Jerzy Eleuter Siemiginowski (c. 1660-1711). Day, after Lazarro Baldi’s frescoed ceiling in the Palazzo Odescalchi, Engraving, on two sheets joined, [c.1677-1684] 335 x 660mm. (13 1/4 x 26in). Provenance: Dr. E. Peart (c.1756-1824) [Lugt 891], collector’s stamp recto. Between 1660 and 1665 Lazarro Baldi (1623-1703) frescoed a ceiling in the Palazzo Odescalchi, Rome, with scenes of Day, Night, Dawn, Dusk and, in the centre, Apollo in the Chariot of the Sun. This mythological decoration was lost in 1745. The rare engravings made by Baldi’s pupil, Szymonowicz, are crucial for our understanding of Baldi’s lost work. We have been unable to trace any previous sale records for these prints.
