16 x 21 cm. Original full coloured lithograph. Excellent condition. Alessandro Sanquirico (1777 1849), (1777 1849) Italian artist, designer, and machinist. In 1806, after a neoclassical apprenticeship, Sanquirico began to work regularly at Milan's La Scala. As sole designer from 1817to1832, he prepared hundreds of settings for opera and dance and conceived the redecoration of the theatre's interior (1829 30), including its magnificent chandelier. His name is particularly linked with the romantic tradition of opera (Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti, Pacini) and the dramatic ballets of Taglioni and Vigan�. The chief characteristics of his style were asymmetrical architectural design, historical verisimilitude, suggestive lighting and a lively sense of colour, 'pavilions' with richly decorated curtains, drapes, friezes, and mouldings, and spacious cellars or subterranean spaces with suggestively lit vaulted ceilings. Sanquirico also designed gardens, funerals, and Ferdinando I's coronation ceremony.
