SICKLER Friedrich Charles Louis
Veduta di Roma ad Monte Mario
Schematica veduta a contorno di Roma da Monte Mario, pubblicata nel 1816, e ristampata più volte assieme al testo esplicativo, che, priva di finalità artistiche, era indirizzata, come avverte l'autore, "à l'usage des voyageurs". Si tratta del "Pantogramma des Environs de Rome destiné à faire suite au Plan Topographique due même pays" di F. Ch. L. Sickler, Membre de l'Academie des Antiquités à Rome". Nelle otto fitte righe presenti nella parte superiore dell'incisione, oblunga e in tre rami, sono riportati i nomi degli antichi popoli del Lazio, delle località e paesi dei dintorni, antichi e moderni, i monumenti più importanti, le chiese, molti palazzi e le strade principali del centro cittadino.Acquaforte, impressa su carta vergata coeva, più volte ripiegata, leggere ossidazioni per il resto in ottimo stato di conservazione. Schematic view of Rome from Monte Mario, published in 1816, that was realized "à l'usage des voyageurs". Taken from the "Pantogramma des Environs de Rome destiné à faire suite au Plan Topographique due même pays" by F. Ch. L. Sickler, Membre de l'Academie des Antiquités à Rome ".In the eight dense lines in the upper part of the engraving are listed the names of the ancient peoples of Lazio, the localities and villages of the surroundings, ancient and modern, the most important monuments, churches, many palaces and streets of the city center.Etching, printed on contemporary laid paper and folded, some foxing otherwise very good.

SILVESTRE Israel (Nancy, 1621 - Parigi, 1691).
(Panorama di Roma)
Acquaforte, 1645/50 circa, firmata in lastra in basso a destra..Inusuale veduta panoramica della città, con vista su vari monumenti, descritti in basso in un legenda di 9 punti, riportata in basso in italiano e francese e che comprende: 1. Vestigij del Tempio della Pace . 2. Chiesa di S.ta Francesca Romana . 3. Vigna Fanesia . 4. Vestigij del Palazzo Maggiore. 5. Vestigij della Casa di Cicerone. 6. St. Maria liberatrice . 7. St. Pietro Montorio. 8. Frontespitio dell'Acqua Paula. 9. Colonne restate del Tempio di Giove Statore. La Basilica, in primo piano, è disegnata con grande dettaglio, come pure il panorama della città, dove sono riconoscibili numerose opere architettoniche. Come per il panorama generale di Roma, anche questa veduta generale venne probabilmente incisa "da un disegno eseguito ad vivum da L. de Lincher, un disegnatore francese poco noto che fu attivo in quegli anni a Roma e fornì i sui disegni a diversi incisori fra i quali anche il conterraneo Francois Collignon" (cfr. Barbara Jatta in "Roma Veduta" p. 164),Il Silvestre, incisore e disegnatore, nasce a Nancy nel 1621. Tra il 1638 e il 1641 viaggiò in Italia; si hanno notizie della sua presenza nella Penisola ancora nel 1643 e nel 1653. Il suo stile fu, all’inizio, piuttosto sciolto, ma dal 1643 in poi divenne più raffinato e delicato, acquisendo accuratezza e precisione senza essere asciutto, risultando a volte simile a quello di Jacques Callot o di Stefano della Bella, con i quali ebbe rapporti di amicizia. Accanto alle testimonianze per la Roma antica mostrò ben presto un grandissimo interesse per la città "moderna", divenendo uno dei precursori del vedutismo - non solo nel campo incisorio - anticipando artisti come Lievin Cruyl e Gaspar van Wittel. Bellissima prova, con ampli margini, pieghe verticali dovute alla conservazione - più volte ripiegata e conservata il album - in ottimo stato di conservazione. Rara. Etching, circa 1645/50, signed on the lower right-hand plate. Unusual panoramic view of the city, with a view of various monuments, described in a 9-point legend at the bottom in Italian and French, including: 1. Vestigij del Tempio della Pace . 2. Chiesa di S.ta Francesca Romana . 3. Vigna Fanesia . 4. Vestigij del Palazzo Maggiore. 5. Vestigij della Casa di Cicerone. 6. St. Maria liberatrice . 7. St. Pietro Montorio. 8. Frontespitio dell'Acqua Paula. 9. Colonne restate del Tempio di Giove Statore. The Basilica, in the foreground, is drawn in great detail, as is the panorama of the city, where numerous architectural works are recognisable. As with the general view of Rome, this panorama was probably engraved "from a drawing made ad vivum by L. de Lincher, a little-known French draughtsman who was active in Rome in those years and supplied his drawings to various engravers, including his fellow countryman Francois Collignon" (cf. Barbara Jatta in "Roma Veduta" p. 164). Silvestre, engraver and draughtsman, was born in Nancy in 1621. Between 1638 and 1641 he travelled in Italy; there are records of his presence in the Peninsula again in 1643 and 1653. His style was rather loose at first, but from 1643 onwards it became more refined and delicate, acquiring accuracy and precision without being dry, sometimes resembling that of Jacques Callot or Stefano della Bella, with whom he was friends. Alongside the evidence for ancient Rome, he soon showed great interest in the "modern" city, becoming one of the forerunners of vedutism - not only in the field of engraving - anticipating artists such as Lievin Cruyl and Gaspar van Wittel. Beautiful proof, with wide margins, vertical folds due to storage - folded several times and stored in the album - in excellent condition. Rare.

Panorama di Roma da Monte Mario
Acquaforte, 1642, firmata in lastra in basso.Bellissima prova, impressa su carta vergata coeva, con ampi margini, in perfetto stato di conservazione.Inusuale veduta panoramica della città, presa dalle pendici di Monte Mario. La Basilica, in primo piano, è disegnata con grande dettaglio, come pure il panorama della città, dove sono riconoscibili numerose opere architettoniche. "L'incisione è la prima grande veduta di Roma realizzata da Israel Silvestre pochi anni dopo il suo arrivo in città. Questa è ripresa dalle pendici di Monte Mario e il panorama spazia dalla Porta del Popolo al complesso del Vaticano. Il formato oblungo e la scelta del punto di vista verrà largamente ripreso dagli artisti successivi. La veduta venne incisa da un disegno eseguito ad vivum da L. de Lincher, un disegnatore francese poco noto che fu attivo in quegli anni a Roma e fornì i sui disegni a diversi incisori fra i quali anche il conterraneo Francois Collignon" (cfr.

Etching, 1642, signed on lower plate.Beautiful work, printed on contemporary laid paper, wide margins, in very good condition. First, in chronological order, of the four panoramas dedicated by the French artist to the city. The engraving is the first large view of Rome made by Israel Silvestre a few years after his arrival in the city. This is taken from the slopes of Monte Mario and the panorama ranges from the Porta del Popolo to the Vatican complex. The oblong format and the choice of the viewpoint will be largely taken up by the artists who followed. The view was engraved from a drawing made ad vivum by L. de Lincher, a little-known French artist who was active in Rome in those years and supplied his drawings to various engravers, including his fellow countryman Francois Collignon (cf. Barbara Jatta in "Roma Veduta" p. 164) Silvestre, engraver and draftsman, was born in Nancy in 1621. Between 1638 and 1641 he travelled in Italy; we have news of his presence in the Peninsula still in 1643 and 1653. His style was, at the beginning, rather loose, but from 1643 onwards he became more refined and delicate, acquiring accuracy and precision without being dry, sometimes similar to that of Jacques Callot or Stefano della Bella, with whom he had friendly relations. Alongside the evidence for ancient Rome, he soon showed great interest in the 'modern' city, becoming one of the precursors of vedutism - not only in the field of engraving - anticipating artists such as Lievin Vruyl and Gaspar van Wittel.

SILVESTRE Israel (Nancy, 1621 - Parigi, 1691).
Veduta del Campo Vaccino, e duna parte delle Città, di Roma….
Acquaforte, 1652 circa, priva di firma in lastra dove troviamo la sola indicazione del privilegio. Bellissima prova, impressa su carta vergata coeva, con margini, in perfetto stato di conservazione. Veduta panoramica di Roma raffigurante presa dagli Orti Farnesiani, con il Foro Romano in primo piano. LO stemma araldico di Luigi XIV, con le armi di Francia e Navarra, è inciso al centro con la scritta Dédié au Roy. “L’impianto di questa veduta di Campo Vaccino, dedicata a Luigi XIV, che spazia dal Campidoglio alla Basilica di Massenzio, appartiene alla seconda fase della sua produzione, contraddistinta dall’estrema precisione nella rappresentazione degli edifici. È probabile che l’artista abbia scelto come punto di vista gli Horti Farnesiani sul Palatino che gli permettevano una visione dall’alto della città. Oltre alla raffigurazione dei monumenti antichi, la veduta è caratterizzata, seppure in secondo piano, dalla presenza di numerose architetture moderne della zona nord-orientale di Roma, tra le quali la chiesa di S. Maria di Loreto, Villa Medici, il Quirinale e il palazzo del cardinale Mazzarino alle Quattro Fontane” (cfr. Barbara Jatta in "Roma Veduta" p. 167). Il Silvestre, incisore e disegnatore, nasce a Nancy nel 1621. Tra il 1638 e il 1641 viaggiò in Italia; si hanno notizie della sua presenza nella Penisola ancora nel 1643 e nel 1653. Il suo stile fu, all’inizio, piuttosto sciolto, ma dal 1643 in poi divenne più raffinato e delicato, acquisendo accuratezza e precisione senza essere asciutto, risultando a volte simile a quello di Jacques Callot o di Stefano della Bella, con i quali ebbe rapporti di amicizia. Accanto alle testimonianze per la Roma antica mostrò ben presto un grandissimo interesse per la città "moderna", divenendo uno dei precursori del vedutismo - non solo nel campo incisorio - anticipando artisti come Lievin Cruyl e Gaspar van Wittel. Bibliografia Le Blanc III, p. 508, 228; Roma Veduta (2000), p. 167, n. 26; Faucheaux, Catalogue raisonné de l’oeuvre d’Israel Silvestre, 32.1; C. Marigliani, Le Piante di Roma delle collezioni private, tav. 122 Etching, about 1652, without signature on the plate where we find only the indication of the privilege. Beautiful proof, printed on contemporary laid paper, later hand colour, with margins, in perfect condition. Panoramic view of Rome taken from the Orti Farnesiani, with the Roman Forum in the foreground. The heraldic coat of arms of Louis XIV, with the arms of France and Navarre, is engraved in the center with the inscription Dédié au Roy. The layout of this view of Campo Vaccino, dedicated to Louis XIV, ranging from the Capitol to the Basilica of Maxentius, belongs to the second phase of his production, marked by extreme precision in the representation of the buildings. It is likely that the artist chose as a point of view the Horti Farnesiani on the Palatine, which allowed him a view of the city from above. In addition to the depiction of ancient monuments, the view is characterized, albeit in the background, by the presence of numerous modern buildings in the north-eastern area of Rome, including the church of S. Maria di Loreto, Villa Medici, the Quirinale and the palace of Cardinal Mazzarino at the Quattro Fontane (see Barbara Jatta in "Roma Veduta" p. 167). Silvestre, engraver and draftsman, was born in Nancy in 1621. Between 1638 and 1641 he traveled in Italy; we have news of his presence in the Peninsula again in 1643 and 1653. His style was, at the beginning, rather loose, but from 1643 onwards became more refined and delicate, acquiring accuracy and precision without being dry, resulting sometimes similar to that of Jacques Callot or Stefano della Bella, with whom he had relationships of friendship.

Vedute della Chiesa di S.to Pietro in Vaticano, et del Palazzo Papale, ed altri luoghi, disegnate in Roma fuori della porta
Acquaforte, 1652, firmata e datata in lastra in basso a sinistra Israel SIlvestre delineavit et sculpt. l'anne 1652 in Parigi. Bellissima prova, impressa su carta vergata coeva, con ampi margini, in perfetto stato di conservazione. Inusuale veduta panoramica della città, presa dalle pendici colle Vaticano - fuori da Porta Cavalleggeri come indicato nel titolo - con un magnifico e accurato dettaglio della Basilica Vaticana prima del colonnato del Bernini (1665). In alto al centro, in un cartiglio con lo stemma araldico di Louis Hesselin troviamo la dedica di Jean Vivot: Illustrissimo Nobillissimoque Domino. D. Hesselin Regi il Secretioribus Consilijs, Palatij, et Camerae denariorum Magistro Observantissimus Seruus J. Viuot Dicat. È probabile che Vivot, un comune gentiluomo della camera del Re, nominato nel 1670 custode dell'antiquariato, abbia commissionato al Silvestre questa veduta per dedicarla a Louis Hesselin, Seigneur de Condé aristocratico francese, funzionario del governo, mecenate e collezionista. Il Silvestre, incisore e disegnatore, nasce a Nancy nel 1621. Tra il 1638 e il 1641 viaggiò in Italia; si hanno notizie della sua presenza nella Penisola ancora nel 1643 e nel 1653. Il suo stile fu, all’inizio, piuttosto sciolto, ma dal 1643 in poi divenne più raffinato e delicato, acquisendo accuratezza e precisione senza essere asciutto, risultando a volte simile a quello di Jacques Callot o di Stefano della Bella, con i quali ebbe rapporti di amicizia. Accanto alle testimonianze per la Roma antica mostrò ben presto un grandissimo interesse per la città "moderna", divenendo uno dei precursori del vedutismo - non solo nel campo incisorio - anticipando artisti come Lievin Cruyl e Gaspar van Wittel. Bibliografia L. E. Faucheux, Catalogue raisonné de toutes les estampes qui forment l'oeuvre d'Israel Silvestre: précédé d'une notice sur sa vie (1857), n. 31.1; F. Baré, Israël Silvestre et sa famille, suivi du catalogue de son oeuvre (1885), n. 768. Etching, 1652, signed and dated on the plate at lower left Israel SIlvestre delineavit et sculpt. l'anne 1652 in Parigi. Beautiful proof, printed on contemporary laid paper, with wide margins, in perfect condition. Unusual panoramic view of the city, taken from the slopes of the Vatican hill - outside Porta Cavallegeri as indicated in the title - with a magnificent and accurate detail of the Vatican Basilica before Bernini's colonnade (1665). In the upper center, in a cartouche with the heraldic coat of arms of Louis Hesselin we find the dedication of Jean Vivot: Illustrissimo Nobillissimoque Domino. D. Hesselin Regi the Secretioribus Consilijs, Palatij, et Camerae denariorum Magistro Observantissimus Seruus J. Viuot Dicat. It is likely that Vivot, a common gentleman of the King's chamber, appointed in 1670 as keeper of antiques, commissioned Silvestre this view to dedicate it to Louis Hesselin, Seigneur de Condé French aristocrat, government official, patron and collector. Silvestre, engraver and draftsman, was born in Nancy in 1621. Between 1638 and 1641 he traveled in Italy; we have news of his presence in the Peninsula again in 1643 and 1653. His style was, at the beginning, rather loose, but from 1643 onwards became more refined and delicate, acquiring accuracy and precision without being dry, resulting sometimes similar to that of Jacques Callot or Stefano della Bella, with whom he had relationships of friendship. Alongside the evidence for ancient Rome soon showed a great interest in the city "modern", becoming one of the precursors of vedutismo - not only in the field of engraving - anticipating artists such as Lievin Cruyl and Gaspar van Wittel.

SILVESTRE Israel (Nancy, 1621 - Parigi, 1691).
Vue de Rome et du derrière de l'Eglise St Pierre prise sur les hauteurs du mont Vatican hors la ville
Acquaforte, 1646 circa, firmata in lastra in basso a sinistra. Bellissima prova, impressa su carta vergata coeva, con ampi margini, in perfetto stato di conservazione. Inusuale veduta panoramica della città, presa dal colle Vaticano. La Basilica, in primo piano, è disegnata con grande dettaglio, come pure il panorama della città, dove sono riconoscibili numerose opere architettoniche. “È insolita la scelta del punto di vista di questa veduta romano, presa dal colle Vaticano, dietro la Basilica di San Pietro. Anche in quest’opera, sempre molto particolareggiata secondo lo stile tipico dell’artista, è forte l’influsso delle incisioni di Callot, sia nel linguaggio che nella costruzione della veduta, come ci conferma la quinta in primo piano con le mura vaticane"(cfr. Barbara Jatta in "Roma Veduta" p. 168). Il Silvestre, incisore e disegnatore, nasce a Nancy nel 1621. Tra il 1638 e il 1641 viaggiò in Italia; si hanno notizie della sua presenza nella Penisola ancora nel 1643 e nel 1653. Il suo stile fu, all’inizio, piuttosto sciolto, ma dal 1643 in poi divenne più raffinato e delicato, acquisendo accuratezza e precisione senza essere asciutto, risultando a volte simile a quello di Jacques Callot o di Stefano della Bella, con i quali ebbe rapporti di amicizia. Accanto alle testimonianze per la Roma antica mostrò ben presto un grandissimo interesse per la città "moderna", divenendo uno dei precursori del vedutismo - non solo nel campo incisorio - anticipando artisti come Lievin Cruyl e Gaspar van Wittel. Bibliografia Le Blanc III, p. 508, 225; Roma Veduta, pp. 168-169, n. 27; L. E. Faucheux, Catalogue raisonné de toutes les estampes qui forment l'oeuvre d'Israel Silvestre: précédé d'une notice sur sa vie (1857), n. 29.1; F. Baré, Israël Silvestre et sa famille, suivi du catalogue de son oeuvre (1885), n. 766. Etching, circa 1646, signed in plate at lower left. Beautiful proof, printed on contemporary laid paper, with wide margins, in perfect condition. Unusual panoramic view of the city, taken from the Vatican Hill. The Basilica, in the foreground, is drawn with great detail, as well as the panorama of the city, where many architectural works are recognizable. The choice of the point of view of this Roman view, taken from the Vatican Hill, behind St. Peter's Basilica, is unusual. Also in this work, always very detailed according to the typical style of the artist, the influence of Callot's engravings is strong, both in the language and in the construction of the view, as confirmed by the foreground with the Vatican walls (see Barbara Jatta in "Roma Veduta" p. 168). Silvestre, engraver and draftsman, was born in Nancy in 1621. Between 1638 and 1641 he traveled in Italy; we have news of his presence in the Peninsula again in 1643 and 1653. His style was, at the beginning, rather loose, but from 1643 onwards became more refined and delicate, acquiring accuracy and precision without being dry, resulting sometimes similar to that of Jacques Callot or Stefano della Bella, with whom he had relationships of friendship.
