44 - Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione (known as “il Grechetto”), *La Malinconia* (*Ubi Inletabilitas ibi Virtus*). 1645–1647. Etching. 217 × 114 mm. Sheet: 255 x 154 mm. Bartsch, XXI, 26. Bellini (Castiglione), 15. Signed “G. BENED.TO / CAS / in” on a sheet protruding from the book at the lower right, below the woman’s elbow. At the top of the plate is the inscription “Ubi Inletabilitas ibi Virtus”; at the bottom, “Printed in Rome by Gio. Dom.co Rossi alla Pace under the Sign of Paris. With the permission of the Authorities.” An excellent proof in the fourth state of 5, with De Rossi’s address and the addition of “With permission from the Authorities,” on slightly thick laid paper without a watermark. The engraving does not appear frequently on the market, and usually, when it is found for sale, the copies offered are in this fourth state with De Rossi’s address: Bellini believes the work was created around 1645–1646 and that the print was part of a group of works engraved in Genoa but which the artist brought with him to Rome in 1647, and which were first regularly printed only by De Rossi. (1) Copy with wide margins of 18/20 mm, mounted with two staples at the top on a modern cardboard backing. Minimal signs of display.
