Specialist Notes
The success and diffusion in Europe of Pier Leone Ghezzi's caricature drawings can be traced back to the 1720s and 1740s, a period coinciding with the Painter's greatest dedication to the »Mondo Novo«, or to the types and figures of Roman society of his time and to the European society of the Grand Tour or diplomacy.
