Annibale Carracci - Arti di Bologna: Seller of Spectacles, and A Messenger - 1646 / Description: Diverse figure al numero di ottanta, disegnate di penna nell'hore di recreatione da Annibale Carracci intagliate in rame, e cavate dagli originali da Simone Guilino', more commonly called by the titles in the later reprints, 'Le Arti di Bologna': The occupations of the Bolognese). Here excellent early impressions, with the little scratsches in the plates stil visible, from the first edition of 1646 with traces of an earlier number erased in the bottom left corner also noticable on the first editions in Paris and Washington, but before the captions with the identification of the showed occupations in later states. It is assumed that Annibale Carracci would have drawn the figures of the Trades of his city, almost for fun, during the breaks in the work for the Farnese Gallery. The painter would have decided to collect these drawings in an album. Knowledge of this work by Annibale Carracci is due to the prelate Giovanni Antonio Massani, a relative of Pope Urban VIII and previously secretary of Giovanni Battista Agucchi. Massani, having found himself in possession of Annibale's drawings, as he himself narrates, had them engraved by the Frenchman Simon Guillain (1618-1658) and printed them in a volume entitled Diverse Figures al numero di ottanta, Disegnate di penna Nell'ore di raccolta da Annibale Carracci intagliate in copper, e scavate dagli Originali da Simone Guilino Parigino, dedicato a tutti i Virtuosi et Intendenti della Professione della Pittura, e del Disegno, printed in Rome in 1646. Here a pair of etchings from this famous work, mainly known by the later editions with title of the subject (here before...). The subjects here in this lot have later bein identified as: 'Acoramaglietti' A trinket seller, standing in the centre with his head turned to the left, holds up a decorative box full of his wares.) and 'Porta Citationi' (A man delivering notices (citations); seen in profile, he stands with his foot on a doorstep, thumbing through a bundle of papers.) Special for these etchings is that they have the title written in sepia ink beneath the print, only in later editions they were added to the copperplate etching itself. Also noticable is these plates are signed respectively ' A C I --- S. g S' and 'An. Ca Inv. --- S.G. Sc'' The number is also etched bottom middle, in later reworked editions it was set at the left or right corner to make space for the etched title. Our example is 100% identical as the first edition kept in the Library of Congres (In Roma : Nella Stamperia di Lodovico Grigniani, 1646). The British Museum holds only an etdition from 1740 with name of the profession etched in the image and other differences as described for later states. A pair of rare and original impressions from the first edition from 1646. / Dimensions: 27,30 x 16,70 cm / Condition: Outstanding early impressions with nice plate tone on crown watermarked laid paper with good margins.

Etched by Johann Sebastian Leitner (1715-1795) after the Medals then in the Royal Library.----- The depiction of Dürer the Elder in left profile goes back to an original portrait probably made by Hans Daucher in 1514 (cf. Mende 1983, pp. 253-255) and became known not least through imitations of the medal, which were provided with Dürer's monogram and distributed. A lead copy of the medal was transferred in 1849 with the rest of Heller's estate to the holdings of the then Royal Library (now the Bamberg State Library). (Cf. Heller Dürer 1831 II.1089.3) The same happened with the printing plate prepared by Leitner (cf. copper plate 9 of the Bamberg State Library).

(See Heller Dürer 1827 II.902.2492) --------- The so-called Wolgemut medal was created in the middle of the 16th century at the earliest and is based on Dürer's painting of 1516 (now on loan from the Bavarian State Painting Collections Munich in Nuremberg, Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Inv.

It shows an elderly scholar in his study, transfixed by the apparition of a blazing disc of light enclosing a series of letters. The scene may represent an alchemist, but does not correspond with traditional representations of the subject. The shining disc also remains unexplained, although the letters ‘INRI’ match the inscription placed over Christ’s head during the crucifixion. The scene possibly shows an allegory of faith; the letters surrounding the disc are intended to be indecipherable, reminding the learned scholar that human knowledge is limited and ambiguous, in contrast with the clarity of divine wisdom.
