Giacomo Barri After Paolo Veronese

The Adoration Of The Shepherds

A fine etching by Giacomo Barri (1636-1690) after a work by Paolo Veronese (1528-1588). It depicts the adoration of the shepherds at the birth of Christ.

The etching was created in 1667 and this 19th-century version is most probably a restrike using the original plate.

Giacomo Barri was a leading Italian printmaker from the Baroque period. He hailed from Venice and is best known for his book, Viaggio pittoresco d'Italia, which provides descriptions of old master paintings across various Italian cities.

The etching is housed within a good later frame.

Conservation & History

We care profoundly about our role as custodians and every piece in the collection has been assessed by our conservator. When required, we undertake professional restoration carefully using reversible techniques and adopt a light touch to retain the aged charm of each work. We also often restore frames rather than replace them as many are original and selected by the artists themselves.
