portraits of the Lord High-Admiral, and the other noble commanders, taken from the life. To which are added, from a book entitled, Expeditionis Hispanorum in Angliam Vera Descriptio, A.D. 1588, done, as is supposed, for the said tapestry to be work'd after, ten charts of the sea-coasts of England, and a general one of England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Holland, &c. shewing the places of action between the two fleets; ornaments with medals struck upon the occasion, and other suitable devices. Also an historical account of each day's action, collected from the most authentic manuscripts and writers. By John Pine, engraver. London, MDCCXXXIX. Sold by J. Pine in Old Bond Street near Picadilly. Poco dopo la sconfitta dell'armata spagnola del 1588, Lord Howard of Effingham, comandante della flotta britannica, commissionò a Robert Adams la produzione di una serie di disegni che rappresentavano le varie fasi dell'azione; poi commissionò H.C. Vroom la realizzazione di una serie di disegni per arazzi, basati sul lavoro di Adams. Le tele furono tessute da Francis Spiring di Haarlem. Alcuni anni dopo, i disegni furono venduti a Giacomo I e, successivamente, arredarono le pareti della Camera dei Lord. Tutti gli arazzi, tranne uno rubato precedentemente, furono bruciati, insieme a gran parte del Palazzo di Westminster nel 1834. La grande opera di Pine che raffigura questa famosa battaglia navale è, ora, di grande importanza storica. A parte il notevole dettaglio dell'incisione e la ricchezza dell'invenzione nei vari cartigli, l'uso contenuto dell'inchiostro colorato per stampare la superficie della lastra produce un effetto sorprendentemente attraente e rappresenta un importante esempio primordiale della stampa a colori per le illustrazioni. Bellissimo esemplare, stampato su carta vergata coeva, con pieni margini, in ottimo stato di conservazione.

Shortly after the defeat of the Spanish “Armada” in 1588, Lord Howard of Effingham, commander of the British Fleet, commissioned Robert Adams to produce a series of charts representing the various phases of the action and then H.C. Vroom to produce a series of designs for tapestries, based on the work of Adams. They were woven by Francis Spiring of Haarlem. Some years later, they were sold to James I and eventually came to furnish the walls of the House of Lords. All the tapestries, except one stolen at an earlier date and now lost, were burned in the fire that destroyed most of the Palace of Westminster in 1834. Pine's great work depicting this famous naval battle is therefore now of great historical importance.
