Description
View taken from the series Le Fontane di Roma, 1680 approx. Begun by Giovan Battista Falda in about 1667, the series was completed by Giovanni Francesco Venturini, who engraved - from his own drawings - the two series Le fontane del giardino estense in Tivoli and Le fontane ne' palazzi e ne' giardini di Roma con li loro prospetti et ornamenti, published by the Roman publisher G. G. De Rossi (about 1684) to complete the famous work.
Venturini was an engraver, born in Rome in 1650 and died after 1710. His name is especially linked to the two series of prints, drawn and engraved by him, Le fontane ne' palazzi e ne' giardini di Roma and Le fontane del giardino estense in Tivoli, con... view of the waterfall of the Aniene River, published by Giovanni Giacomo De Rossi, circa 1684, completing the celebrated work of G. B. Falda. Of his own invention are the engravings for the work on the Chiocciole by Filippo Buonanni. He collaborated on the collection Insignium Romae templorum prospectus, and other enterprises of intaglio publishing of the time. He also engraved by Polidoro da Caravaggio, Nasini, Domenichino (Hunting Diana) and others.
Etching, with margins, in good condition.

Giovanni Francesco VENTURINI (Roma, 1650 - Roma, dopo il 1710)
|
Italian printmaker. A pupil of Giovan Battista Galestruzzi, with whom he collaborated on a series of engravings after frescoes by Polidoro da Caravaggio, he is best known for his two series of engraved vedute: Fontane ne’ palazzi e ne’ giardini di Roma and Fontane nel giardino estense in Tivoli. These were printed by A. de Rossi in 1684, completing the famous work by Giovanni Battista Falda on the same subject. Venturini also contributed to other collections of Roman vedute, such as the Insignium Romae Templorum Prospectus (1684) and the Disegni di vasi, altari e cappelle nelle chiese di Roma (1690). On the whole he remained faithful to the style of his master Galestruzzi, which was analytical yet at the same time picturesque, whether in etching or engraving.
