EDITORS COMMENTS
The Feast of Virgil at Mantua, Italy, 24 Vendemiaire, year 6 (October 1797) captures a vibrant celebration in the heart of historic Mantua. Painted by Antoine Charles Joseph Vernet, this exquisite aquatint print brings to life the joyous atmosphere of a momentous occasion during the French Revolutionary Wars. The scene unfolds amidst an enchanting avenue lined with majestic trees and elegant architecture. Crowds gather to honor the legendary poet Virgil, who was born in Mantua centuries earlier. Men and women from all walks of life come together to pay homage to their cultural heritage and embrace the spirit of unity. Amidst the bustling streets filled with soldiers and civilians alike, we catch glimpses of individuals immersed in conversation or lost in thought. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays both male and female figures dressed in period attire. A prominent statue stands tall at the center of this grand spectacle, serving as a reminder of Mantua's rich history. It symbolizes strength and resilience amidst times of war while also representing hope for a brighter future. Vernet masterfully captures not only the physical landscape but also conveys a sense of camaraderie that permeates through every brushstroke. This print from the Historica Graphica Collection transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand this remarkable feast that celebrates both culture and community.
