Print from steel engraving titled „Le sponsalizie“.Artist Rutilio di Lorenzo Manetti.Drawn by Rossi.Engraved by Luigi Martelli Faentino.From “Galerie du Palais Pitti“, Chez Louis Bardi, Florence, 1842.Notes: Vol. I. Tav. 49.Rutilio di Lorenzo Manetti (c. 1571 – 22 July 1639) was an Italian painter of late-Mannerism or proto-Baroque, active mainly in Siena. He was influenced and/or taught by the local artists Francesco Vanni and Ventura Salimbeni. He is known to have collaborated with Raffaello Vanni, the son of Francesco. His style moved from one derived from Barocci to a more Caravaggesque manner after the first decade of the 17th century. Whether this change was mediated by local painters from Siena and Florence, or from direct visits to Rome, is unclear. Among his masterpieces are his contributions to the Casino Mediceo, which he worked alongsinde Matteo Rosselli, Giovanni Lanfranco, and Cesare Dandini.Approx. image size 22, 4 x 20/47, 3 x 31, 6 cm.
