A VG tightly bound copy which is slightly rubbed on extreme corner tips, of this scarce Galagnani edition (COPAC lists only 3 copies). Ex Libris J.M. Nosworthy, writer and scholar, with his neat dated pencil signature to blank front endpaper. Salvator Rosa (1615-1673) was an Italian Baroque painter, poet, and printmaker, who was active in Naples, Rome, and Florence. As a painter, he is best known as "unorthodox and extravagant" as well as being a "perpetual rebel" and a proto-Romantic. Rosa was one of the least conventional artists of 17th-century Italy, and was adopted as a hero by painters of the Romantic movement in the later 18th and early 19th centuries. He was mainly a painter of landscapes, but the range of his subject matter was unusually wide and included portraits and allegories. He also depicted scenes of witchcraft, influenced by Northern prints. Rosa's training took place in Naples, where he was born, and the main influences on his early work were Ribera and Aniello Falcone, a painter best known for his battle scenes. Following visits to Rome in the later 1630s Rosa worked in Florence and its neighbourhood (1640-9), before returning to Rome, where he eventually died. His scenes of witchcraft reveal his interest in the irrational and less conventional intellectual preoccupations of his age. These also formed the background to his etchings, and to the satires which he wrote. Sydney, Lady Morgan (née Owenson; 1776? 1859), was an Irish novelist. In her capacities as poet, novelist, and travel writer with a sharp eye for culture and politics, Sydney Owenson, Lady Morgan spoke for the early movement of Irish nationalism. She also wrote plays and verse.…
