EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Edouard Dagoty, After 1783," is an exquisite color mezzotint by the Italian artist Carlo Lasinio. The work, which dates back to the 18th century, showcases the masterful technique of mezzotint, a method of printmaking that involves using a roulette to create a textured surface, which is then burnished to create tones. The subject of the portrait is Edouard Dagoty, also known as Pierre Edouard Gautier Dagoty. He was a French diplomat and writer, who served as the French ambassador to the Netherlands from 1782 to 1785. The portrait depicts Dagoty as a distinguished gentleman, dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, with a serious yet thoughtful expression on his face. The portrait was created after Dagoty's tenure in the Netherlands, and it is believed that the original portrait was painted by the Dutch painter Johann Ernst Heinsius or his son, Johann Julius Heinsius. Lasinio's mezzotint is an accurate and detailed depiction of the original painting, with the artist skillfully capturing the subtle textures and tonal variations of the original work. The print is on ivory laid paper and features traces of scraping, which adds to the overall texture and visual appeal of the work. The lettering on the print reads "Carlo Lasinio fecit," indicating that the print was created by Lasinio. This beautiful and historic work is now part of the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is displayed as part of their impressive prints and drawings collection. The portrait of Edouard Dagoty is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 18th century and the enduring artistry of Carlo Lasinio.
