Pietro Santi Bartoli
Pietro Santi Bartoli is represented here through a compact but coherent body of prints centred on etched scenes of boats, battles and labour. The sheets belong to the middle of the seventeenth century, with impressions up to 1660, and place the artist within the graphic culture of that period rather than in painting or sculpture. This collection holds 33 works, almost all of them etchings, whose subjects range from fighting men in small craft and naked figures clambering aboard to crews unloading goods and animals led along a shore. Together they offer a concentrated view of narrative printmaking built around water, transport and conflict.
