Hardcover. Condition: Fine. A fine, rich impression and a very fine example, with ample margins and only some marginal blemishes. This is a reversed copy of an engraving by Agostino Veneziano (1490-1540), published in 1523, of five figures from Michelangelo's cartoon for the Battle of Cascina, a grouping sometimes referred to as "the bathers". The drummers seen in the distance, which Vasari tells us appeared in Michelangelo's original cartoon, show that Veneziano was either familiar with Michelangelo's original -now lost- or with early copies made from it. "The cartoon created by Michelangelo between 1504 and 1505 for the fresco that, together with Leonardo's Battle of Anghiari, was supposed to decorate the Hall of the Great Council (Salone dei Cinquecento) in the Palazzo della Signoria (Palazzo Vecchio) in Florence, was dismembered and dispersed within a decade of its completion. "Prepared and drawn in the great hall of the Hospital of Sant'Onofrio, the cartoon was displayed for some time in the Palazzo della Signoria, in what was to have been its final location, and from there it was first taken to the Sala del Papa at Santa Maria Novella, thenbefore 1515to the family palace on Via Larga, 'in the great hall above' (Vasari, Michelangelo, ed. 1962, ii, p. 261). Several artists were able to access it during this period and, even after its dismemberment, to copy it. "The most complete visual record of the lost composition is the grisaille by Bastiano (called Aristotile) da Sangallo, preserved in Norfolk and identifiable as the "chiaroscuro oil painting" painted by Bastiano in 1542 "at the persuasion of Giorgio Vasari, his close friend."(Vasari, ed. 1966-1987, v, 1984, p. 393). "The cartoon's popularity through prints, however, is limited to single figures or groups of figures and can be traced, as far as signed or clearly attributed works are concerned, to the work of two engravers: Marcantonio Raimondi for the foreground of the leftmost part of the composition (a group often referred to as the "climbers", and Agostino Veneziano for the standing soldier dressing and the righthand part of the composition (the group referred to as the "bathers"). "It is now widely believed that Raimondi personally examined the original during his journey from Bologna to Rome in early 1509 The circumstances under which Agostino Veneziano learned about Michelangelo's model are still unclear. His first engraving with a subject from the Battle of Cascina is from 1517, shortly after his arrival in Rome in 1516 (Minonzio, 1990). It is possible, as Konrad Oberhuber suggested (in Raffaello in Vaticano, 1984, p. 333), that a complete drawing of all the bathers by Raimondi was available in his workshop, where Agostino worked, but it is more likely that he encountered the work during his Florentine period (1515-1516), when Veneziano engraved for Andrea del Sarto and Bandinelli, the latter of whom, according to Vasari, 'having a forged key' had regular access to Michelangelo's original cartoon "This successful print is the subject of a curious critical history. As highlighted in the bibliography section (below), it has been sometimes treated as the work of Michele Lucchese, at times as the work of an anonymous artist close to Agostino Veneziano, whose monogram was added (as has been laboriously reconstructed after examining many examples) only towards the end of the sixteenth century, after the edition published by Pietro de' Nobili "The first state, as often with the works of Michele Lucchese (ALBERTI, 2014-2015), has no inscriptions; the second state [the one offered here] refers to Michelangelo as inventor and has Michele Lucchese's privilege (".M.L. cum privilegio"); the third state shows that the plate passed to the publisher Pietro de' Nobili in the 1580s. Subsequently, the Lucchese mark and de' Nobili's address were erased, and Veneziano's false date and monogram were added. A large number of the copies found belong to the late eighteenth-century edition edited by Carlo Losi, who engraved his name on the matrix in 1773 (and whose sales catalog still lists it in 1790, Index, 1790, p. 8, no. 7), but which, very curiously, has been systematically erased from the paper on the prints. Subsequently, all trace of the plate was lost: It is not difficult to imagine that, given the obscene subject matter, it may have been among the coppers sent to be melted down in the Tivoli copperworks by order of Leo XII, Pope from 1823 to 1829 (we have not conducted any archival research in this regard)."(Alberti, Rovetta, and Salsi, "D'après Michelangelo"(2015), p. 22 ff., and catalogue number 12.). SECOND STATE (of 5). With "Michaelan/gelus. Buona/rotus. Inuentor" on the plaque at center and ".M.L./cum priuile-/gio." on the slab at lower right.
