EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Castle in the Island of Tortosa, 1805" takes us on a journey back in time to the enchanting shores of Tartus, modern-day Syria. The artist behind this masterpiece is William Watts (1752-1851), whose attention to detail and skillful hand have brought this scene to life. The focal point of the print is undoubtedly the majestic castle that proudly stands on an island off the coast. Its towering walls and intricate architecture speak volumes about its historical significance as a fortress during the Ottoman Empire. Surrounding it are bustling docks filled with ships of all sizes, showcasing a vibrant maritime activity. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we notice Turkish boats gracefully gliding through the turquoise waters while a tugboat maneuvers nearby. This depiction transports us to an era when trade and transport were vital for coastal communities like Tortosa. The composition also captures elements of orientalism, highlighting cultural influences from Turkey along with hints of Mediterranean charm. The shoreline dotted with dwellings and quaysides adds depth to this picturesque scene.
