EDITORS COMMENTS
"Zoomorphism - Caricature against Mary Antoinette - Departed from the Harpy or amphibious monster of Cadiz to be taken to the king and the royal family of Spain: This animal was taken on the shores of Lake Fagua - 1784". This intriguing print captures a fascinating piece of history, showcasing an unknown artist's satirical caricature against Mary Antoinette. The image portrays a peculiar creature, part harpy and part amphibious monster, being transported on a journey from Cadiz to the Spanish royal family. The engraving is filled with symbolism, reflecting the tensions between France and Spain during this period. It serves as both a political statement and an imaginative creation, combining elements of fantasy with real-life figures such as Marie Antoinette. The black and white composition adds depth to the scene, highlighting every intricate detail in this bizarre creature's appearance. Its curiously shaped body is enclosed within a cage while walking stick-wielding figures accompany it on its voyage. As we delve into this historical moment through Stefano Bianchetti's lens, we are reminded of how art can reflect societal upheaval. The French Revolution looms in the background as one contemplates what message lies behind this enigmatic portrayal. Whether viewed as an artistic curiosity or a commentary on power dynamics between nations, this print invites us to explore our own interpretations while appreciating Bianchetti's skillful craftsmanship.
