EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a vibrant moment in history - the carnival festivities of Rome during the reign of Queen Christina of Sweden. The image showcases a specially designed scaffolding erected in the Piazza di San Marco, allowing Queen Christina an elevated view of the exuberant celebrations below. In this bustling scene, we see a crowd of partying people and various carriages filling the foreground. Their joyous energy is palpable as they revel in the spirit of Shrovetide, a non-liturgical celebration known for its merriment and indulgence. The atmosphere is electric with laughter, music, and colorful costumes that add to the spectacle. Italian text adorns the lower margin, adding an authentic touch to this historical snapshot. It serves as a reminder that this event was not only significant for Queen Christina but also for all those who participated in these urban festivities. The artist behind this remarkable etching is Giovanni Battista Falda, whose attention to detail brings every element to life on paper. His work captures not only the grandeur of Rome's architecture but also highlights how it served as a backdrop for cultural events like carnivals. This print transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand one extraordinary moment when artistry met celebration under Queen Christina's watchful eye.
