Please see photos and ask questions, if any, before purchasing. Bartolomeo Pinelli (1781 - 1835) was an Italian illustrator and engraver. Pinelli's illustrations often depicted the costumes of the Italian people, canonical epic poems and other subjects. Rome, both the ancient city as well as the one of Pinelli's time, is the most frequent setting of his work. He depicted both its inhabitants and its monuments. Starting in 1807, he produced an album of 36 watercolors, entitled Scene e Costumi di Roma e del Lazio (Scenes and Costumes from Rome and the Lazio). His first series of engravings, begun in 1809, was entitled Raccolta di cinquanta costumi pittoreschi incisi all'acquaforte (Collection of 50 picturesque costumes engraved with acquaforte). In 1816 he finished the illustrations for his work La Storia Romana (Italian: Roman History) and, in 1821, those for the work dell'istoria Greca. He held in high regard the traditions and religions of ancient Greece and Rome, and completed a series of engravings of the pantheon of classical gods. The artistic tradition of exaltation of a class beyond the law finds roots in the baroque era artist Salvatore Rosa. Pinelli published a matching sister volume on Roman history (Raccolta di n. 100 soggetti li più rimarchevoli dell'Istoria romana) later that same year. First Edition, Complete 100 Plates.
