Description
View from "Briefe über Rom" by Christian Traugott Weinlig, published between 1781 and 1787, illustrated with works by J. Friederick inspired by Piranesi's views of Rome. The works are faithful adaptations of the "Views of Rome" series, as the author himself states, signing himself "J.C. J. Friederick F. secundum Piranesi.".
Johann Christian Jacob Friedrich (October 13, 1746, Friedrichstadt near Dresden – June 3, 1813, ibid.) was a flower and landscape painter. He was also famous for his copper engravings. "Thieme/Becker," though exhaustive in itself, lists only 15 such engravings, illustrating the "Briefe über Rom" (Letters on Rome) by the Saxon architect Christian Traugott Weinlig, written between 1767 and 1769, but published only between 1781 and 1787.
Etching, in excellent condition.

Jacob (Johann Christian Jacob) Friedrich (13.October.1746 Friedricchstadt near Dresden - ibidem 3. June 1813) was a flower- and landscape painter. He was also famous for his copper etchings. Here we are interested in the latter, because Friedrich has etched a series of Roman architecture after Giovanni Battista in a quart format. The all-comprehensive artists lexicon “Thieme/Becker" gives only 15 etchings of such etchings, illustrating Saxonian architect Christian Traugott Weinlig's “Briefe über Rom" (Letters about Rome) which were written between 1767 and 1769, but not published until 1781 to 1787.
