Description

An 18th Century neoclassical stipple engraving, in sepia, created by the renowned Italian printmaker Francesco Bartolozzi (1727-1815)

The engraving utilises a classical Renaissance and Baroque motif of putti (cherubs) to playfully represent the liberal arts and manual disciplines: sculpture, painting, architecture.

A wonderful and collectable example of Neoclassical decorative printmaking, not to mention some handsome looking cupids!

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

During the 18th century, classical motifs featuring putti or cupids were widely produced via copperplate engraving to symbolise the arts, sciences, and philosophy within Neoclassical interiors.

These artworks were typically printed using hand-engraved copper plates onto rag paper using iron oxide or carbon-based inks, and subsequently mounted within dark or gilded wood frames.

Authentic period prints feature distinct plate mark impressions around the image border, visible chain lines in the hand-laid rag paper, and signs of age-related discolouration or foxing.

Position the piece above a side cabinet, desk, or within a curated gallery wall to introduce historical detail alongside modern or classical furnishings.

Display the artwork away from direct sunlight and areas of high humidity, ensuring UV-protective glass is utilised to prevent fading and deterioration of the paper.
