EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating pen and ink drawing by the 18th century Italian artist Francesco Tironi, offers a glimpse into the bustling waterfront scene of Venice, Italy. The intricately detailed print, created around 1778 or 1779, depicts the small island of Lazaretto Nuovo, located in the Venetian Lagoon. Tironi masterfully captures the essence of Venetian life, with gondolas and gondoliers transporting people and goods along the waterways. The gondoliers, dressed in their traditional striped shirts and straw hats, expertly navigate the narrow waterways, their long oars slicing through the water with precision. The island itself is a hive of activity, with figures going about their daily business, from fishermen mending their nets to workers loading and unloading cargo from boats. The drawing is executed in pen and brown ink with gray wash on laid paper, giving it a rich, textured appearance. The use of brown and grey tones adds depth and contrast to the scene, while the fine lines and intricate details bring the image to life. The buildings on the island, with their red-tiled roofs and ornate facades, add to the sense of history and heritage. This beautiful print, a testament to Tironi's skill as an artist, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Venice was a thriving center of commerce and culture. Today, it can be found in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
