Description
Beautiful view of Villa Phamphili printed by the typography of Giovanni Giacomo de Rossi, around 1650
Although unsigned, the plate is attributed, for stylistic reasons, to the French artist Dominique Barriere.
The Villa Pamphili was the last and most magnificent of the Roman villas built in the 16th- and 17th- centuries: the construction of the villa, under the architect G.F. Grimaldi and the sculptor Algardi,lasted from 1644 to 1648, and the gardens were laid out in 1650. The house included some of the finest stucco work of the 17th century, and a main feature of the gardens was the collection of Roman and Greek statuary, displayed in niches in the facade of the villa and in the grounds.
Magnificent proof, printed on coeval laid paper and applied to antique collection mount, in excellent condition.
Example without the title and excudit at the bottom.
Rare.
Dominique BARRIERE (Marsiglia, 1618; Roma, 18 Settembre 1678).
|
French etcher and architectural designer. He arrived in Rome around 1640 where he settled permanently among its community of French artists. No records exist of his training, but his earliest etchings (1640–47) are historical and mythological scenes, such as the Battle of Bommel in 1585 (1640) after Guglielmo Cortese and Apollo and Python (c. 1647–52) after Domenichino’s painting for the Villa Aldobrandini, Frascati.
