SACCHI, Andrea. Architectural study with portal and mask on the reverse Portrait of a Faun. 1599-1661 Watercolor drawing on heavy paper. Signed on the reverse. Sheet 274x210; Image 200x138 mm. Brown pen and monochrome watercolor in soft hazelnut tones. Boxed image. On the reverse a Faun, outlined with a brush in sepia ink and signed: "d'Andrea Sacchi". Slight sign of marginal use and a small loss within the drawing. An important architectural drawing by the famous Roman painter, who collaborated with Guido Reni and Pietro da Cortona. On the reverse a tasty portrait of an old faun with a sardonic smile. D'Anvossa highlighted Andrea Sacchi's important activity also as an architect, which is now recognized by scholars. Alessandra Cosmi: "Sacchi's activity as an architect has been documented since 1639 (Incisa della Rocchetta, 1924, pp. 66 f.): He was employed by Antonio Barberini to supervise the works in S. Maria sopra Minerva (1638-44) and S. Agata dei Goti (1633-41), as well as for some sets of the comedies staged in the theater of Palazzo Barberini and for ephemeral apparatus (pp. 67-69). In the 1950s, on Antonio's return from France, Sacchi took care of the renovation work at Villa Sciarra, in the palace in Nemi and in the one at Giubbonari."

Domenico Anderson (1854 Rom - 1938 ibid.): View of the volcanic Lake Nemi with pine trees on the shore, c. 1880, albumen paper print Technique: albumen paper print, mounted on Cardboard Inscription: Lower middle inscribed on the support: "Aug' der Diana : Nemisee, [...]". Date: c. 1880 Description: Original photograph with high detail sharpness. An early example of travel photography. Around the middle of the 19th century, more and more tourists from bourgeois circles travelled to Italy. At that time, photographs could only be taken at great expense in terms of time and with expensive, unwieldy equipment. This made many tourists all the more grateful for the work of the professional photographer's studios on site, so that they could bring back a souvenir from their holiday home or collect them as mementos. Famous photographers such as Carlo Naya, Giorgio Sommer and the Alinari brothers photographed the most famous sights in their home cities and travelled themselves to photograph their customers' favourite destinations and offer them as albumen prints. Ancient art treasures were also photographed and offered to travellers. The high-quality photographs of sculptures and frescoes continued to make an important contribution to documenting the art treasures and making them accessible to scholars from all over Europe, who previously had to rely on copies or engravings if they were unable to view the original themselves.
