EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting, titled "Citta Vecchia (Mdina)" and dated 22nd June 1890, captures the timeless beauty of the ancient city of Mdina in Malta. The artist, Robert Powell, masterfully portrays the picturesque scene of the fortified city, with its winding streets, red-tiled roofs, and imposing bastions. At the center of the painting, the distinguished figure of a chief or baron is depicted, clad in formal attire and wearing a badge of office on his chest. He turns his head towards the viewer, his gaze steady and commanding. The painting is a testament to the artistic prowess of Robert Powell, who expertly employs the watercolor medium to bring out the intricate details of the city and the textures of the fabric and stone. The vibrant colors and bold brushstrokes create a sense of depth and dimension, immersing the viewer in the scene. The painting's title, "Citta Vecchia (Mdina)", refers to the old city of Mdina, which is renowned for its rich history and cultural significance. Founded by the Phoenicians in 700 BC, Mdina has been influenced by various civilizations throughout history, including the Romans, Arabs, Normans, and the Knights of St. John. The city's unique architecture and cultural heritage make it a popular tourist destination and a source of inspiration for artists and photographers. This watercolor painting is a rare and valuable piece of art history, offering a glimpse into the past and a testament to the artistic talent of Robert Powell. It is a must-have for any art collector or enthusiast, and a beautiful addition to any home or office decor.
