Paoletti (Bartolomeo, 1757-1834, and Pietro, 1801-1847). A collection of 300 plaster cameos (or intaglios) presented in seven leather-bound double-sided faux book boxes, Rome, circa 1820, 300 white plaster intaglios, or impronte, being miniature impressions in relief of ancient gems, cameos, coins and medals, as well as modern sculptures and portraits, each bordered with pale yellow paper (with manuscript number added), and edged in gilt, generally between 2 and 5 cm in diameter (but some between 6 and 9 cm), carefully arranged and mounted in recessed double-sided book-boxes, lined with dark blue paper, manuscript list of contents in brown ink to front and rear pastedowns of each volume, giving the subject, artist or location, five of the volumes with the manufacturer's address also in brown ink: 'Si fanno in Roma da Bartolomeo Paoletti, e Pietro Figlio, dimoranti di Studio in Piazza di Spagna numo. 49', marbled paper outer edges, with bindings in uniform brown half calf over marbled paper, spines gilt-decorated and each lettered in gilt PAOLETTI, rubbed, and some scuffs and marks (generally in good condition), 8vo (24.5 x 16 cm)Qty: (7)Provenance: Patricia Milne-Henderson (1935-2018), art historian.NOTESA fine collection in matching original bindings of early 19th century plaster intaglios, known in Italian as 'impronte', manufactured by the Paoletti family, which became highly popular amongst aristocratic and fashionable travellers on the Grand Tour during the early part of the 19th century, especially from England. The Paolettis numbered amongst their clients Catherine the Great of Russia, Ferdinand III, Grand Duke of Tuscany, and Lord Elgin, and are listed in Heinrich Keller's contemporary directory of artists and craftsmen working in Rome in 1824 (Elenco di tutti i pittori, scultori, architetti miniatori...di Roma) at the same address as given in the present examples (page 70). The Paoletti firm are also advertised in Count Hawks Le Grice's guide Walks though the Studii of the Sculptors at Rome (1841) as follows: 'Paoletti begs to inform the public that he has arranged a collection of impressions (Impronte in Scajola) of many of the works in sculpture executed by distinguished artists ... Although the Impronte are but miniature copies; yet they exhibit all the fidelity and beauty of the original, and convey to the eye a better idea of sculpted works of art than the most finished engravings'. Designed to form a kind of miniature museum of the history of art and classical mythology, subjects present in this collection range from Greek and Roman monuments and sculptures, portraits of Greek and Roman gods, emperors, warriors, philosophers and poets, masterpeces of the Italian Renaissance, such as Leonardo's Last Supper, Domenichino and Giulio Romano, portraits of famous artists and writers including Raphael, Titian, Michelangelo, Ariosto, Poussin, Maratta, Guercino, Anton Raphael Mengs, Angelika Kauffmann, and Winckelmann, as well as modern works by Antonio Canova (including The Three Graces), Thorwaldsen, Giovanni Pichler, Marchand, Tommaso Cades, and the Paolettis themselves. The contents of each volume are: Museo Vaticano (43), Museo Capitolino (57), Museo di Napoli & Museo di Parigi (42), Uomini illustri nel Museo Capitolino & Villa Albani (49), Monumenti in vari luoghi (42), Opere di Thorwaldsen & Opere di Canova, and one volume untitled, containing modern examples by Pichler, Paoletti, Canova, Marchant, Rega, Luigi Diez, etc.
