Carlo Lasinio (Treviso 1759 - Pisa 1838)
The Devil is not ugly as it is painted
"Il Diavolo non è brutto quanto si dipinge
Togli quel Mostro orribile, e deforme, che tu pingesti in minaccioso aspetto;
S'asconte fatto queste vaghe forme, lo Spirito maligno, ed il folletto"
Original etching, watercoloured.
From: "Proverbi Proverbi toscani espressi in figura da Giuseppe Piattoli pittore fiorentino", Florence, N. Pagni e G. Bardi, 1788.
Small scratch on the right margin, anyway out of the drawing; diffused burnishing and foxing dot. (see photo).
Assembled in elegant passepartout.
