About the Item

The knight and his horse is an etching realized by Giambattista Tiepolo, in 1785.  Sheet 23 x 30 cm. Good impressions on paper, with wide margins. Reference: De Vesme, 3/10; Rizzi 29/38. Succi 41/50.  It belongs to the edition of "Varii Capriccj" dedicated to Girolamo Manfrin. This is the only edition which was issued as a stand-alone publication. Following Rutgers, the realization of the series was realized between 1733  and 1735. One of the most celebrated painters of eighteenth-century in Italy, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (1696-1770) began making prints with his first collection of ten etchings, known as the Varj Capriccj: a very personal response to the production by Salvator Rosa and Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione . The prints don't have any straightforward or overt meanings, surely several prints evoke the ancient or Arcadian world, with classical urns, figures alongside tombstones, and fragments of obelisks; in one plate, the figure of Death was reading a book, faced by a group of the living. Tiepolo’s Vari Capricci received with great acclaim among collectors and connoisseurs, thanks to their technical virtuosity and to their enigmatic meanings, a mark of his brilliance and a successful and personal declension of the “capriccio”. In 1774 Pierre-Jean Mariette wrote about Tiepolo: “ Rich and fertile genius … it shines above all in his prints ’'.

Located in Langweer, NL

Title: Antique Oriental Horsemen Lithograph after Carle Vernet, circa 1825 Description: A finely executed and highly atmospheric French lithograph depicting two spirited equestrian scenes inspired by the celebrated works of Carle Vernet, one of the most influential sporting and military artists of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Produced in France around the 1820s, the sheet presents two separate compositions featuring Arab or Mameluke horsemen handling energetic horses within evocative desert-like settings. The lower margin indicates the composition was “dessiné par Aubry d’après C. Vernet” (drawn by Aubry after Carle Vernet), while the lithographic printing was executed by the important Parisian lithographic publisher F. Delpech (“Impr. lithog. de F. Delpech”). François-Séraphin Delpech was among the pioneering French lithographic printers during the Restoration period and collaborated with many of the leading artists of the era. Carle Vernet (1758–1836) was internationally admired for his mastery of equestrian subjects, cavalry scenes, hunting imagery, and Orientalist themes. His depictions of Arabian horses and exotic horsemen strongly influenced European taste during the Napoleonic and Restoration periods. Following Napoleon’s Egyptian campaigns and Europe’s growing fascination with the Ottoman world and North Africa, scenes of Mamelukes, Arab riders, and Oriental horses...
