DAVID, Giovanni (1743-1790). Divers portraits graves a l'eau-forte

DAVID, Giovanni (1743-1790). Divers portraits graves a l'eau-forte

Rara serie completa, in eccellente stato di conservazione e a pieni margini, dei Divers Portraits dedicati al pittore Domenico Corvi (1721-1803), maestro di Giovanni David durante il suo soggiorno romano. Le dodici figure, tutte ispirate alla vita quotidiana di Venezia e dei suoi dintorni, restituiscono con raffinata sensibilità la teatralità, il gusto per il travestimento e il vivace costume popolare che caratterizzavano la società veneziana del Settecento. Nella parte inferiore di ciascuna stampa compaiono citazioni satiriche tratte dalle Satires di Nicolas Boileau-Despréaux (1636-1711), scelte come commento morale e ironico ai personaggi raffigurati. Giovanni David fu il primo incisore italiano a impiegare sistematicamente la tecnica dell'acquatinta, allora di recente introduzione, sfruttandone le potenzialità per ottenere una ricca gamma di effetti tonali difficilmente raggiungibili con la sola acquaforte. L'unione tra acquatinta e didascalie satiriche anticipa una soluzione espressiva che, circa vent'anni più tardi, Francisco Goya avrebbe portato a piena maturazione nella celebre serie dei Caprichos. 12 tavole incise all'acquatinta (400 × 280mm il foglio). Serie completa comprendente: Le Masque au Caffé; Le Zendale; Le Gondolier; Gaspar Gribolari, brocanteur à Padoue; Le Marchand allant à Rialto; Femme de Palestrina; La Servante; Le Paveur; La Cuisinière; Habits des Nobles; La Dame vénitienne en habit de masque; Le Perruquier fatigué. Filigrane: tre mezzalune; IMPERIALE; mezzo cartiglio. Tavole in barbe (gora d'acqua al margine destro che tocca l'impressione di alcune tavole). (12) (1)
