Woman on a Forest Pathway, Carrying a Basket on Her Head
Monotype in colors, 435 x 325 mm., edition 1.
Fine impression in a full range of subtle colors on white wove paper with full margins, signed in pencil. Mariani was primarily a painter, but produced a large body of graphic work, all of it, apparently, in monotype. Monotype (drawing or painting an image on a plate and taking a single impression of it on paper) would seem to be the most elementary of print techniques, yet the earliest known are those of Castiglione in the seventeenth century and the method was not widely practiced until the mid-nineteenth century. It has more recently been seriously studied, but The Painterly Print contains no mention at all of Mariani. Various Italian websites devoted to him laud his painting but make no mention of his monotypes. Framed.
