Madrid: Calcografia Real, 1881-1886
The first edition of Capricci was published on 6 February 1799 and put on sale the same day in a liquor and perfume shop on Calle DesengaÏo, in Madrid. The same day, in the Diario de Madrid, Goya became concerned and tried to reiterate that the Capricci were a work born from his imagination and without real references. However, worried about the public reaction and the inquisition, he decided after only 27 copies were sold to withdraw the edition from the market and so in 1803 he donated the remaining copies of the Caprices and the related plates to the King in exchange for a pension for his son. The work was subsequently reprinted by the Calcografa Nacional of Madrid in several editions from 1855 to 1937 after the first in 1799.

Francisco Goya
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker. He is considered the most important Spanish artist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His works often contained a social message, like in his "Disasters of War" series. Immensely successful in his lifetime, Goya is often referred to as both the last of the Old Masters and the first of the moderns. He was also one of the great portraitists of his time.

Antonio Canova - Etching by G.E. Morghen - Late 18th Century
By Giovanni Elia Morghen
Located in Roma, IT
Image dimensions: 19.3 x 17.5 cm.
Antonio Canova is a beautiful black and white etching on paper, realized between 1770-1810 by the Italian old master, Giovanni Elia Morghen (1721-1789), after a painting by Pellegrini, as the inscriptions on plate report.
Title on plate on the lower margin at the center.
This original print represents Antonio Canova the Italian sculptor and painter, the greatest exponent of Neoclassicism in sculpture and for this reason called "the new Phidias", in the official portrait reserved to the great personalities. Realized with full mastery of the technique, this old master's print is in excellent condition, as good as new.
Absolutely to collect!
Giovanni Elia Morghen (Florence, 1721)
Giovanni Elia Morghen came from a family of engravers in Florence. According to the testimony of Raphael, the most illustrious member of the family, his grandfather was originally from Montpellier and, after marrying a Genoese woman, he moved to Florence, where he opened a lace shop. Both their sons, Giovanni Elia and Filippo, specialized in chalcographic art: Giovanni was predominantly a draftsman, whilst Filippo mastered the art of carving.
In Florence, Giovanni Elia Morghen was a pupil of Giovan Domenico Ferretti, and he probably also worked at the workshop of Carlo Bartolomeo Gregori. Indeed, he, with the other artists of the school, made 26 of the engravings present in the second Florentine edition (1766) of the Salon paintings at the palace of Florence. He then moved to Naples with his brother. From 1756, he began participating in the creation of the tables of the Antiquities of Herculaneum, a work of several volumes published in Naples with various interruptions in the late nineteenth century. In 1767, he published six tables with representations of the temples of Paestum, taken from drawings by Antonio Joli...
