Antique print titled 'Antiquus dierum sedit, S. Francisca Romana'. Scarce plate showing the 'Ancient of Days' i.e. God from the bible book of Daniel. Below Frances of Rome, Obl.S.B., (Italian: Santa Francesca Romana). After one of the frescoes Domenico Zampieri painted for the Abbey of Grottaferrata (near Rome). This Abbey was founded by St. Nilus of Rossano and St.Bartolomeus in 1004. The frescoes were commissioned from Domenichino (Domenico Zampieri) by Cardinal Odoardo Farnese; the titular Abbot of this Abbey. This print originates from 'Picturae Dominici Zampierii, vulgo Domenichino, quae extant in sacello sacrae aedi Cryptoferratensi adjuncto tabulis aeneis incisae' published 1762.
Artists and Engravers: Made by 'Carol Gregory' after 'Domenico Zampieri'. Domenico Zampieri, known as Domenichino for his shortness (October 21, 1581, April 6, 1641), was an Italian Baroque painter of the Bolognese or Carracci School of painters.
Condition: Good, given age. Some staining in the margins near the edges. A few minor spots. Two tiny worm holes upper right margin, not affecting image. Some minor crinkles. General age-related toning and/or occasional minor defects from handling. Please study image carefully.
Antique prints have long been appreciated for both their aesthetic and investment value. They were the product of engraved, etched or lithographed plates. These plates were handmade out of wood or metal, which required an incredible level of skill, patience and craftsmanship. Whether you have a house with Victorian furniture or more contemporary decor an old engraving can enhance your living space. We offer a wide range of authentic antique prints for any budget.
