After SALVATOR ROSA (1615-1673). Serie dei LXXXV disegni in varie grandezze composti dal celebre pittore Salvator Rosa publicati ed incisi da Carlo Antonini.., [Rome, 1780]
2° (520 x 342mm.), 62 engraved plates only, engraved by Carlo Antonini after Salvator Rosa on 29 leaves, comprising 49 small plates from the Figurine series including half-title, and 13 large plates (lacking title, some dampstaining not affecting images, some light, mostly marginal spotting, 2 corners repaired, one short marginal repair), late 19th-century black morocco-backed papered boards (extremities worn, scuffed).
This volume includes the majority of Salvator Rosa's best-known and most popular works, the Figurine series. Rosa's etchings of male and female genre figures, soldiers, warriors and youths in exotic costumes, from ca. 1656-7, had a wide-ranging influence on western art and became especially popular in 18th-century England. The youthful figure in the title plate, used in various forms in publications of Rosa's work, is perhaps an allegorical self-portrait by Rosa, who points to his name in the title below. A full list of plates by Bartsch and Wallace number is available on request. Sold not subject to return. Brunet IV 1390, cf. Richard W. Wallace, The Etchings of Salvator Rosa, Princeton, 1979.
