Original etching - Plate 63 of the "Los caprichos" series - V edition on XII. Bibliography: Harris 98; Delteil 100. Provenance Vianzone, Turin. Dimensions in mm: 187 x 122 The Capricci represent the most famous series of engravings by the Spanish master: 80 plates including etchings and aquatints of large format, made in 1799. These are plates that give rise to imaginative, pungent and grotesque representations that are affected, on a stylistic level, by an Italian influence due to the long stay in Rome in 1770. The main theme is the description of the evils of the world, from deceptions to prejudices, up to the lies of the Spanish society of the years in which Goya himself lived, in a heated controversy towards the clergy and the nobility. At the time of their publication, the drawings caused a sensation, precisely due to the fact that numerous notables of the time were recognized in them. So much was the clamor that even the Holy Inquisition had to intervene, to avoid the publication of those prints deemed excessive and blasphemous. This was probably what determined the poor success of I Capricci, so that the painter was forced to sell the entire first print run to King Charles IV, in exchange for a scholarship for his son Javier. The success of the series increased with the second edition of 1855, until it became one of the most important and celebrated graphic works in the history of art.

Screen printing and collage on paper by Lucio Del Pezzo, limited edition of only 20 copies. In excellent condition. Lucio Del Pezzo (Naples 1933 - Milan 2020) was an Italian artist, painter and sculptor. He is one of the founders of “Gruppo 58”, which has always been very close to other avant-gardes, such as Enrico Baj's Nuclear Movement, the Spoor Movement of Monaco, Phases of Paris and Boa of Buenos Aires. His works from the period 1958-1960 featured assemblages of various objects, including fragments of popular prints and images. In 1960 he moved to Paris, then to Milan, where several monographic exhibitions have been dedicated to him. The first one dates back to 1974. Starting from 1962 Del Pezzo has created his typical repertoire of "paintings" or "sculptures", made of monochrome geometric panels, on which shelves or hollowed out concavities are inserted, which support regular geometric objects, sometimes very colorful. Lucio del Pezzo's production focuses on the use of common objects that, enriched with different materials, cross the boundary between painting and sculpture. His style is also characterized by a rapprochement with metaphysical atmospheres, while the playful sense and irony behind each work is inspired by the Dadaist movement.
