| Francesco Bartolozzi's original stipple engraving, "Shrimps!" (also titled elswhere as, "The Shrimp Girl") is based upon a painting William Hogarth created around 1750. In fact, this engraving was originally commissioned and published in 1782 by Hogarth's widow, Mrs. Jane Hogarth and later published by John and Josiah Boyed for the Heath edition. This particular was published in 1782 by Mrs. Jane Hogarth. It is inscribed in the lower left: "W. Hogarth Pinx.", lower right: "F. Bartolozzi Sculp." & titled lower center: "Shrimps! / Engrav'd from an Original Scetch in Oil by Hogarth in the Possession of Mrs. Hogarth", and the publisher's details, "Pulish'd March 25th, 1782, by Jane Hogarth & R-d Livesay, Leicester Fields". This is a fine, original example of the portrait art created by the British artists, Francesco Bartolozzi and William Hogarth. |
| Title: | Shrimps |

| Publisher: | Jane Hogarth & R-d Livesay, Leicester Fields |
| 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 Shrimps!. 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. | |
| William Hogarth: The name of William Hogarth requires little in the way of an introduction. He is the unquestioned father of England's rich tradition of satire and remains one of the most original and lively minds in the entire history of British art. Famous for his paintings, Hogarth's engravings and etchings are even more paramount: the imagery from The Harlot's Progress, Marriage a la Mode, The Four Stages of Cruelty, The Four Times of the Day and a host of others are crucial to an understanding of eighteenth century art and culture. Yet, William Hogarth's art stretched beyond his time and his masterful graphic art is as relevant to our society as they were to his. | |
| Training first as an engraver, William Hogarth became an independent illustrator as early as 1720. In his spare time he studied painting techniques, notably under Sir James Thornhill. By 1730 he established himself as a portrait painter. Yet at the same time, William Hogarth began creating sets of anecdotal pictures which brilliantly satirized society and its activities. The first such set, A Harlot's Progress (1732), gained for Hogarth a strong and lasting national reputation. During the following decades he both painted and engraved individual works and sets of images which forged the cornerstone for English satirical art. Such great masters as Rowlandson, Gillray, Heath and Cruikshank followed in Hogarth's footsteps. "Shrimps!" (also titled, "The Shrimp Girl") was painted by William Hogarth around 1750. It remained in his studio until after his death. Now considered one of William Hogarth's greatest portrait studies it is presently in the collection of the National Gallery, London. | |
"Shrimps!" (also titled elswhere as, "The Shrimp Girl") was painted by William Hogarth around 1750. It remained in his studio until after his death. Now considered one of William Hogarth's greatest portrait studies it is presently in the collection of the National Gallery, London. "Shrimps!" is an outstanding example of an original Francesco Bartolozzi stipple engraving. Stippling is used almost exclusively throughout the entire composition to create strong tonal values and delicate flesh hues. It is of course one of the most famous paintings by the great eighteenth century British artist, William Hogarth. In fact, this engraving was originally commissioned and published in 1782 by Hogarth's widow, Mrs. Jane Hogarth and later published by John and Josiah Boyed for the Heath edition. This particular was published by Mrs. Jane Hogarth in 1782. It is inscribed in the lower left: "W. Hogarth Pinx.", lower right: "F. Bartolozzi Sculp." & titled lower center: "Shrimps! / Engrav'd from an Original Scetch in Oil by Hogarth in the Possession of Mrs. Hogarth", and the publisher's details, "Pulish'd March 25th, 1782, by Jane Hogarth & R-d Livesay, Leicester Fields". |
