Description
Engraving, circa 1580, signed at lower center. After Federico Zuccari.
A great impression, printed on contemporary laid paper, good conditions.
The scene is shot, albeit with some modifications, by the Flagellation that Federico Zuccari painted in Rome in 1575 for the Oratory of Gonfalone.
Gaspar Oselli also known as Gaspar ab avibus, is an engraver native of Citadella, who liked to call himself by the name of Padovano. Active in Venice with a workshop “all’insegna Arca di Noè”, was formed mainly on the example of George Ghisi, by whom he recorded several works, often copying them. There are also numerous derivations from the work of Marco Angolo del Moro. However, his plates seem to be the most successful portraits of princes and members of the House of Austria made to designs by Francesco Terzi. This work is published by Benedetto Stefani, active in 1580. Oselli engraved with the same subject in a different form, for the Venetian publisher Luca Bertelli.
A very rare work.

Gaspare OSELLI detto "Gaspare degli Uccelli"

Although Gandellini wants him to be flourishing in 1577 and Basan qualifies him as Cesare de Avìbus and more often Cesar patavinus making him born in 1645 it constitutes on the other hand from incontrovertible evidence and from repeated legends affixed in various of his works that only around the year 1536 was he born in Cittadella and not Padua and that initiated at the school of Mantuan Giorgio Glusi in a short time he rivalled him in the handling of engraving His main prints in fact bear the date from 1560 to 1580 and are signed in different manners: Gaspar patavinus; Gaspar ab Avibus Citadelensis; Gasparo Oselle padovano; etc. In the style of the Sadelers he then carved in 72 pieces the portraits of the princes of the house of Austria for V by Francesco Terzi l of Bergamo, where in addition to a particular display of architecture there is a bizarre and magnificent grafting of sumptuous draperies of armor and emblems (N. Pietrucci, Biografia degli artisti Padovani).
