Qualche danno e rinforzo alla legatura, alcune macchiette, nel complesso buon esemplare. Bella raccolta di incisioni di John Flaxman (1755-1826), maestro della scultura neoclassica inglese e contemporaneo di William Blake che ricoprì un ruolo significativo nella diffusione del gusto neoclassico in Gran Bretagna. Molto ispirato dall'antichità per le ceramiche di Wedgwood, Flaxman si stabilì a Roma nel 1787 dove compose le sue famose illustrazioni per l'Iliade e l'Odissea, incise da Tommaso Piroli, presto seguite da quelle per la Divina Commedia di Dante e le Tragedie di Eschilo. Il suo stile prende in prestito la maniera artistica dei vasi greci e dei cammei antichi, da cui emergono composizioni semplici e pulite. FLAXMAN, John.

Some damage and reinforcement to binding, some spotting, overall good copy. Beautiful collection of engravings by John Flaxman (1755-1826), master of English neoclassical sculpture and contemporary of William Blake who played a significant role in the spread of neoclassical taste in Britain. Much inspired by antiquity for Wedgwood's ceramics, Flaxman settled in Rome in 1787 where he composed his famous illustrations for the Iliad and the Odyssey, engraved by Tommaso Piroli, soon followed by those for Dante's Divine Comedy and Aeschylus' Tragedies. His style borrows the artistic manner of Greek vases and ancient cameos, from which simple, clean compositions emerge.
