Description

Dopo circa 100 anni dalla prima edizione italiana, contraffatta, dell'atlante tascabile di Ortelius (Pietro Marchetti Brescia 1598), una nuova versione dello stesso atlante viene stampata da Domico Lovisa, con il titolo di "Teatro del Mondo".

Le lastre sono nuovamente incise e vengono stampate nel 1697 e successivamente nel 1724.

Incisione in rame, in perfette condizioni. Esemplare dell'edizione 1724. Molto rara.

Domenico LOVISA (Venezia 1690 circa – 1750 circa)

Italian publisher. His printing press was situated 'underneath the arches at Rialto' in Venice, and he is known almost exclusively for the publication of a series of large prints, titled Il Gran Teatro di Venezia ovvero descrizione esatta di cento delle più insigni prospettive e di altretante celebri pitture della medesima città. The first edition is undated, but it probably came out c. 1717. As originally planned, the series was to include 200 prints, but this ambition was not realized, and even the second edition (1720, 2 vols) has only c. 120 prints. The approximately 57 plates contained in the first volume reproduce paintings that hung in Venetian public buildings, including works by Veronese, Titian, Tintoretto, Palma Giovane. They were engraved by Andrea Zucchi, Domenico Rossetti (1650-1736), Giacomo Burri, Domenico Bonavera (b 1640), Pietro Sante Bartoli, Agostino dalla Via and others. The second volume contains a varying number (up to 66) of views of Venice (see exh. Cat., figs 279-82) engraved by Filippo Vasconi (1687-1730), Giuseppe Valeriani (d 1761), Carlo and Andrea Zucchi, as well as an unidentified monogrammist, S.F. This series was reprinted a number of times in the 18th century.
