SOARES (Ernesto). A COLECÇÃO Calcográfica da Universidade do Porto: I Bartolozzi. Lisboa. 1952. - SOARES (Ernesto) A COLECÇÃO Calcográfica da Universidade do Porto: I Bartolozzi . Lisboa: Instituto de Alta Cultura, 1952. 164, [4] pp.: il.; 280 mm. Edited by the Institute for Higher Culture, this volume inaugurates the catalog and study of the chalcographic collection of the University of Porto, dedicated to Francesco Bartolozzi (Florence, 1725; Lisbon, 1815), a Florentine engraver who worked in London for decades, where he developed and disseminated the stippling technique, and who settled in Portugal in 1802 at the invitation of the Prince Regent. Bartolozzi's influence on Portuguese engraving was decisive, having trained a generation of Portuguese disciples who consolidated chalcographic practice in Portugal at the turn of the 19th century. The volume records and studies the proofs of the Porto collection, constituting an irreplaceable reference tool for the study of Portuguese engraving of this period.
