About the Item

Barchetta, ref. 531 Etching, mm 216 x 292 - inches 8,5 x 11,5 A prominent figure of the art of engraving in Italy, Federica Galli was born in 1932 in Soresina – a village just outside Cremona. Straight after the war, in 1946, she convinced her parents to enrol her at the Artistic Lyce-um in Milan and in 1950 she went on to attend the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera, from where she graduated four years later with a diploma in painting. She began engraving in 1954 - “Il paese dell’Alberta”- experimenting with etching, a technique she never abandoned for the rest of her life. In 1966 she married the journalist, Giovanni Raimondi – editor-in-chief of the Corriere della Sera – and began to embark on a densely packed programme of cultural trips that took her to the most important European capitals, and to countries where the art of engraving is less deeply rooted. This was also the year in which she matured the conviction that engraving was the technique in which she expressed herself most effectively and started to apply herself exclusively to this art form, producing over eight hundred different subjects. Starting from her early personal exhibitions – the first one took place in 1960 in Milan – she met with the favour of the public and critics alike. In the space of a few years, she could count on the support of some of the most authoritative critics of her time: Franco Russoli, Mario de Micheli, Giovanni Testori – who was to follow her closely until he died - Mina Gregori, Gian Alberto dell’Acqua, Roberto Tassi, Renzo Zorzi, Carlo Bo, Daniel Berger (Metropolitan Museum of New York), Gina Lagorio, Giuseppe and Francesco Frangi, Marco Fragonara, Giorgio Soavi and David Landau (Oxford University). Ten years after her death, in 2019, the city of Milan has paid homage to her with a large institutional retrospective, the Green Grand Tour exhibition and the naming of a new city street.

Federica Galli, an exquisite and prominent Italian etcher, dedicated two to the etchings of 39 Venice Viewscaps. She was able to interpret the splendid Italian city from an authentic unique standpoint. Some of the 39 Views have been conceived as pairs, such as those featured above. The pair of prints comprising Lo Squero, which is the most historic Gondole manufacturer boats in Venice, and it is still operating; and Lake of Pageri. The two prints are perfect in terms of both size and atmosphere. Lo Squero, etching, cm 29,3x79,1 (plate size + margins) Lago dei Pageri, etching, cm 29,4x79,3 (plate size + margins) A numbered and signed limited edition at 90. Unframed. Illustrations featuring both views; exhibitions on Mrs Galli's artworks in Federica Galli Foundation and in other locations; and her portrait taken by photographer Gianni Berengo Gardin...
