Giovanni Battista Cipriani, Face of Youth, 1800s, Pencil & Red Chalk

About This Piece

Beautiful drawing in pencil and red chalk representing the face of a melancholic young man

Giovanni Battista Cipriani RA (1727 - December 14, 1785) was an Italian painter and engraver, who lived in England from 1755.

He studied first with Ignatius Hugford, a Florentine artist of English origin, and then with Anton Domenico Gabbiani. He spent the years 1750-53 in Rome, where he met the architect, Sir William Chambers, and the sculptor, Joseph Wilton, whom he accompanied to England in August 1755.

He painted part of a ceiling at Buckingham House, and a room with poetic subjects at Standlynch in Wiltshire. He was much employed by publishers, for whom he made pen and ink drawings, sometimes colored. His friend Francesco Bartolozzi engraved most of them. Cipriani was a founding member (1768) of the Royal Academy, whose diploma he designed.

Some of his drawings are on display in the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
