Aldrovandi - Seal or Walrus or Monstrous Sea Life
Est: $300 - $600
This extraordinarily rare, first edition, folio engraving is from Ulysse Aldrovandi’s Opera Omnia. The work was published between 1599 and 1648 in Bologna, Italy by Clemente Ferroni, Niccolo Tebaldini, & Giovanni Battista Bellagamba. Many of the illustrations are the work of Jacopo Ligozzi. It was a massive, multi-volume, natural history encyclopedia. This work included the first published image of a toucan and bird of paradise. It was originally 13 volumes in total and featured illustrations of animals, plants, minerals, and fantastic “monsters” including dragons. Aldrovandi was an Italian botanist, pharmacologist, and noted author. He studied mathematics, Latin, law, and philosophy eventully earning a degree in medicine in 1553. In 1549, on return from studies in Paua, he was arrested in Bologna for heresy and sent to Rome where he managed to exonerate himself, likely due to his parents' nobility. Aldrovandi channeled much of his life’s work into collecting, writing and illustrating different biological specimens. His collection is now in display in the University in Bologna. The specimens were classified according to his own system and contributed to the later development of animal taxonomy. He became a full professor at the University of Bologna in 1561 where he presented natural history as a systematic study. He was also appointed the inspector of drugs and pharmacies, which met opposition, but was confirmed by Pope Gregory XIII. The Pope actually became a benefactor of Aldrovandi's numerous works on natural history. Only four of the volumes credited to Aldrovandi appeared in his life time (1522-1605). His students used his manuscripts to complete the remainder of his work. It was the largest collection of natural history illustrations to appear before the 18th century. “Aldrovandi was aware that the enormity of his task would stretch beyond his lifetime; just as Aristotle had passed his work on to his disciples, Aldrovandi hoped that his own pupils would continue the unfinished business of writing the definitive history of nature. At the end of his life, his literary production -mostly based on the objects of his museum- totaled more than 400 volumes, a number that he claimed would take more than a century to print. ‘And with all this I have kept three scribes in my house, excellent painters, designers, engravers, and have spent much on transportation [of artifacts] and on a library that can stand up to any other particular library in Italy.’ While it is hardly surprising that we should find Aldrovandi's attempts to bring all knowledge under one roof overwhelming, given our own assumption that there is always more to know, the number and size of his many unfinished projects amazed even contemporaries… “Separate from the thirteen printed volumes, which covered a range of topics -birds, insects, fish, quadrupeds, serpents, monsters, and hard objects, that is, stones, metals, gems, and fossils- the manuscripts included Aldrovandi 's voluminous correspondence, drafts of treatises, tables that classified and tabulated the natural world, and his own encyclopedic compendia that organized all his reading notes alphabetically, topically, and geographically.” (Findlen, Possessing Nature) The scope and titles of the volumes ae as follows: Vols. I-III. The Ornithology: Ornithologiae, hoc est, De Avibus Historiae Libri... Vol. IV. Fishes & Whales: De Piscibus Libri V et De Cetibus Lib. Unus. Vol. V.

GIOVANNI BATTISTA e GIOVANNI MAURO DELLA ROVERESE detti I FIAMMINGHINI (attr. a)
Est: €2,000 - €3,000
(Milano, 1561 ca. ; dopo il 1627 / Milano, 1575 ; 1640) Presentazione di Gesù al Tempio Olio su tela, cm 136X92 L'Orlandi scrive: 'Non vi è angolo, chiesa, o palagio, nei quali non si ritrovano pennellature di Fiamminghini'. Lo stesso scrive il Lanzi: 'Ne restano non solo lavori a fresco, ma inoltre quadri a olio d'istorie, di battaglie, di prospettive, di paesi quasi in ogni angolo della città'. Tuttavia, scarni sono gli interventi critici su questa famiglia di pittori il cui capostipite Giovanni, nato ad Anversa nel 1533, diede origine alla fortunata bottega milanese, la cui fama fu diffusa dai figli Giovan Mauro e Giovanni Battista. La tela in esame è quindi una testimonianza preziosa per cogliere lo stile di questi maestri, che nell'età borromaica, oltre a realizzare innumerevoli cicli a fresco e pale d'altare, si dedicarono con successo anche alla pittura da cavalletto, con esiti di gusto nordico e una piacevole verve narrativa. La loro formazione, come detto, avvenne nella bottega paterna e tra le prime opere ricordiamo il ciclo con le Storie di San Giovanni Battista dipinte nel braccio sinistro del transetto del Duomo di Monza (1586). Questi affreschi presentano caratteri che ricordano l'influenza del Figino e del Lomazzo, per la ricerca di una mossa e forzata grandiosità plastica mentre il cromatismo, a toni rosa, gialli, verdi accesi, sono di ascendenza lomazziana. L'opera in esame si presume partecipe di un ciclo, mentre i caratteri delle stesure e delle cromie ricordano altresì la sinuosità grafica di questi pittori e una possibile datazione tra il XVI e il XVII secolo. Detto ciò, è cosa alquanto intricata dipanare filologicamente queste opere per lo straordinario fermento creativo e l'operato contiguo di questi maestri, in modo particolare negli anni che precedono la fine del Cinquecento. Tuttavia, l'accentuata eleganza e la già citata sinuosità delle figure e delle vesti, portano a prediligere il nome di Giovanni Mauro.

Est: €1,500 - €2,500
(Genova, 1634 - 1657) San Giovanni Battista condotto al martirio Olio su tela, cm 73X97 Il dipinto di chiara genesi ligustica e strettissime affinità con lo stile di Orazio de Ferrari è stato ricondotto, sia pur con la dovuta prudenza, al catalogo del figlio Giovanni Andrea da Camillo Manzitti. È appunto il Soprani a confermare che la bottega dell'artista era condotta a livello familiare e l'unico collaboratore era appunto Andrea che: 'dava già segni di dover riuscire un ottimo Pittore; e noi con giusto fondamento l'arguivamo da un ritratto, che in età di soli dodici anni egli fece del P. Paoletti Agostiniano; ritratto assai al natural e con qualche franchezza dipinto; il qual si conferva nella libreria Aprosìana di Ventimiglia' (cfr. R. Soprani, C. G. Ratti, Vite de' pittori, scultori, ed architetti genovesi, I, Genova 1768, p. 289). Si deve altresì notare che l'immagine è desunta dalla tela di medesimo soggetto resa nota da Piero Pagano e Maria Clelia Galassi nel 1988 (n. 311). Bibliografia di riferimento: F. R.

Aldrovandi, pub. 1599 - Frontispiece with Dragons, Cherubim, & Lion Shield
Est: $300 - $600
This extraordinarily rare, first edition, folio engraving is from Ulysse Aldrovandi’s Opera Omnia. The work was published between 1599 and 1648 in Bologna, Italy by Clemente Ferroni, Niccolo Tebaldini, & Giovanni Battista Bellagamba. Many of the illustrations are the work of Jacopo Ligozzi. It was a massive, multi-volume, natural history encyclopedia. This work included the first published image of a toucan and bird of paradise. It was originally 13 volumes in total and featured illustrations of animals, plants, minerals, and fantastic “monsters” including dragons. Aldrovandi was an Italian botanist, pharmacologist, and noted author. He studied mathematics, Latin, law, and philosophy eventully earning a degree in medicine in 1553. In 1549, on return from studies in Paua, he was arrested in Bologna for heresy and sent to Rome where he managed to exonerate himself, likely due to his parents' nobility. Aldrovandi channeled much of his life’s work into collecting, writing and illustrating different biological specimens. His collection is now in display in the University in Bologna. The specimens were classified according to his own system and contributed to the later development of animal taxonomy. He became a full professor at the University of Bologna in 1561 where he presented natural history as a systematic study. He was also appointed the inspector of drugs and pharmacies, which met opposition, but was confirmed by Pope Gregory XIII. The Pope actually became a benefactor of Aldrovandi's numerous works on natural history. Only four of the volumes credited to Aldrovandi appeared in his life time (1522-1605). His students used his manuscripts to complete the remainder of his work. It was the largest collection of natural history illustrations to appear before the 18th century. “Aldrovandi was aware that the enormity of his task would stretch beyond his lifetime; just as Aristotle had passed his work on to his disciples, Aldrovandi hoped that his own pupils would continue the unfinished business of writing the definitive history of nature. At the end of his life, his literary production -mostly based on the objects of his museum- totaled more than 400 volumes, a number that he claimed would take more than a century to print. ‘And with all this I have kept three scribes in my house, excellent painters, designers, engravers, and have spent much on transportation [of artifacts] and on a library that can stand up to any other particular library in Italy.’ While it is hardly surprising that we should find Aldrovandi's attempts to bring all knowledge under one roof overwhelming, given our own assumption that there is always more to know, the number and size of his many unfinished projects amazed even contemporaries… “Separate from the thirteen printed volumes, which covered a range of topics -birds, insects, fish, quadrupeds, serpents, monsters, and hard objects, that is, stones, metals, gems, and fossils- the manuscripts included Aldrovandi 's voluminous correspondence, drafts of treatises, tables that classified and tabulated the natural world, and his own encyclopedic compendia that organized all his reading notes alphabetically, topically, and geographically.” (Findlen, Possessing Nature) The scope and titles of the volumes ae as follows: Vols. I-III. The Ornithology: Ornithologiae, hoc est, De Avibus Historiae Libri... Vol. IV. Fishes & Whales: De Piscibus Libri V et De Cetibus Lib. Unus. Vol. V.

CESARE DANDINI (attr. a)
Est: €1,000 - €2,000
(Firenze 1596-1656) San Giovanni Battista Olio su tela, cm 93X77 Grazie all'educazione eterogenea appresa nelle botteghe di Francesco Curradi, di Cristofano Allori e Domenico Cresti, Dandini riuscirÃ a definire un proprio stile, ma di non poca importanza fu il viaggio di studio a Roma e l'influenza di Guido Reni, i cui esempi il pittore plasmerÃ sui modelli di Francesco Furini, pervenendo cosÃ¬ a esiti di notevole eleganza. Sorprende altresÃ¬, come l'artista concepisca canoni estetici di sapore neomanie-rista coniugandoli a un fare pittorico barocco, dove la figura colta al limite della superficie prospettica, quasi schiacciata sul primo piano, estende le proprie forme attraverso una soda fisicitÃ e una dirompente tavolozza, testimoniando come durante la maturitÃ non gli venga mai a mancare l'energia creativa.
