Compositions artistiques

Bigioli, Filippo, 1798-1878, artist, Wenzel, Giovanni, active 1791, illustrator, Gentilucci, Romualdo, publisher · 1843 · Roma : Chez Romuald Gentilucci · 17 pictures

A Roman publication of 1843 by Romualdo Gentilucci, with engravings after Filippo Bigioli and Giovanni Wenzel, made as a set of devotional prints of saints for a Catholic audience. The plates are monochrome engravings, each with a dated month heading and a caption naming a saint in a single scene. For designers, they show restrained neoclassical staging: figures in draped robes set against architectural backdrops, with clear gesture and grouping.
