Bilder Giocondo Albertolli (1742–1839) – "Studio d’Aquila Nella Sua Naturale Grandezza" –Large Engraving (c. 1790s)
Beskrivning
This striking engraving presents a highly detailed study of an eagle’s head at life-size scale, capturing the majestic intensity and powerful features of the raptor. The artist's masterful use of line and shading renders the texture of the plumage and the fierce, hooked beak with anatomical precision. Titled in Italian "Studio d’Aquila nella sua naturale grandezza", the work was intended as an academic or decorative reference, likely for use in neoclassical architectural or design contexts.
Giocondo Albertolli, a Swiss-Italian architect, engraver, and decorative artist, was renowned for his influence on neoclassical ornamentation in the late 18th century. As a professor at the Brera Academy in Milan, his works often bridged fine art and applied design, and this eagle study reflects his deep attention to natural form and proportion.
Though not hand-colored, the engraving’s tonal finesse gives the impression of depth and presence, characteristic of Albertolli's mature illustrative style.
