Interessante carteggio di Michelangelo Billia indirizzato allo scrittore Odoardo Campa. Studioso di filosofia Billia fondò la rivista filosofica Nuovo Risorgimento (1891), fu Arconte del Sillogo Filellenico per la Confederazione orientale. Polemista violento, sostenne con tenacia il rosminianesimo, specialmente contro i neotomisti.
Acquaforte misure: mm 188 × 142 Pittore ed incisore allievo di Guido Reni e di Giovanni Andrea Sirani dai quali spesso ha desunto i soggetti delle sue incisioni. Più noto come incisore che come pittore segue i modi classicisti del maestro Guido Reni adottando un segno chiaro e sciolto; è oggi considerato uno dei protagonisti del panorama grafico bolognese di pieno Seicento; a lui vengono ricondotte venticinque lastre in tutto secondo Bartsch nelle quali si evince qualche incertezza nelle morsure. In questo foglio, semi nascosto da un drappo tenuto alzato da un tronco di un albero, viene rappresentato il giovane Ercole nudo. Egli è sdraiato, colto in una posa plastica nella sua culla; i riccioli incorniciano il volto e lo sguardo e la bocca aperta attirano l'attenzione dello spettatore sul serpente. L'animale si annoda sul braccio destro ma Ercole con forza afferra la sua testa e tenta di strangolarlo, nel frattempo un altro serpente che sta salendo dalla culla è stretto nella morsa della mano sinistra. Questa incisione, con altre diciotto di simile soggetto allegorico incise anche da Girolamo Scarsello, venne concepita per illustrare un volumetto dedicato al Machese Filippo Guastavillani, una di queste stampe reca la data 1641. Impressione eccellente, fortemente inchiostrata nello stato unico. Foglio rifilato lungo l’impronta del rame, carta ingiallita. Piccoli fori sulla spalla sinistra di Ercole. L’incisione si presenta applicata in antico su una pagina di album (databile al secolo XVIII). Bibliografia: Bartsch, “Le Peintre Graveur”, vol. 19, pag. 178, n 24.
Acquaforte misure: mm 267 x 376 Architetto e pittore italiano. Iniziò studiando privatamente pittura con Vespasiano Bignami e Roberto Fontana per poi, nel 1909, laurearsi al Politecnico di Milano in ingegneria. Dal 1904 progettò l'ospedale di Luino, quindi presso il Cimitero Monumentale di Milano e sempre a Milano progetta la chiesa del Sacro Cuore ai Cappuccini in viale Piave. Considerato uno dei più importanti architetti milanesi del Novecento fu anche storico dell'architettura e pubblicista, partecipò a diverse Biennali. Viene ricordato soprattutto per il complesso progetto della sede del palazzo della Borsa a Milano, conosciuto come Palazzo Mezzanotte terminato nel 1931 è una sintesi dell'architettura moderna. Durante la Prima Guerra Mondiale, a cui partecipò come ufficiale del genio, conobbe e strinse amicizia con Giò Ponti il quale divenne suo allievo per le tecniche incisorie e suo collaboratore nella decorazione interna di molti progetti. Presso il Castello Sforzesco di Milano (Raccolta Bertarelli) si conserva la serie completa di incisioni realizzate fino al 1939, fantasie architettoniche o vedute cittadine, eseguite con l'acquaforte, la cera molle o l'acquatinta, oggi certamente rare poiché parte della tiratura andò perduta con i bombardamento del suo studio. L'ecclettismo di Mezzanotte si inserisce in quella schiera di architetti come Luca Beltrami e Camillo Boito, che consideravano l'arte come il risultato di più attività creative. In questa stampa viene rappresentato l'abside della Basilica di San Lorenzo a Milano vista dal parco della Basiliche. La scena è spoglia, la neve copre i tetti e il suolo, si percepisce un senso di straniamento, di silenzio ovattato. Il taglio diagonale conduce l'attenzione dello spettatore verso la massa scura della cupola ottagonale sormontata da una lanterna realizzata nella seconda metà del XVI secolo su progetto di Martino Bassi. Si vedono tre delle quattro torri campanarie che avevano la funzione di contenimento del carico della cupola e la serie di cappelle che si ramificano dal corpo centrale. In primo piano sulla sinistra, due donne rompono il silenzio creato dalla neve. Il tratto netto e incisivo accentua in chiaroscuro e accende il candore della coltre bianca. La scena è costruita impiegando un tratteggio corto e irregolare, le superfici appaiono vibranti, si percepisce il senso della luce. Il cielo è privo di un qualsiasi segno grazie anche ad un'accurate pulizia dell'inchiostro in fase di stampa. Presso la Raccolta Bertarelli si conserva un'altra lastra molto simile per soggetto ma di formato differente (Mod 49-11). Impressione eccellente, dai neri intensi impressa su carta avorio compatta. Ottimo stato di conservazione eccetto qualche piega nella carta. Ampi margini oltre la battuta del rame. Al verso etichetta dell'archivio Sandro Angelini n. 645272. Oltre l'inciso nel margine inferiore a matita: 3/35 e firma; con una grafia moderna è stato aggiunto: arch Paolo Mezzanotte - Milano. Bibliografia: P.
