Item description

Etching by Bernardino Rosaspina (Venice 1797 – Bologna 1882) depicting the square of Forlimpopoli. Bernardino was born into a famous family of artists: his father Giuseppe (Bologna 1765 – 1832) and his uncle Francesco (Montescudo, Rimini 1762 – Bologna 1841) were engravers, founder of the chair of engraving at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna. His style was influenced by the scenographic-quadraturist tradition, by the language of Felice Giani (San Sebastiano Curone 1758 – Rome 1823) and above all by eighteenth-century landscape painting. He specialized in engravings of views, creating two series: one of 33 plates dedicated to Romagna "Vedute di Romagna" (1831-1836) and the other to Tuscany "Viaggio storico pittorico ossia guida della Toscana" (1832). In this sheet, taken from a drawing by R. Trebbi, as engraved at the bottom left, the artist depicts the square of Forlimpopoli with a perspective cut. Various characters populate Piazza Garibaldi and move between the Palazzo della Torre on the left and the Rocca Albornoziana on the opposite side. The title is engraved at the bottom center beyond the image, on the right B. Rosaspina inc. RB embossed stamp. Excellent print. Excellent state of conservation, except for some minimal abrasions restored on the reverse.
