Cupid Refusing Love to Desire.
Drawn by F. Bartolozzi R.A. [...] F. Vieira Junior inv.t [...] Engraved by John Vendramini.
London Published May 1 1800 by F. Bartolozzi & J. Vendramini.
Stipple, platemark 365 x 475mm (14¼ x 18½"), with large large margins.
Mythological subject after Francesco Bartolozzi. Bartolozzi was born in Florence but migrated to England, and in 1768 was elected as a founding member of the Royal Academy in London (the RA did not admit engravers at this time but made an exception in his case, getting around the rules by electing Bartolozzi as a painter). He was already hailed as the best engraver in Italy when he met George III's librarian Richard Dalton in 1763. Dalton enticed Bartolozzi to London with a promise of an appointment as engraver to the king. In England he became the most celebrated exponent of the 'stipple' technique whereby he produced prints using dots rather than lines. In 1801 Bartolozzi was invited to Lisbon to reform the royal printing press, and he spent his final years in Portugal. One of few prints engraved after a drawing by Bartolozzi rather than by Bartolozzi from another artist's designs. Provenance: Edge Hall Library, Cheshire

Etched by Francesco Bartolozzi (1725-1815), Florentine engraver who in 1768 was elected as a founding member of the Royal Academy in London (the RA did not admit engravers at this time but made an exception in his case). He was already hailed as the best engraver in Italy when he met George III's librarian Richard Dalton in 1763.
