F. PILOTY (1786) after BRAMER (1596), Soldier on the powder keg, around 1808, Ferdinand Piloty sen. (1786 Homburg - 1844 Munich) after Leonaert Bramer (1596 - 1674 ): Soldier with torch at the powder keg, c. 1808, Lithography Technique: Lithography over tinted stone on Paper Inscription: At the lower part signed in the printing plate: "Bramer | F: Piloty del:". Date: c. 1808 Description: Ferdinand Piloty was a German lithographer who made a name for himself in particular through the graphic reproduction of old hand drawings. Between 1808 and 1815, he and Johann Nepomuk Strixner published an extensive series of lithographs based on old master drawings in Munich. This multifaceted work emphasises the full skill of the two artists, who copied the drawings onto the stone with a sensitive eye and convey a good impression of the original work in their reproductions. A characteristic feature of many of the sheets is the basis of a discreetly coloured clay plate with scratched-out areas, presumably intended to imitate the white heightening and different paper colours of the originals. Piloty and Strixner used the technique of lithography in all its facets and always endeavoured to give their reprints the same delicacy and depth that characterise the hand drawings of the Old Masters. Keywords: lithograph series, Old Masters, study, Guy Fawkes, Gunpowder Plot, England, soldiers, armour, 19th century, Romanticism, Military, United Kingdom, Size: Paper: 21,2 cm x 18,2 cm (8,3 x 7,2 in), Depiction: 14,7 cm x 11,6 cm (5,8 x 4,6 in) Condition: Rather good condition. Minimally discoloured on the sheet edge.
