Giovanni Benedetto CASTIGLIONE, detto il Grechetto. 1609-1664 Un uomo barbuto che indossa un berretto che guarda in basso a destra. 1645-1650 ca. Acquaforte. Foglio: 184x162 mm. Inciso: 178x147 mm. Firmato sulla lastra in alto a sinistra: CASTIGLIONE / GENOVESE. Carta vergellata, traccia di filigrana. Bell’esemplare. Questa acquaforte rappresenta il motivo di una testa orientale esotica a cui Castiglione tornò più volte negli anni Quaranta del Seicento. Forse in parte ispirate dai commercianti stranieri che frequentavano la città portuale di Genova, queste teste di personaggi derivano anche dalle stampe di Rembrandt e Jan Lievens. Dalla serie delle Grandi teste con copricapi orientali.Bartsch XXI, S. 27, Nr. 50; Bellini/d'Amico, Bd. VI, Nr. 43; The Met Fifth Avenue, Accession Number: 17.50.17-61.
Condition Report
A bearded man wearing a cap looking down to the right.1645-1650 ca. Etching. Dimensions sheet: 184x162 mm. Plate: 178x147 mm. Signed on the top left plate: CASTIGLIONE / GENOVESE. Laid paper, trace of watermark. Good specimen. This etching represents the motif of an exotic oriental head that Castiglione returned to many times in the 1640s. Perhaps partly inspired by the foreign traders who frequented the port city of Genoa, these character heads also stem back to the prints of Rembrandt and Jan Lievens. Castiglione produced two series of these exotic types, both large and small, in which he demonstrated his inventiveness and ability to produce a rich chiaroscuro of dramatic lighting with nothing more than an etcher’s needle. From the series 'Heads in Oriental Headdress'Bartsch XXI, S. 27, Nr. 50; Bellini/d'Amico, Bd. VI, Nr. 43; The Met Fifth Avenue, Accession Number: 17.50.17-61.
