EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "La Cortigiana de Roma (Courtesan), ca. 1580" takes us back to the vibrant streets of 16th century Rome. Attributed to Pietro Bertelli, an Italian artist of that era, this engraving showcases his impeccable attention to detail. The courtesan depicted in the image stands tall and proud, dressed in a luxurious cape with a hood that adds an air of mystery to her persona. Her exquisite clothing and jewelry reflect her high social status and affluent lifestyle. A pearl necklace adorns her neck, symbolizing wealth and elegance. As we gaze at this full-length portrait, we can't help but be drawn into the world of this enigmatic woman. Her profession as a courtesan was not uncommon during that time period when women often relied on their charm and beauty for financial independence. Located within the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this artwork is a testament to Italy's rich cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder of the diverse roles women played throughout history – from artists themselves to subjects immortalized on canvas or paper. Through its monochromatic palette, "La Cortigiana de Roma" transports us back in time while also reminding us of the enduring power art holds in preserving our past for future generations to appreciate.
