Francesco Bartolozzi

Japanese: バルトロッツィ（英語表記）Francesco Bartolozzi

1727‐1815
Italian painter and printmaker. After training in Rome and Venice, he went to London in 1764 and spent the majority of his life working there. From 1773 he produced around 700 reproduction prints in the pointier technique, which uses density to create shadows and light, and achieved great success. The effect of his work is one that combines the elegance of the Rococo style with the elegance of neoclassicism. His sepia and color printing techniques are particularly suited to reproducing sketches, and this technique was popularized throughout Europe by his 50 disciples. [Kogat Reiko]

1727‐1815
イタリアの画家，版画家。ローマ，ベネチアで修業の後，1764年ロンドンに行き，生涯の大部分を同地で制作。73年から点の粗密により陰影を表すポアンティエ(版画)で約700点の複製版画を制作，絶大な成功をおさめた。その表現効果はロココ的な優婉さと新古典的な典雅さを併せもつ。セピア刷りや色刷りによりことに素描の複製に適し，この技法は50人の弟子たちによってヨーロッパ各国に普及した。【小勝礼子】
