Pier Francesco MOLA (Coldrerio 1612 - Rome 1666) "Rest in the Flight into Egypt" Original etching and engraving from a subject by Francesco Albani. Beautiful copy in a coeval edition printed with an accurate inking particularly rich in shades of gray on a portion of thin laid paper bearing an undecoded watermark, trimmed inside the frame with minimal losses, with the traces of some horizontal folds visible only on the back, overall in excellent general condition. According to Bartsch's observations, later shared and taken up by other scholars, in some details of the composition it is necessary to note the intervention of a second engraver whose execution qualities are considered of less value than those of Mola. For a comparison, the sheet of the specimen owned by the Pinacoteca Repossi di Chiari is attached. Bibliography: Bartsch “Le Peintre-Graveur” Leipzig 1854 vol.XIX page 204 n ° 4. D'Amico "Roman and Neapolitan engravers of the seventeenth century" Bologna 1978 sheet 16 and sheet 16.
