EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving, titled "Woman of the Island of Ischia in the Bay of Naples," is an enchanting glimpse into the rich history and culture of the 16th century. The image, taken from Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages, published in 1796, showcases a woman from the island of Ischia, located in the beautiful Bay of Naples. Ischia, an island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, has been renowned for its natural hot springs and picturesque beauty since ancient times. The woman in this engraving is depicted wearing traditional island attire, with a flowing white dress adorned with intricate patterns and a vibrant red shawl draped around her shoulders. Her hair is styled in elaborate braids, adorned with flowers and beads, reflecting the island's natural beauty. The woman is shown standing on the rocky shore of the bay, gazing out at the tranquil waters of the Mediterranean. In the background, the volcanic landscape of Naples can be seen, with its iconic Vesuvius volcano towering over the city. The engraving captures the essence of the island's unique charm and the harmony between its people and their natural surroundings. Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages was a groundbreaking work that documented the fashion and customs of various historical periods and cultures. This particular engraving is a testament to the rich history and beauty of the island of Ischia and the Bay of Naples during the 16th century.
