Rosalind.
Rosalind. vide Shakespears play of As you like it.
Painted by Angelica Kauffman. Engrav'd by Bartolozzi.
Lon. Pub'd Feb.y 10 1792 by J. Read, Coventry Court, Coventry St.
Stipple, platemark 195 x 150mm (7¾ x 6"). Trimmed inside platemark left and right.
Rosalind, from Shakespeare's 'As You Like It', after a painting by Angelica Kauffman, RA (1741 - 1807), Swiss-born Neoclassical painter who had a successful career in London and Rome. She attracted international patronage and was much admired by fellow artists. Kauffman's funeral in Rome was arranged by Antonio Canova and attended by representatives from both the Roman and foreign academies, carrying along in triumph of two of Kauffman's own works in obvious emulation of Raphael's funeral. Stipple engraving by Francesco Bartolozzi (1725-1815). 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). He was already hailed as the best engraver in Italy when he met George III's librarian Richard Dalton in 1763. Dalton invited 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. This impression from the collection of Dr. Augusto Calabi of Milan, art historian who co-authored (with A.B. de Vesme) the authoritative catalogue raisonné of Bartolozzi's work. This state is not listed in the catalogue.

Stipple, very fine impression, open letter proof before quote from play. 495 x 630mm (19¾ x 24¾"), with large margins.
Ulysses restrains Troilius, who watches from behind hangings in Calchas' tent, as Cressida sits holding Diomedes by the hand, agreeing finally to give him the sleeve Troilius gave her as a love token. John Boydell (1720-1804), publisher and Lord Mayor of London in 1790, began his Shakespeare Gallery to encourage British historical painting by commissioning paintings on the theme of Shakeapeare's plays from leading artists and reproducing them as high quality prints. When his gallery in Pall Mall opened in 1789 it contained 34 paintings; by the end it has nearly 170, by artists including Kauffman, Richard Westall, Thomas Stothard, George Romney, Henry Fuseli, Benjamin West, Robert Smirke, John Opie & Francesco Bartolozzi. 96 were engraved, published separately until the bound edition, ''A Collection of Prints, From Pictures Painted for the Purpose of Illustrating the Dramatic Works of Shakspeare, by the Artists of Great-Britain'' was issued in 1805. The project was over-ambitious and the cost caused the firm to go bankrupt.
