EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, created by the Monogrammist ITF in the 16th century, depicts a lively carnival scene held on the historic Mount Testaccio in Rome, Italy. The mound, known for its ancient Roman ruins and historical significance, serves as the perfect backdrop for this vibrant celebration. In the foreground, a horse-drawn vehicle carries a group of revelers, their faces filled with excitement and joy. Nearby, a knight on horseback engages in a friendly game of horseback archery with a fellow rider. Camels, a common sight in Italian carnivals during this era, are shown in the background, offering rides to curious onlookers. The print is rich in detail, with intricately illustrated figures of men and women, musicians playing various instruments, and minstrels entertaining the crowds. The diverse group of people, dressed in the fashion of the time, adds to the authenticity of the scene. This artwork offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Italy during the 16th century, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the enduring appeal of carnival traditions. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City is fortunate to have this rare and beautiful print in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and historical significance of this engraving.
