Description

Veduta di Civita Castellana incisa ed pubblicata da Antonio Suntach; da un disegno di Philipp Hackert (1737-1747/ 1807).

Antonio Suntach (Bassano del Grappa 1744 – 1828) incisore calcografo ed editore veneto. Inizia la carriera sotto Volpato con Remondini a Bassano, copiando le stampe di Kauffman e Morland. Si sposa nel 1771 e si mette in proprio a Bassano con il sostegno della famiglia Ferrari; si ritira nel 1816 e vende l'attività (con sei torchi) e il magazzino a Remondini per 58.500 lire. Anche il figlio Giovanni (1776-1842) fu incisore e si formò a Londra presso i fratelli Schiavonetti.

Acquaforte, impressa su carta vergata coeva, uniforme brunitura, per il resto in buono stato di conservazione.
