One loose page, and some others staring to pull away from the spine, but generally a beautiful old art book.
A richly detailed biographical essay on the life and legacy of Francesco Bartolozzi (17271815), one of the most celebrated engravers of the 18th century. Originally published in 1907 as part of the Connoisseur Extra Number series, this volume offers both scholarly insight and visual appreciation.
🖋 The book traces Bartolozzis artistic journey from his early training in Florence, through his flourishing career in Rome and Venice, to his influential decades in London. It highlights his mastery of the stipple engraving technique, which he helped popularize in England, and explores his role in shaping British printmaking.
📚 Beyond biography, the book includes:
A catalogue of Bartolozzis principal prints
A six-year record of auction prices, offering historical context for collectors
Commentary on his personal life, artistic circles, and enduring influence
