Francesco Bartolozzi's original stipple engraving and etching, "Love and Fortune" was published by Rudolph Ackermann in London in 1800. It was actually one of a pair of vignettes engraved by Francesco Bartolozzi at this time. Its companion piece is entitled, "Cupid and Psyche". This original stipple engraving is one of the collaborative works of art which Giovanni Battista Cipriani designed and Francesco Bartolozzi engraved. It is inscribed, lower left: "Cipriani Inv.", lower right: "Fr. Bartolozzi Sculp." & titled lower center: "Love & Fortune" within the image as published by Rudolph Ackermann. This is a striking, original example of the stipple engraving created by the Italian / British artist, Francesco Bartolozzi. |

Note: | Francesco Bartolozzi: Born in Florence, Italy in 1727, Francesco Bartolozzi is undoubtedly England’s most famous stipple engraver of the late eighteenth century. He studied under the Florentine artists, Ignazio Hugford (1703 – 1775) and Giovanni Domenico Ferretti (1692 – 1778). In 1748 Bartolozzi went to Venice and worked for the engraver and print dealer Joseph Wagner (1706 – 1786) where he began his career engraving plates after the Italian masters. Then in 1764 Francesco Bartolozzi was invited by the King of England, King George III (1738 – 1820) to come to London to engrave the drawings of Guercino ‘Giovanni Francesco Barbieri’ (1591 – 1666), Pellegrino Tibaldi (1527 – 1596) and other Italian artists in the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle. Shortly after, he was appointed ‘Engraver to the King’. In 1768, Bartolozzi received the honour of being the first engraver to gain full membership into the prestigious Royal Academy. In 1802, and after nearly forty years in London, Bartolozzi was offered the prominent position as the director of the National Academy in Lisbon. He remained in Lisbon until his death in 1815. |
A new printmaking technique had recently come to the fore in England at this time and, although Francesco Bartolozzi made no claim to its invention, his name is forever linked with the 'stipple' engraving. Briefly, a stipple engraving is created by using masses of flicks or dots rather than solid lines, making it a more tonal composition. This is clearly seen in this original stipple engraving entitled, Love and Fortune. More than any other artist, Francesco Bartolozzi mastered this subtle medium. | |
Francesco Bartolozzi quickly recognized that this very demanding method of original printmaking was best suited for decorative works and portraits as well as scenes displaying flesh tones. He thus set up his famous London workshop which published renderings of either sentimental or mythological subjects, with such well known painters as Francis Wheatley (1747 - 1801), Angelica Kauffmann (1741 - 1807), Giovanni Battista Cipriani (1727 - 1785) and Lady Diana Beauclerk (1734 - 1808) specifically creating designs for him to engrave. Bartolozzi's success with the stipple was enormous. He was one of the first engravers granted a full membership to the Royal Academy, and in the last decades of the eighteenth century, a large following of English and transplanted Italian students sat in his studio to learn his techniques. His students included such fine artists as Luigi Schiavonetti (1765 - 1810), Peltro William Tomkins (1760 - 1840), and Benedetto Pastorini (1741 – 1839).(Some of his students later engraved the popular Cries of London series.) Stippling, however, was destined to live a very short life. It was extremely laborious and time consuming and soon gave way to the more convenient and mass-produced forms of printmaking in the nineteenth century. | |
Giovanni Battista Cipriani (Florence, 1727 - London (Hammersmith), 1785): In many ways Giovanni Battista Cipriani is as important to the development of British graphic art of the latter eighteenth century as his fellow Italian contemporary, Francesco Bartolozzi. Giovanni Battista Cipriani was a pupil with Francesco Bartolozzi at the art school of Ignatius Hugford, in Florence. In 1750, he went to Rome to complete his education. He then returned to Florence and painted commissioned works for the convent of Santa Maria Maddalena de' Pazzi. Giovanni Cipriani came to England in 1755. Several years later his childhood companion, Bartolozzi, arrived in London and the two artists began producing many great collaborative works of art which G. B. Cipriani designed and Francesco Bartolozzi and pupils engraved. | |
G. B. Cipriani also developed a considerable reputation as a painter and archivist. In this latter category he restored valuable paintings and murals by Rubens and Varrio. In 1768 he became a founding member of the Royal Academy and designed that institution's diploma. Giovanni Battista Cipriani died in Hammersmith in 1785 and was buried in Chelsea. There, a monument to his memory was designed and erected by Francesco Bartolozzi. | |
