$a No plate is signed. But the tipped-in advertisement, 'To The Artists And Lovers Of The Fine Arts From John Dall'Armi', states, 'Signor Labruzzi ... To this Work for the space of two years he totally devoted himself; and ... traced ... all the Heads, and on these traces with his own hands incised the contours by the application of aqua fortis, so as to make them appear as done with crayons. All the plates have been chisled under his own inspection by an expert engraver ... Labruzzi ... gave it the last touch.' This advertisement also states that the text of the notes and explanations was by Filippo Aurelio Visconti. |

$a The engraved title-plate carries the date of 1844. But a tipped-in publisher's advertisement ('To The Artists And Lovers Of The Fine Arts From John Dall'Armi') makes clear that the work was issued serially by subscription. The work shows and describes nine frescoes painted in the 15th century in the chapel of St. Catherine in the basilica of Saint Clement, Rome. They were attributed to Masaccio by Vasari, but are now generally regarded as by Masolino. There is one unnumbered plate, showing a general view of the chapel, followed by nine principal plates numbered Q.I-IX, showing I. 'Disputa di S. Caterina avanti l'Imperatore ...'; II. 'Sta. Caterina esposta al martirio delle ruote ...'; III. 'Decollazione di S. Caterina, e sepolcro della medesima sul monte Sinai'; IV. 'Morte di un Santo'; V. 'Diluvio avvenuto in Alessandria ...'; VI. 'S. Caterina predica contro l'idolatria ...'; VII. 'S. Caterina converte alla fede Cristiana l'Imperatrice ...'; VIII. 'Santa Caterina bambina in culla'; IX. 'Nono ed ultimo quadro laterale'. Each of the nine principal plates is followed by from one to four numbered plates showing heads and other details. The engraved title-plate includes a vignette self-portrait of Masaccio. The nine main plates are outline engravings; the accompanying, detailed plates use carefully modulated cross-hatching. The publisher's advertisement states that a 'very few Exemplars' were printed on vellum. |
