We present to you an incograph showing a plan of Warsaw by Rizzi Zannoni.
Rizzi Zannoni is a fame in his own right. A versatile artist and scientist, astronomer, mathematician and cartographer. Geographer of the Republic of Venice and hydrographer of the Paris Navy. His maps were famous for their precision and magnificent ornamentation, so they were printed in various atlases. His greatest work is considered to be the compilation of the first large-scale map of Poland - the Carte de Pologne of 1772, published on 24 cards, which was helped by Polish artillery captain Franciszek Czaki, Stanislaw August's court mathematician Jan Frederick Endersch and Prince Jozef Jablonowski, founder of the excellent Jablonowski Scientific Society (the whole event was held at his expense).
Map surrounded by engravings of Warsaw palaces.
Original publication date: 1772
Inkography 390 x 580 mm, framed in an antique frame.
Inkography (modern copy) has occupied an important place in the vast pantheon of contemporary printmaking for more than a decade, still remaining an innovative and attractive investment. In addition to its investment, interior and aesthetic qualities, the collector dimension of inkography is a new opening in the design space and the art market.
So why graphics? Inkography makes it possible to purchase originally signed graphics by the most outstanding Polish artists at attractive prices. Recently, we have seen an increase in interest in prints at auctions and in galleries. Inkography is becoming an increasingly frequent choice of investors and designers.
