Engravings of the months of the XVIII century. BARTOLOZZI. I Dodici Mesi.

12 Etchings and burin engravings; 330 x 460 mm. Below, in the middle, the name of the month, to left and to right the names of G. Zocchi, F. Bartolozzi and J. Wagner, and down to the right the numbers 1-12. Good condition. Very rare series of Francesco Bartolozzi's months of the year. Derived from the paintings by Giuseppe Zocchi, the series is part of the most vivid Venetian production of Bartolozzi: by combining the bulin with the watercolor, according to the method introduced in Venice by Wagner, the artist has effects of soft and refined chiaroscuro graduation manages to maintain a genuine freshness in the popular and agresti episodes that illustrate the twelve branches. In the festive costume scenes depicted, human figures have predominant importance and are framed by leafy trees and picturesque architectures. Giuseppe Zocchi carried out a long business in Venice: in these subjects he feels the influence he exerts on him by Marco Ricci, Giuseppe Zais, Francesco Zuccarelli and also Pietro Longhi. Succi, 1983, no. 11-22; Barbara Jatta, Francesco Bartolozzi Incisore delle Grazie, 1996, pp. 91-93.
