Description
Popular costume scene in the typical style of Bartolomeo Pinelli, taken from the rare Raccolta di cinquanta costumi li più interessanti delle città, terre, e paesi, in provincie diverse del Regno di Napoli disegnati, ed incisi all’acquaforte da Bartolomeo Pinelli Romano Dedicati printed In Roma, MDCCCXII. Presso Giovanni Scudellari in Via Condotti n. 19 e 20.
Rare and beautiful series depicting individual and group popular costumes of the Kingdom of Naples (southern Italy).
Pinelli was an Italian printmaker, painter, sculptor and draughtsman. He learnt the rudiments of sculpture from his father, a maker of cheap religious statuettes. This early training encouraged Pinelli to emphasize plasticity and expression over the Neo-classical values prevalent in Rome. Although only a few of his terracotta figures survive however, he did produce a volume of etchings, Gruppi pittoreschi (Rome, 1834), depicting rustic groups. Its emphasis on naturalism and everyday subject-matter is also characteristic of his sculptures. Although he studied both at the Accademia di San Luca in Rome and at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Bologna, helped financially by Conte Lambertini, Pope Benedict XIV’s nephew, Pinelli was not interested in pursuing the traditional path to artistic success via religious or history painting. On returning to Rome in the late 1790s he chose to peddle his works at the cafés frequented by tourists.
Copperplate, finely hand coloured, in excellent condition.
