Title:	Allegory of Victory
Engraver:	Cipriani, Galgano (Siena, 1775 - )
Director:	Morghen, Raphael (Florence, 1758 - 1833)
Designer:	Le Sueur
Date:	c. 1823
Medium:	Original Engraving
Director:	Morghen, Raphael (Florence, 1758 - 1833)
Note:	Galgano Cipriani: Cipriani studied art and engraving techniques under Raphael Morghen at the Academy of Florence. During his career he engraved many fine designs after Renaissance and Baroque masters, including Guido Reni and Titian. Galgano Cipriani was a Professor at both the Academies of Naples and Venice.
	Like Morghen, Galgano Cipriani based his engraved style upon creating a network of intricate intersected lines and cross hatchings to build strong areas of light and shade. This is clearly in evidence in "Allegory of Victory", where striking textural and tonal values are brilliantly portrayed.
	The engraving of Allegory of Victory must surely have been considered an important commission as both Raphael Morghen and Galgano Cipriani were involved in its creation. Light is shed upon its importance by the dedication to General Manfredini along the lower margin. Manfredini was a hero of both the Napoleonic war and the war between Italy and Austria (1821-1823).
	Raphael Morghen: One of the greatest engravers of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Raphael Morghen first received instruction from his father, Filippo Morghen (1730-1777), who himself was an accomplished engraver of mythological subjects and portraits. Filippo Morghen was quick to recognize the remarkable talents of his son and sent him to Rome to complete his studies under Volpato. Raphael Morghen published his first engraving at the tender age of twelve. By the age of twenty he had established himself as one of the leading engravers of Europe and received numerous commissions for his beautiful portraits and mythological and religious images.
	During his career, Raphael Morghen both lived and worked in Naples, Rome and in Florence. In total he executed over two hundred and fifty-two original engravings after the art of such masters as Raphael, Titian, Bronzino, Correggio and Matteini. He was a member of Italy's most prestigious academies and of the French Institute. Raphael Morghen was also appointed the principle Professor of the Academy at Florence by the Grand Duke Ferdinand III (1793). From this position he influenced an entire generation of early nineteenth century engravers, such as one of his finest students, Galgano Cipriani.
