EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Doge in the Bucintoro Departing for the Porto di Lido on Ascension Day, 1763/1766" takes us back to the vibrant streets of Venice in the 18th century. Captured by Giovanni Battista Brostoloni, this etching and engraving on laid paper showcases his exceptional talent as an artist. In this scene, we witness a bustling crowd gathered along the Grand Canal to witness a momentous event - the departure of the Doge in his majestic galley ship called Bucintoro. Ascension Day is marked with great fervor and religious significance, making it a cherished custom for Venetians. The composition beautifully captures both architectural details and human presence. The grandeur of Venice's iconic buildings lines the canal while men, women, and children fill every available space to catch a glimpse of their beloved leader. The image exudes a sense of anticipation as people eagerly await this significant departure. Brostoloni's masterful use of black and white adds depth and drama to this historical moment frozen in time. Each stroke highlights intricate details such as clothing styles, facial expressions, and even small boats dotting the waterway. As we admire this artwork at its current home in National Gallery of Art Washington DC. , we are transported back centuries ago when tradition intertwined with daily life in Italy's enchanting city. It serves as a testament to both Brostoloni's artistic prowess and our enduring fascination with history captured through art.
