Astonishing set of 4 etchings by or after Salvator Rosa (1615-1673) - Italian School. 17th C or later.
Neapolitan painter best known today as an Italian Baroque painter, whose romanticized landscapes and history paintings, often set in dark and untamed nature, exerted considerable influence from the 17th century into the early 19th century. In his lifetime he was among the most famous painters, known for his flamboyant personality, and regarded as an accomplished poet, satirist, actor, musician, and printmaker, as well. He was active in NaplesRome, and Florence, where on occasion he was compelled to move between cities, as his caustic satire earned him enemies in the artistic and intellectual circles of the day. He also produced battle scenes, allegories, scenes of witchcraft, and many self portraits. 

Important painter but also etcher in a very personal style.

These four prints are from the series of Figurine, a series of etchings with lively representation of soldiers and citizens from 1653 to 1659.

PLEASE NOTE: These etchings are attributed to Salvator Rosa but there's not documentation. Otherwise they would be probably owned by a museum.
