$4,575.00

This is a set of three framed 18th century engravings depicting statues found in the Vatican, including: "Pescatore" (Fisherman), "Pastore" (Shepherd) and "Istrione" (Actor), "Gia nella Villa Mattei" (Found in the Villa Mattei). These original engravings were created after drawings by Vincenzo Dolcibene (1746-1820) for the Il Museo Pio Clementino. They were published in Rome in 1784 by the conservator of the Capitoline Museum in the Vatican, Italian archaeologist Ennio Quirini Visconti (1751-1818). They are meant to illustrate the fine antiquities on exhibit at the Museum of Sculpture established in 1771 by Pope Clement XIV (1705-1774).

These prints are presented in identical distinctive and stylish black wood frames and double mats; the outer mats are light grey and the inner mats are black. The frames and prints are in excellent condition. Each frame measures 28" high, 21.13" wide and 1" deep. They would make a wonderful display grouping, but are also available as individual purchases, if preferred, for $1,575/each.
