Alte Künstlergraphik

Gemälde, Zeichnungen u. Grafiken 16. bis 19. Jhd. – Bartsch Bd. XV B.70. - Nach dem Portrait von Marcello Venusti. - Fein ausgeführter Kupferstich mit dem Bildnis von Michelangelo in ovaler Rahmung vor reich ornamentierter Architekturkartusche. Der Typus des bärtigen, introspektiv blickenden Künstlers folgt der im 16. Jahrhundert etablierten Ikonographie und steht im Kontext der durch Girogio Vasari geprägten Heroisierung des Künstlers als "uomo illustre". - Blatt altersbedingt mit zarten Bräunungen und kleinen punktuellen Braunflecken. Ränder teils bestoßen, leicht gestaucht sowie mit einer kleinen Läsur. Insgesamt gut. Hervorragender, gratiger Druck mit schmalem Rand.

Paintings, drawings and prints 16th to 19th century – Copper engraving on handmade paper. With typographic inscription. The sheet shows slight browning and small, scattered brown spots due to age. The edge is partly bumped and slightly crushed, and has a small tear. Overall in good condition. An excellent, crisp print with a narrow margin. - After the portrait by Marcello Venusti. - A finely executed copperplate engraving depicting Michelangelo in an oval frame set against a richly ornamented architectural cartouche. The image of the bearded artist with an introspective gaze follows the iconography established in the 16th century and is part of the context of the heroisation of the artist as an 'uomo illustre', a concept shaped by Giorgio Vasari.
