Bilder Cornelis Bloemaert II (1603–1692) after Giovanni Francesco Romanelli – Antique Engraving – Vulcan at the Forge (1691)
Beskrivning
This detailed copperplate engraving by Cornelis Bloemaert II is based on an original design by Giovanni Francesco Romanelli. It depicts the Roman god Vulcan at his forge, surrounded by tools of metallurgy and celestial observers, symbolizing divine craftsmanship and strength. The half-moon composition and dramatic use of light and shadow evoke the grandeur of Baroque ceiling decorations.
The print originates from a series of engravings after lunettes and ceiling frescoes produced in Italy during the 17th century. It was published by Giovanni Giacomo De Rossi in Rome in 1691, as part of a broader effort to document and disseminate key Baroque artworks across Europe.
Cornelis Bloemaert II was a Dutch engraver from Utrecht, renowned for his precise and refined technique. Trained by his father, Abraham Bloemaert, and later influenced by Italian masters in Rome, he became one of the leading engravers of the 17th century. His work played a significant role in disseminating the compositions of major Baroque artists across Europe.
