EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Proscenium for Angelica, Vincitrice di Alcina, created by Franz Ambros Dietel in 1716. This magnificent piece was specifically designed for an opera composed to celebrate the birth of Prince Leopold. The baroque era comes alive through the intricate details and ornate beauty of this proscenium. The Proscenium takes center stage in this image, with its grandeur and elegance capturing the essence of the performance it once adorned. Designed by Giuseppe Galli Bibiena, a renowned Italian architect and designer, it reflects his mastery of theatrical design during that period. Located at Vienna's Favorita Palace, this historic masterpiece transports us back to a time when theater was not just entertainment but a grand spectacle. The performers on stage are mere shadows compared to the opulence surrounding them - a testament to Dietel's skill as an engraver. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost hear the applause from the audience who were lucky enough to witness such a breathtaking scene unfold before their eyes. It serves as a reminder of how art has always been able to transport us into another world. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this etching and engraving is now part of our heritage. It stands as a tribute not only to Dietel's talent but also to the rich history and cultural significance of Austrian theater during the 18th century.
