- Lot Description
In imitation of an engraving, with a central scene depicting a water mill with a river view with figures in ox-blood on a cream ground within a border.
12 1/2 x 19 in. (panel), 16 1/2 x 22 3/4 in. (frame).
Published: Anna Maria Massinelli, Scagliola l'Arte della pietra di luna, Rome, 1997, p. 186, fig. 123.
Note: From the Sotheby's London catalog, December 12, 2001, by Anna Maria Massinelli. "The beginning of this art form (scagliola) in Italy took place in the area of Capri in Emilia, where copious production executed was characterized by a preference for the black and white effects. Engravings on paper and the lightness of lace were faithfully reproduced in white on the black and hard surface of scagliola. The maker always tried to imitate every detail using a subtle cross-hatching effect. The same technique which became so popular throughout the 17th century was also employed in the following century in the works of two scagliola makers called Pietro and Amadeo Seytter (lot 114), who were active in Rome. They specialized particularly in small, charming panels which reproduced trompe l'oeil engravings and drawings of landscapes, river-views and ruins in the sanguigna technique, on a faux marble ground."
Condition
Generally, in good condition with scattered gouges and wear, particularly one in the lower center of the panel, (which was present in the Sotheby's London catalog of December 12, 2001, from the Collection of Bianco Bianchi, Florence). Minor discoloration on the border. Minor worming and small nicks to the gilded frame. Charming subject, fine quality and rare to find.
Notwithstanding this report or any discussion concerning condition of a lot, all lots are offered and sold "as is" in accordance with our conditions of sale.
