EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century print, titled "Copy after Drawing by Carlo Maratta, 1731," is a masterful work by Portuguese artist Francisco Vieira de Mattos. The artwork is a meticulous copy of an original drawing by the renowned Italian artist Carlo Maratta, created in 1731. The print is executed in red chalk on ivory laid paper, which has been carefully laid down on cream laid card. Carlo Maratta (1595-1677) was an influential Italian painter and draftsman, known for his mastery of figure drawing and his ability to convey a sense of grace and elegance in his works. In this drawing, Maratta depicts a scene of figures in a quiet, contemplative moment. The figures are rendered with great skill and sensitivity, their forms and expressions conveying a sense of depth and emotion. Francisco Vieira de Mattos (1717-1782), a Portuguese artist, was known for his skill as a draftsman and his ability to create precise and detailed copies of works by other artists. In this print, he has faithfully captured the essence of Maratta's original drawing, bringing the figures and scene to life in a new medium. The print is now part of the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is displayed as a testament to the rich artistic heritage of both Italy and Portugal. The intricacies of the red chalk on ivory laid paper, the delicate lettering on the print's margin, and the overall sense of skill and craftsmanship make this a truly remarkable work of art. Whether viewed as a study or a standalone piece, this print is a valuable addition to any collection or exhibition of 18th century art.
