Antonio Ligabue (1899-1965) d'apres - Cervo con cani

Antonio Ligabue (also known as Antonio Laccabue), Italian, 1899–1965. Title, year of creation and printing date of the work: Deer with dogs, etched matrix in 1951, printed and published in 1970. Technique: Original etching on paper. Edition numbered 77/99, part of the subsequent 1970 edition curated by Grafica Editoriale Roma (total edition of 99 copies numbered from 1/99 to 99/99, following the first edition of 1961 issued by Prandi). Signature and numbering: Signed on the matrix (plate) in the upper left corner ("Al Ligabue"). Numbered "77/99" in pencil in the lower left and titled "deer with dogs" in pencil at the lower margin. Wove paper edition with watermark/quality plain for fine art graphics. Private collection, with the original publisher’s label affixed to the back. Documentation: Original guarantee and cataloging label from Grafica Editoriale Roma affixed to the back of the frame, certifying the data of the etching and the edition. Conditions: Good vintage condition; there is a natural and pleasant browning/yellowing of the paper and of the matting consistent with age, which do not compromise the clarity of the etching. Context note Deer with dogs represents one of the most intense and sought-after fauna and dramatic themes of Antonio Ligabue’s graphic work. His engravings, originally conceived in the early 1950s with a vigorous and gnarly stroke, have been reissued in historical limited editions that today constitute a fundamental reference point for collectors of Italian graphics of the 20th century.
