Description
BARTOLOZZI, Francesco. I Dodici Mesi.Venezia, Wagner, 1761Dodici incisioni all’acquaforte e bulino; inciso di 330 x 460 mm. In basso al centro il nome del mese, a sinistra e a destra i nomi di G. Zocchi, F. Bartolozzi e J. Wagner, sotto a destra i numeri 1-12. Filomargine. Buono stato di conservazione.Rarissima serie completa dei Mesi dell’anno di Francesco Bartolozzi. Derivata dai dipinti di Giuseppe Zocchi, la serie si colloca nell’ambito della produzione più schiettamente veneta del Bartolozzi: associando il bulino all’acquaforte, secondo il metodo introdotto a Venezia dal Wagner, l’artista consegue effetti di morbida e raffinata graduazione chiaroscurale e riesce a mantenere una genuina freschezza negli episodi popolari e agresti che illustrano i dodici rami. Nelle festose scene di costume rappresentate le figure umane hanno importanza predominante e sono incorniciate da frondosi alberi e da architetture pittoresche. Giuseppe Zocchi svolse una lunga attività a Venezia: in questi soggetti si avverte l’influenza su di lui esercita da Marco Ricci, Giuseppe Zais, Francesco Zuccarelli e anche Pietro Longhi. The work is offered with a valid export license.
