EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back in time to witness a scene of grandeur and astonishment. The focal point is an elderly King, seated upon his majestic throne, surrounded by his loyal attendants. The architectural setting adds to the regal atmosphere, with its balustraded loggia and neo-classical elements. However, what truly captures our attention is the youth pouring from a vase before them all. Their faces reflect sheer amazement and disbelief at this extraordinary spectacle unfolding before their eyes. It reminds us of the biblical story of Benjamin emptying wool in front of Pharaoh. The artist behind this remarkable work is Pietro da Cortona (Berrettini), known for his mastery in capturing intricate details through pen & ink with chalk, wash & gouache on paper. With dimensions measuring 16x20.4 cm, every stroke showcases Cortona's skillful technique. This print belongs to The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth House and has been reproduced here with permission from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees. Its inclusion in Bridgeman Images' collection allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate the beauty and historical significance of this baroque masterpiece. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into a world where kings reign supreme and miracles unfold before our very eyes. It serves as a reminder that even within the confines of art prints, history comes alive through the strokes of talented artists like Pietro da Cortona.
