Signora Baccelli.
Painted by T. Gainsborough R.A. Engraved by John Jones.
London Pub.d Feb.y 5th 1784 by J. Jones No. 63 Great Portland Street Marylebone.
Rare mezzotint. 535 x 350mm (21 x 13¾"), with largemargins on three sides. Slight mark centre top. Top area slightly rubbed.
Giovanna Baccelli (1774, fl.- d.1801), dancer. Baccelli, first appeared at the King's Theatre, Haymarket in 1774. She reached the peak of her career during the 1780-1 season when she appeared with Gaetan Vestris and his son Auguste in several important ballets devised by Noverre. She also danced in Venice in 1783-4, and at the Paris Opéra as late as 1788. Baccelli was equally known as a mistress of John Frederick Sackville, 3rd Duke of Dorset (1745-99), who had set up Baccelli in a suite of rooms at Knole by October 1779. Baccelli accompanied him to Paris in 1783 when he was appointed Ambassador to France. They entertained lavishly, patronising the Paris Opéra, and were admitted to the friendship of Queen Marie-Antoinette. Horace Walpole records that when the Duke was awarded the Order of the Garter in 1788, Baccelli danced at the Opéra wearing the blue Garter ribbon around her head. As the events of the French Revolution unfolded, the pair returned to Knole, where Baccelli remained until their amicable parting in 1789. Engraved by John Jones after the portrait by Thomas Gainsborough (exhibited 1782) which hangs in Tate Britain. Gainsborough was well-acquainted with many theatre people, including Richard Brinsley Sheridan, the famous dramatist and part-owner of the King's Theatre. When this portrait was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1782, Gainsborough's portrait of the Duke of Dorset was withdrawn, presumably for reasons of decorum. As well as commissioning this portrait, the Duke also patronised Gainsborough's great rival Joshua Reynolds, who painted Baccelli in 1783.

H. Carraccio pinx: [...] F. Piloty del [c.1820]
Lithograph, sheet 420 x 370mm (16½ x 14½").
Lithograph after a painting here attributed to Annibale or Agostino Carracci, from 'Königlich Baierischer Gemälde-Saal zu München und Schleissheim in Steindruck', a very large series of prints reproducing old master and modern drawings in Munich collections, published between 1816 and 1821. The lithographs were drawn by Ferdinand Piloty (as here) and his partner J.N. Strixner. Unlike its predecessor 'Les Ouevres Lithographiques' (1810-16), this series went beyond reproducing works of the German school to represent the entire painting collection in Munich. These prints were made while the technique of lithography was still in its infancy- colour lithograph was yet to be introduced and so the printmakers used one or two tint stones to add greater subtlety to the prints.
For other plates from the series see refs. 43534, 43535 etc.
