Notes |
From a series of prints after drawings by Guercino and other masters titled 'Raccolta di alcuni disegni del Barbieri da Cento detto il Guercino' issued in 1764 (for the complete collection, see 244.b.32, and especially 1929,1028.6.26) and gathered by Piranesi who etched four plates for it, this being one of them. This appears to be the only satirical print ever made by Piranesi. Another impression in the Gabinetto Comunale in Roma (A. Lo Bianco, 'Pier Leone Ghezzi : Settecento alla moda', Venice, 1999, cat. 64) does not have Piranesi's name on it, which suggests that the plate may have been retouched. The etching is certainly based on a Ghezzi drawing. The closest yet found is in a bound volume with 72 other drawings in the Museo Civico di Fossombrone (see B. Molajoli, Un volume di disegni di Pier Leone Ghezzi, Rassegna Marchigiana per le arti figurative, le bellezze naturali, la musica, no. XII,1931, pp. 294-302). Both Focillon and Wilton-Ely have failed to realize that sitter in question is Zabbaglia himself. |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
