BRUN Giovanni (Roma 1745 - 1800)
Urbis Ichnographiam A Leonardo Bufalino
Urbis Ichnographiam A Leonardo Bufalino Ligneis formis Evulgatam Servata Proportione contractam Atq. Aeri incsam Jo. Bapta. Nolli. . Pianta geometrica con elevazione, pubblicata a Roma dalla tipografia di Carlo Losi nel 1785. Si tratta di una rielaborazione, senza alcun aggiornamento, dell'importante rilievo di Leonardo Bufalini (1551), riportato in voga da Giovan Battista Nolli nel 1748. La legenda di 307 rimandi in latino è ripesa proprio dalla riduzione di Nolli, e ne dimostra la diretta derivazione. T "La pianta di Roma di Leonardo Bufalini è la prima rappresentazione coerente della città e la più importante raffigurazione ortogonale fino alla pianta grande di Giambattista Nolli (1748). Bufalini si occupò di tutte le fasi della sua realizzazione, dal rilievo all’incisione, impiegando un lungo tempo: sette anni, secondo Onofrio Panvinio, venti secondo l’editore Antonio Trevisi. La Pianta di Roma fu stampata presso il tipografo Antonio Blado il 26 maggio 1551 a Roma, con privilegio decennale della Repubblica di Venezia e la dedica a Carlo V e a papa Giulio III. Si tratta di un’opera monumentale: una xilografia in dodici fogli e quattro strisce laterali. Nessun esemplare della prima edizione è noto; se ne conoscono solo tre della seconda edizione, pubblicata sempre a Roma, dall’editore Antonio Trevisi da Lecce, due conservati alla Biblioteca Vaticana (di cui uno incompleto) e un terzo alla British Library di Londra. Sebbene la pianta sia basata su rilievi effettuati dall’autore con grande perizia, non mancano elementi di fantasia: molti monumenti antichi sono stati aggiunti, completati e ricostruiti liberamente. Del resto, è lo stesso autore a sottolineare questa ambivalenza, dichiarando di voler presentare “la città che oggi è abitata…aggiungendo la [città] antica, un tempo sovrana del mondo…” Bufalini incluse nella pianta anche un autoritratto in cui è raffigurato con in mano il compasso a due punte, mentre a sinistra sono rappresentati i suoi strumenti di lavoro, fra cui la squadra e la bussola nautica. Per una più completa trattazione degli strumenti di misurazione utilizzati e per l’accuratezza della pianta bufaliniana si rimanda ai numerosi studi pubblicati. La fonte primaria utilizzata da Bufalini è la Roma antica di Bartolomeo Marliano, inserita nella sua Urbis Romae Topographia, che ha lo stesso orientamento e la stessa precisione nei particolari. Fin dalla sua pubblicazione nel 1551, la pianta del Bufalini esercitò una notevole influenza sulle successive piante della città fino al 1748, anno in cui Giambattista Nolli ne pubblicò una copia ridotta insieme alla sua pianta grande, che si impose quale nuovo modello" (cfr. B/R p. 2372). Nel margine inferiore, la sottoscrizione dell'editore C. Losi e, nell'angolo opposto, quella dell'incisore Giovanni Brun. In basso, a sinistra, il Pantheon e il Foro di Nerva; a destra, l'arco di Giano quadrifronte. Acquaforte e bulino, impressi su carta vergata coeva, applicata su tela, più volte ripiegata. Astuccio di custodia originale, in cartonato. In ottimo stato di conservazione. Geometric plan with elevation, published in Rome by Carlo Losi in 1785 and engraved by Giovanni Brun. It is a reworking, without any updating, of the important relief by Leonardo Bufalini (1551), brought back by Giovan Battista Nolli in 1748. The key-legend of 307 references in Latin is taken from Nolli's reduction, and demonstrates its direct derivation. Leonardo Bufalini's map of Rome is the first coherent representation of the city and the most important orthogonal representation up to the large plan by Giambattista Nolli (1748). Bufalini took care of all the phases of its realization, from relief to engraving, using a long time: seven years, according to Onofrio Panvinio, twenty according to the publisher Antonio Trevisi. The Map of Rome was printed at the typographer Antonio Blado on May 26, 1551 in Rome, with the ten-year privilege of the Republic of Venice and dedicates it to Charles V and Pope Julius III. It is a monumental work: a woodcut in twelve sheets and four lateral strips. Although the map is based on reliefs made by the author, there is no lack of elements of fantasy: many ancient monuments have been added, completed and rebuilt freely. The primary source used by Bufalini is Bartolomeo Marliano's ancient Rome, inserted in his Urbis Romae Topographia, which has the same orientation and the same precision in detail. Since its publication in 1551, Bufalini's map exerted a notable influence on the subsequent plans of the city until 1748, the year in which Giambattista Nolli published a reduced copy together with his large plan, which became the new model. Below, left, the Pantheon and the Forum of Nerva; right, the four-sided Arch of Janus. Etching and engraving, printed on contemporary laid paper, applied to cloth, folded several times. Original slipcase, in hardback. In excellent state of preservation. Hulsen, p. 40, d.

BRUSTOLON Giambattista (Venezia 1716 – 1796)
Vue de la Basilique Vaticane & du Chateau S. Ange, jadis Mausolée d’Adrien
Acquaforte e bulino, firmata in lastra in basso a destra. Da un disegno del Canaletto, oggi conservato al British Museum [1858,0626.221].Magnifica prova, impressa su carta vergata coeva, con ampli margini, in perfetto stato di conservazione. Il Museo Correr possiede una raccolta di quindici fogli raffiguranti vedute di Roma incise da Brustolon su disegno del Canaletto; il frontespizio, manoscritto, reca l’iscrizione Vari Prospetti di Roma Antica e Moderna. Il catalogo della tipografia Remondini del 1817 elenca sempre 15 soggetti “romani”. Tuttavia secondo il Moschini le vedute di Roma del Brustolon sarebbero addirittura venticinque. Il nostro esemplare differisce nel titolo - in francese - rispetto a quello pubblicato nel catalogo della mostra "Roma Veduta" (Roma, 2000).Rarissima. View of the Tiber and Rome from the Basilica of St Valentino on the Via FlaminiaEtching and engraving, signed on lower right plate. After a drawing of Canaletto, today at the British Museum [1858,0626.221].Magnificent work, printed on contemporary laid paper with wide margins, in perfect condition. The Correr Museum owns a collection of fifteen sheets depicting views of Rome engraved by Brustolon after drawings of Canaletto; the front page, handwritten, bears the inscription Vari Prospetti di Roma Antica e Moderna. The 1817 catalogue of the typography of Remondini lists 15 “Roman” subjects; nonetheless, according to Meschini, Brustolon’s views of Rome are not less than twenty five. Very rare. Succi, Da Carlevarijs ai Tiepolo, p. 82; Maria Catelli Isola, in "I ponti di Roma" (1975): p. 76, n. 120; Roma Veduta (2000): pp. 181-182, n. 37 (variante).
