Item description
Augusto Baracchi (Modena 1878 - Milan 1942) Rome. Ruins of the Marcello Theatre Etching measurements: mm 355 x 500; sheet mm 505 x 700 Italian painter and engraver trained at the Institute of Fine Arts in Modena following the courses of Salvatore Postiglione (Naples 1861 - Naples 1906). He was interested in both painting and engraving and produced around two hundred plates using etching, aquatint and drypoint. His works were appreciated by both the public and the critics and he exhibited in many Italian and foreign cities such as Paris, Berlin, Chicago and Athens. His engravings were honoured in 1930 at the 17th Venice Biennale. The Theatre of Marcellus, built for performances, is one of the oldest Roman buildings that has come down to us. Built at the behest of Julius Caesar and later taken over by Augustus, it stood in the southern area of the Campus Martius. In the sheet, the artist depicts a detail of a solitary ruin, devoid of human presence. Time seems to have stood still, the dazzling sunlight envelops the buildings in a powerful chiaroscuro. The foreground opens with the texture of the ancient pavement smoothed by time, then the buildings rise up in a kind of metaphysical still life. Everything is enveloped in a silvery-grey, suspended atmosphere. The layout is strongly perspective, the central escape route open towards the back and the two side openings simulate an empty stage, one would expect to see the actors arrive at any moment. Bottom right in the engraving: To Baracchi. Bottom beyond the engraving in pencil: Roma Ruderi Teatro Marcello 19/50 and signature. Excellent impression with intense blacks. Very good state of preservation. Wide margins beyond the strike of the copper.
