Raphael Morghen is one of the greatest engravers of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and known as one of the leading engravers of Europe, receiving numerous commissions for his beautiful portraits and mythological and religious images. He was a member of Italy's most prestigeous accademies and the French Institute. Morghen was also appointed the principle Professor of the Accademy at Florence by the Grand Duke Ferdiand III (1793). From this position he influenced an entire generation of early nineteenth century engravers.
Expertise: Dr Paolo Bellini, professor at the Universita Cattolica in Milan: «The engraving is in good condition and is a II state of four, up to now never described.» Therefore the engraving should be the only existing copy.
