Sobre este artículo
(A.M. Ricci?, Rome: 1836)., 1836 ff. 30, 25 = Fifty-five Original Line Engraved plates, with Italian captions. Some foxing. Oblong folio. 280 x 380 mm. Early half leather binding. Morocco leather name plate on the front cover, stamped in gilt: "A. Thorvaldsen." Front board detached. Hardbound. Very good. Albert Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844) was a Danish / Icelandic sculptor and artist. Thorvaldsen was an outstanding representative of the Neoclassical period in art, becoming the foremost artist in the field after the death of Antonio Canova in 1822. The poses and expressions of his figures are considered much more stiff and formal than those of Canova's. Thorvaldsen embodied the style of classical Greek art more than the Italian artist, he believed that only through the imitation of classical art pieces, could one become a truly great artist. Motifs for his works (reliefs, statues, busts, and illustrations) were drawn mostly from Greek mythology, as well as from works of classic art and literature. These engraved line illustrations also owe a great deal to the influence of John Flaxman (1755 - 1826). Very scarce. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! OVERSIZE 1/4 Language: eng. Half Leather - Hardcover. Very Good.
