| Note: | William Long: A talented early 19th century British painter and printmaker, William Long was admitted as a probationer and registered as a student at the Royal Academy Schools in 1816. He was awarded a silver medal for an original sketch of a lady and child at the Society of Arts in 1814-1815, and continued to exhibit at the Royal Academy from 1821 – 1855. William Long later worked with William Young Ottley engraving and etching many plates for Ottley's Italian art publications, including The Italian School of Design set. Some of his best work was created at this time. "Group in the Fresco by Raffaello, the Story of Heliodorus in the Vatican", is an original soft ground etching based upon a drawing by Raphael. It is one of many original soft ground etchings William long contributed to the portfolio published by William Young Ottley entitled "The Italian School of Design" |
| Raphael (Raffaello Santi or Raffaello Sanzio di Urbino): Although he lived only thirty-seven years Raphael stands at the summit of High Renaissance art. He entered the workshop of Perugino in Perugia some time before 1499 and remained there until 1504. He then worked for four years in Florence before moving permanently to Rome. There Raphael was commissioned by Pope Julius II to decorate the papal apartments. Such famous frescoes as the School of Athens were completed by 1511. In 1513, Leo X became Pope and appointed Raphael his Prefect of Antiquities. Raphael's duties now widened to include architecture, archaeology and tapestry design. Upon his early death in 1520, Raphael was buried with the highest honors in the Pantheon. Raphael is also listed as (Raffaello Santi & Raffaello Sanzio di Urbino). | |
| William Young Ottley: Born in Thatcham, England, 1771, William Ottley will forever be remembered both as an artist and as an art scholar. Having studied art under Cuitt and then in the Schools of the Royal Academy, London, William Ottley went to Italy in 1791 where he resided for ten years, researching and collecting works of Renaissance art. During his life Ottley became the greatest authority on the art of the Italian Renaissance and, upon returning to London, published a number of portfolios and books upon this subject. Apart from the biographical and scholarly information William Ottley unearthed, the most valuable product of his researches was the meticulously detailed and artistic etchings and engravings he published. Either in their large folio size or in the smaller miniatures, these outstanding masterpieces of original printmaking have been admired for almost two centuries. Later in his life (1833), William Young Ottley was appointed to the prestigious post of Keeper of the Prints for the British Museum. | |
| The literary contributions of William Young Ottley included such works as, "The Italian School Of Design" (1808-1823), "An Inquiry Into The Origin And Early History of Engraving, Upon copper and in Wood, With An Account of Engravers And Their Works, From The Invention of Chalcography By Maso Finiguerra, To The Time of Marc' Antonio Raimondi", 2 volumes, (1816), "Engravings Of The Most Noble The Marquis Of Stafford's Collection Of Pictures, In London, Arranged According To Schools, And In Chronological Order, With Remarks On Each Picture,", 3 vols. (1818), "A Series of Plates, Engraved After The Paintings And Sculptures Of The Most Eminent Masters Of The Early Florentine School"; (1826), "A Descriptive Catalogue of The Pictures In The National Gallery" (1826), "The Original and Early History of Engraving", 2 volumes (1826), and "A Collection of One Hundred and Twenty-Nine Fac-Similes of Scarce and Curious Prints, By the Early Masters of the Italian, German, and Flemish Schools" (1828). Then in (1831), Ottley authored, "Notices of Engravers, and Their Works: Being The Commencement of a New Dictionary, Which it is Not Intended Continue, Containing Some Account of Upwards of Three Hundred Masters...", and "An Enquiry Concerning the Invention of Printing" was published posthumously (1863). Group in the Fresco by Raffaello, the Story of Heliodorus in the Vatican by William Long etched after a drawing by Raphael (Raffaello Santi) hails from Ottley's first published work, The Italian School of Design. | |
| Of all William Ottley's works of art, The Italian School of Design stands as his paramount achievement. Concentrating upon the drawings in his own collection by such masters of the High Renaissance as Raphaele, Correggio, the Carraccis, Salvator Rosa and other early Italian artists, William Ottley began work on his major opus as early as 1808, publishing etchings and engravings in monthly parts and concluding the work in 1823. Altogether, the completed portfolio contained eighty-four plates, engraved by such eminent artists as Luigi Schiavonetti (1765 - 1810), Thomas Vivares (1735 - 1821), William Long (act. early 19th c.), Giovanni Vendramini (1769 - 1839), J. Perry, John Romney (1786 - 1863), Ignace Joseph de Claussen (1769 95 - 1844), William Young Ottley (1771 - 1836), Frederick Christian Lewis (1779 - 1856), and his younger brother, George Lewis (1782 - 1871), and others. The utmost care was taken with each engraved work, with the artists often venturing into the most complex mediums, such as stippling, soft-ground and aquatint. William Young Ottley himself supervised the progress of each etching. These original etchings revolutionized British trends in art and had a profound impact upon the art of the Pre-Raphaelites in the later nineteenth century. This original etching and engraving entitled, Group in the Fresco by Raffaello Representing the Story of Heliodorus in the Vatican is based upon a drawing by Raphael. It was engraved by William Young Ottley's portfolio entitled, The Italian School of Design published by Taylor and Hessey, 13, Waterloo Place, and 93, Fleet-Street, London in 1823. | |
| William Young Ottley contributed at least ten original etchings to his "The Italian School of Design". He either worked on the plates along with another printmaker or would etch the entire plate himself. They were all based upon the drawings in his collection attributed to Michelangelo, Niccola Pisano, Giunta Pisano, Giovanni Cimabue, Giotto di Bondone, Niccolo di Betto Bardi ‘Donatello’, Leonardo da Vinci, Raffaello Sanzio 'Raphael', Francesco Mazzuoli and others. William Long also contributed many etchings to this portfolio, most of them attributed to drawings after Raffaello Sanzio. These include; #31. "Three figures in conversation" after Michelangiolo, #40. "Head-piece, A group of Women and Children from the Fresco of Raffaelle, representing 'The story of Heliodorus,' in the Vatican" after Raffaelle, #42. "The Nativity" after Raffaelle, #45.
