EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful watercolor painting captures the enchanting view of Citta Vecchia, the ancient city of Mdina, Malta, as seen from Curmi (Qormi) in the late 1890s. The artwork, created using delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors, showcases the timeless beauty of this historic fortified city. At the forefront of the scene, we see the imposing silhouette of the Citta Vecchia's ancient walls, their weathered stone facades standing proud against the clear blue sky. The city's narrow streets wind their way through the heart of the ancient settlement, leading to the majestic Mdina Cathedral, which dominates the skyline. In the lower left corner of the painting, we find a group of figures. Among them, we can distinguish a scout leader, dressed in his distinctive uniform, pointing towards the city with an air of excitement and wonder. The young scouts, following closely behind, gaze up at their leader, their eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation. The painting is believed to have been created by an artist named Robert Powell, who was likely commissioned by Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scout Movement, during one of his visits to Malta. The connection to the Scout Movement adds an intriguing layer of history to this already captivating work of art. This painting is a testament to the enduring allure of Citta Vecchia and the rich history it holds. It invites us to imagine the stories of the past that unfolded within its walls and the adventures that awaited the young scouts as they explored this ancient city.
