The nymph of immortality, accompanied by cupins, crowns the bust of shakespeare.
the engraving depicts the nymph of immortality in a solemn and poetic gesture: she crowns the bust of william shakespeare, a symbol of eternal glory and universal genius, with a laurel wreath. Around her, dancing and smiling cupids create a light and festive atmosphere, almost as if celebrating the immortality of art and poetry.
the engraving by francesco bartolozzi is hand-watercolorized with delicate pastel colors, accentuating the grace and ethereal atmosphere. The work is completed by a beautiful and romantic antique oval frame with a love knot.
engraving in the dotted manner printed on laid paper with sepia ink and fine watercolor coloring.
engraver: francesco bartolozzi, born in florence in 1727 and died in lisbon in 1815, was one of the most famous and esteemed italian engravers. He successfully interpreted various engraving methods: etching, burin, and dotted engraving. A pupil of wagner in venice, he later moved to london, where he achieved international success and opened his own workshop.
based on a subject by giovanni battista cipriani, a painter, draftsman, and engraver born in florence in 1727 and died in london in 1790, his artistic partnership with bartolozzi is a guarantee of refined and elegant creations.
