EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intense emotion and determination in the life of Alois Senefelder, also known as Aloysius or Aloys. The Czech poet and engraver is depicted without a sheet of paper, consumed by anger and despair that drives him to throw everything into the flames. In this desperate state, he finds an unconventional solution - writing his note on a stone. Alois Senefelder's significance lies not only in this powerful image but also in his groundbreaking invention: lithography. This technique revolutionized the world of printing by allowing for high-quality reproductions with remarkable precision. The plate from which this print is taken comes from "Scenes de la vie des hommes famous" an engraving executed with two shades by Valerio in 1843. The French School's portrayal beautifully captures Senefelder's inner turmoil and creative genius, emphasizing his determination to overcome obstacles even when faced with limited resources. It serves as a reminder that true innovation often arises from moments of frustration and adversity. As we admire this artwork from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, let us appreciate the resilience and ingenuity demonstrated by individuals like Alois Senefelder who have shaped our artistic landscape through their passion and perseverance.
