Published Dec.r 8th 1778 by J. Mortimer Norfolk Street Strand [but Thomas Palser, 1812?].
Folio, 370 x 275mm (14½ x 10¾"), original boards with printed title label; etched title and 16 plates, some watermarked '1811'. A little wear to covers, plates generally clean.
A posthumous edition of Mortimer's 'Fifteen Etchings', a collection of romantic scenes inspired by Mortimer's hero, the painter Salvador Rosa (a portrait of whom is one of the plates); the subjects include banditti, allegorical figures of Comedy and Tragedy, a portrait of painter Gerard Lairesse and six fantastical plates of sea-monsters. Two of the monsters are additional plates, by Mortimer but dated 1780, added to the work by Mortimer's widow Jane. The series was dedicated to the President of the Royal Academy the year that Mortimer first exhibited there (rather than at the Society of Artists) and, shortly after, elected A.R.A. Mortimer died in 1779, aged only 38. His widow republished the plates in 1780, with the addition of two more plates of sea-monsters ('Revengeful' and 'Sleeping', dated 1780 but both drawn and engraved by Mortimer). Christie's held a sale of Jane Mortimer's property in 1808, at which Thomas Palser presumably bought the printing plates: he published 'Mortimer's works: a collection of fifty historical designs' (including this series) in 1812, with a second edition in 1816

Sculpture of a naiad, reclining on a lion skin while a young winged cupid plays the lyre at her feet, seen from behind. Embedded in the naiad's rocky couch is an over turned jar, from which flows a spring of water; while Canova (1757-1822) was content to call his subject a nymph, his friend and biographer Leopoldo Cicognara more accurately calls her a naiad, a type of nymph that presides in fresh water, prompted by the carved detail of flowing water. Antonio Canova's original sculpture, commissioned by Lord Cawdor in 1814, is a variant of Guido Reni's painting 'Venus reclining with Cupid' (c.1639); the sculpture is currently part of the Royal Collection at Buckingham Palace.

A sculpture of Pauline Bonaparte, portrayed as Venus, reclining in a triclinium, seen from the front. Pauline Bonaparte (1780-1825) was the second sister of Napoleon Bonaparte. After her first marriage ended with the death of her husband, she married Camillo Borghese. Anotnio Canova's sculpture was commissioned by Camillo in 1805 for his wife, who was originally to be portrayed as the chaste goddess Diana. Aware of her promiscuous reputation, but also tastefully drawing on the mythic ancestry of the Borghese family, Pauline had the subject changed to 'Venus'. Her sculpted figure also holds an apple, invoking Venus' victory in the Judgement of Paris. The original sculpture is in the Galleria Borghese, Italy. See also Ref 55012.
