EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Allegory of Liberty" painting by Felice Guascone, dating back to 1797. The artwork is housed in the Museo del Risorgimento e Istituto Mazziniano in Genoa, Italy. In this allegorical masterpiece, we witness a vibrant scene where people joyfully dance around the Tree of Liberty while others carry treasures from the Monasteries. The painting depicts a time when nobles and spies conspired against liberty, with one figure cleverly disguised as an Englishman hiding a demon under his coat. However, their plans are not unnoticed as a small dog symbolizing fidelity barks at the hidden threat. An old wing representing time and a woman breastfeeding two children symbolize fraternity among peoples. Felice Guascone's brushstrokes beautifully capture the essence of freedom and hope through various symbols such as angels, flags, and music. This piece transports viewers to 18th-century France during a moral party celebrating human virtue. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures this extraordinary artwork in her print without compromising its intricate details or emotional impact. Her lens allows us to appreciate every brushstroke and color choice made by Guascone over two centuries ago. This print serves as both an homage to Italian artistry and an invitation for viewers to reflect on the timeless values represented within this remarkable allegory of liberty.
