EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Giovanni Volpato, we are transported back to the lively atmosphere of a bustling tavern in the late 18th century. The focal point of the image is a barmaid skillfully filling mugs with beer at the left side of the frame. Her confident stance and swift hand movements suggest her expertise in serving patrons their favorite brews. At the center, a man holds a bottle, perhaps engaging in conversation or eagerly awaiting his turn for a refill. Meanwhile, three individuals sit at a table on the right side, engrossed in their drinks and enjoying each other's company. The scene exudes camaraderie and conviviality. The etching beautifully captures various elements that define this era: from traditional tankards and barrels adorning the interior to men smoking tobacco pipes as they indulge in their libations. It provides us with an intimate glimpse into everyday life during this period. Volpato's attention to detail is evident throughout; every gesture, expression, and object contributes to creating an authentic ambiance within this historical setting. This artwork serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable cultural artifact that allows us to appreciate centuries-old traditions surrounding alcohol consumption. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print showcases Volpato's mastery as well as his ability to transport viewers through time with just one glance.
