LOGGE DEL VATICANO ETCHING BY GIOVANNI VOLPATO 18C
"Logge Del Vaticano" etching by Giovanni Volpato (1735-1803, Venician) circa late 18th C. This etching has been re-printed from the original Loggie de Rafaele nel Vaticano by Giovanni Volpato. Giovanni Volpato was born in Bassano del Grappa (then part of the Republic of Venice). He received his first training from his mother, an embroiderer, and then studied under Giovanni Antonio Remondini. In 1762 he went to Venice and worked with Joseph Wagner and Francesco Bartolozzi, engraving several plates after Piazzetta, Mariotto, Amiconi, Zuccarelli, Marco Ricci and others. He worked for some time for the Duke of Parma, until a plate of the Monument of Francesco Algarotti in Pisa brought him wider notice.
