Descrizione

This contribution identifies the brescian artist Andrea torresani (c. 1695-1728) as the inventor of an etching by bartolomeo Gazalis preserved in the Gabinetto delle Stampe Angelo Davoli of the biblioteca Panizzi in Reggio Emilia. the etching is interesting both for its subject, as it is one of the oldest Italian depictions of the theatrical character of Pierrot, and in reference to torresani’s artistic production. In fact, it allows us to add a new work to the catalogue of an artist who was highly esteemed during his lifetime but of whom we know little today: in particular it is a work referable to his fortunate Milanese period, circumscribable between the end of the 1710s and the first years of the following decade. the analysis of the rediscovered Pierrot becomes an opportunity to bring order to torresani’s artistic career and to try to give a more precise chronological collocation to some of the artist’s drawings preserved in the Drawings department of the Castello Sforzesco in Milan and at the Accademia Carrara in bergamo.
