Est: €4,000 - €4,500
PIETRO PAOLETTI (Belluno, 1801-1847). Didactic souvenir of the Grand Tour. Book with plaster casts. Measurements: 27 x 17 x 5 cm. Collection of "Grand Tour" plaster medallions housed in three volumes of fake book boxes. Each volume includes two compartments with a variety of plaster casts of cameos, sculptures and engraved monuments. With catalog of contents hand inscribed on the inside of the front and back covers. The Paoletti firm was advertised in Count Hawks' guidebook Le Grice Walks Through the Studii of the Sculptors at Rome (1841) as follows: Paoletti begs to inform the public that he has prepared a collection of prints (Impronte in Scajola) of many of the works in sculpture executed by illustrious artists .... Although the Impronte are no more than miniature copies; nevertheless, they exhibit all the fidelity and beauty of the original and convey to the eye a better idea of the sculpted works of art than the more finished engravings. The Paoletti's, whose studio was located in Rome's Piazza di Spagna until 1847, enjoyed a stellar reputation and counted among their clients Catherine the Great of Russia and Ferdinand III, grand duke of Tuscany. The firm continued to operate after Pietro's death until at least 1865. Examples of Paoletti molds are preserved in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, Connecticut.

Est: €5,000 - €7,000
Attribuito a Pietro Paoletti (Belluno 1801 - 1847) Nudo maschile Olio su carta 55,5 x 41 cm Pietro Paoletti fu allievo di Giovanni Demin, pittore neoclassico, alla cui scuola rimase per circa otto anni. Era cugino di Ippolito Caffi, altro elemento del panorama artistico bellunese che raggiunse rinomanza nazionale e internazionale. Nel 1826 ricevette la prima commissione in ambito bellunese, poiché il nobile Giovanni Antonio de Manzoni lo chiamò per decorare, con scene tratte dall’Orlando furioso, la sua villa Crotta, ad Agordo. L’attività romana fu piuttosto intensa e importante, tanto che qualche anno dopo Paoletti ricevette numerose commissioni in ogni parte d’Italia. Tra questi, vanno ricordati gli interventi più importanti a Belluno, Padova, Montecassino e Rieti. Attributed to Pietro Paoletti (Belluno 1801 - 1847) Male nude Oil on paper 55,5 x 41 cm
