Description

Ambitious annual publication by the publisher Paolo Ripamonti Carpano, known above all for his precious Strenne illustrated with beautiful chromolithographs, welcome gifts on the occasion of New Year's Eve in the families of the 19th century bourgeoisie. Published starting in 1845, suspended in 1849 and resumed in 1852, the Gemme d'arti italiane had the ambitious aim of presenting themselves as a brief excursus of the artistic panorama of the moment through engravings and descriptions of works by painters and sculptors of the time. In our volume we propose 11 beautiful copper-engraved plates accompanied by a historical-artistic commentary (among the painters represented Domenico Induno and Francesco Hayez), preceded by a double frontispiece (the second in chromolithograph), the publisher's notice on the resumption of publication after the suspension for three years, the dedication to the Marchese Guglielmo di Bevilacqua in a beautiful chromolithographic frame and a long introduction by Antonio Zoncada. The tables are followed by Notes on the Exhibition of Fine Arts in Brera for the year 1851.
