EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and lively print captures the essence of the famous Casino (Il ridotto) in Venice, circa 1757. The painting, found in the collection of Museo della Fondazione Querini Stampalia, Venezia, showcases a scene filled with excitement and revelry. In this image, we are transported to a world of celebration and merriment during carnival season in Venice. The festival atmosphere is palpable as actors adorned in elaborate costumes fill the space. A mime entertains the crowd with his playful gestures while a clown brings laughter to all around him. The masquerade ball is at its peak as masked individuals engage in witty banter and comedic performances inspired by commedia dell'arte. The rococo setting adds an air of elegance to this joyous occasion. Amidst the festivities, we catch glimpses of poets reciting verses and actors delivering captivating monologues. The ruff collars worn by some guests signify their status within society. This print serves as a window into Venetian culture during this era - where artistry, entertainment, and socializing converged seamlessly. It embodies the spirit of Mardi Gras celebrations with its colorful palette and dynamic composition. Pietro Longhi's masterful brushwork brings every detail to life on canvas; from intricate masks to ornate costumes - each element contributes to the overall spectacle that was Il ridotto.
