EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Plate 15: Rivers and goddesses, with floating islands guided by pole bearers" takes us back to the grandeur of Florence in 1608. The image is part of the series "The magnificent pageant on the river Arno in Florence for the marriage of the Grand Duke" a celebration held for Cosimo de Medici. In this fantastical scene, we see a group of female figures seated gracefully on a dolphin and a tortoise, symbolizing their connection to both land and sea. Three female musicians add enchanting melodies as they sit upon a floating scallop shell. These ethereal beings guide floating islands through the river Arno using long poles. The intricate etching beautifully captures not only mythical creatures but also showcases the baroque era's artistic style. The attention to detail is remarkable, showcasing unknown artist's talent in depicting every ripple in the water and delicate features of each figure. This print transports us into an otherworldly realm where mythology intertwines with reality. It serves as a testament to Italy's rich cultural heritage while offering viewers an opportunity to delve into Florentine history during one of its most significant celebrations. With its striking composition and timeless beauty, this artwork truly deserves its place among esteemed collections at The Met museum or any art enthusiast's home.
