Vangelisti, an Italian engraver who spent much of his career in Paris, demonstrates a high level of technical precision in this work. The portrait captures the subject in full regalia, wearing the robes and insignia associated with his rank and status as a peer of France. His posture is formal, reflecting the aristocratic conventions of the eighteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition follows traditional portraiture standards of the era. The Duke stands beside a table, his hand resting near a plumed hat. The background features architectural elements, including a heavy curtain and a column, which provide a sense of depth and gravity to the scene. The floor is rendered with a geometric pattern, adding to the structured nature of the interior space. Vangelisti employs fine lines to delineate the textures of the velvet robes, the embroidery on the waistcoat, and the lace at the cuffs. The shading is managed through cross-hatching, which creates a subtle transition of tones across the figure and the surrounding environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print serves as a record of the visual language used to communicate power and lineage in pre-revolutionary France. The inscription at the base identifies the subject and includes a dedication, a common practice for prints of this nature intended for circulation among the nobility. The work reflects the influence of the French school of engraving, which prioritised clarity, balance, and the accurate representation of material surfaces. As a historical document, it offers insight into the sartorial choices and self-presentation of the French elite during the late eighteenth century. The print remains a clear example of the skill required to translate painted portraiture into the medium of engraving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/mater-divinae-gratiae-raphael-morghen\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMater Divinae Gratiae - Raphael Morghen — Raphael Morghen\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/archduke-leopold-ii-of-tuscany-antonio-perfetti\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eArchduke Leopold II of Tuscany - Antonio Perfetti — Antonio Perfetti\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vincenzio Vangelisti","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58644029505871,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58644036616527,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58644036649295,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58644036682063,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58644036714831,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58644036747599,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58644036780367,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58644036813135,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58644036845903,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58644036878671,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58644036911439,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58644036944207,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Marshall-Richelieu-Duke-and-Peer-of-France_Poster_CompositorV1_1788346254912.jpg?v=1788347074"},{"product_id":"charles-gravier-comte-de-vergennes-vincenzo-vangelisti","title":"Charles Gravier, Comte de Vergennes - Vincenzo Vangelisti","description":"\u003cp\u003eA formal eighteenth-century engraving by Vincenzo Vangelisti depicting the French statesman Charles Gravier, Comte de Vergennes, in his study.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Vincenzo Vangelisti depicts Charles Gravier, Comte de Vergennes, a significant French statesman who served as Minister of Foreign Affairs under Louis XVI. The portrait captures the subject in a formal setting, seated at a desk with writing implements, suggesting his role in administration and diplomacy. Vangelisti, an Italian engraver who spent much of his career in Paris, demonstrates technical precision in the rendering of textures, from the heavy folds of the drapery to the fine lace at the subject's cuffs and cravat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition follows the conventions of eighteenth-century state portraiture. The Comte de Vergennes is shown with the star of the Order of the Holy Spirit pinned to his coat, a clear indicator of his rank and status within the French court.

The composition is contained within a circular frame, a common format for devotional prints of the period. The scene features the Holy Family: Joseph leads the donkey, while Mary carries the infant Jesus. An angel appears above, guiding their path. The work is marked with the inscription 'D. Gab. in.' indicating the design was by the artist Domenico Gabbiani, while 'V. Vangel. sc.' confirms Vangelisti as the engraver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print displays a fluid, calligraphic line quality. Vangelisti employs a minimalist approach, using sparse strokes to define the figures and the surrounding space. The lack of heavy shading or cross-hatching allows the viewer to focus on the essential silhouettes of the figures. The circular border creates a self-contained narrative space, typical of eighteenth-century Italian printmaking. The Roman numeral 'XXII' at the base suggests this piece was part of a larger series or a set of illustrations, likely intended for a devotional book or a collection of religious subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVincenzo Vangelisti was a skilled Italian engraver who worked in Milan. His technical proficiency is evident in the economy of his line work. The print captures a sense of movement and urgency, appropriate for the subject matter. The paper shows signs of age, including minor foxing, which adds to the historical character of the piece. This print offers an example of the collaborative nature of print production in the eighteenth century, where designers and engravers worked in tandem to produce accessible religious imagery for a wider audience. It remains a clear example of the graphic style prevalent in Northern Italy during the late eighteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/een-man-met-hoed-op-de-rug-gezien-joannes-bemme\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eEen man met hoed op de rug gezien - Joannes Bemme — Johannes Adriaansz.
