About the Item

Black and white etching on wire rod paper. Signed on plate on the lower right margin, printed in a unique state and belonging to the series “Varj Capricci”. Excellent impression with wide margins in excellent conditions. Very minor traces of foxing and a very small stain on the upper margin, outside the printed image. Overall very good conditions. One of the most celebrated painters of the eighteenth century in Italy, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (1696-1770) began making prints with his first collection of ten etchings, known as the Varj Capricci: a very personal response to the production by Salvator Rosa and Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione. Following Rutgers, the series was realized between 1733 and 1735.The prints have no straightforward or overt meanings, yet surely several prints evoke the ancient or Arcadian world with classical urns, figures near tombstones, and fragments of obelisks; in one plate, the personification of Death is reading a book in front of a group of living beings.Tiepolo’s Vari Capricci were greatly celebrated among collectors and connoisseurs, owing to their technical virtuosity and to their enigmatic meanings, sign of the artist's brilliance as well as of the successful and personal variations of the “capriccio”. In 1774, Pierre-Jean Mariette wrote about Tiepolo: “Rich and fertile genius … he shines above all in his prints’'. Image dimensions: 13.4 x 17.3 cm Reference: De Vesme, 11; Rizzi, 37; Succi, 49.
