EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century drawing by Louis Ducros, titled 'View of Fort St. Angelo with Galley Ships in the Harbour, Malta, 1778,' transports us back in time to the romantic era. The image is taken from the album 'Voyage to Italy, Sicily and Malta,' and was created using chalk on paper. Fort St. Angelo, also known as the Wignacourt Museum or Il-Wignacourt, stands proudly on a rocky outcrop at the tip of Birgu, a historic town in Malta. The imposing fortification, built in the 16th century, has played a significant role in Maltese history as a strategic military stronghold and a symbol of the country's resilience. In the foreground of the drawing, several galley ships are anchored in the harbour, their sails furled and masts still. The ships, a common sight during this period, were essential for maritime trade and transportation in the Mediterranean Sea. The panoramic view, with the fortress and the ships framed by the blue waters of the harbour, offers a glimpse into the rich maritime heritage of Malta during the 18th century. The intricate details of the fort's architecture, the ships' rigging, and the surrounding landscape are rendered with remarkable precision and skill, showcasing Ducros' artistic talent. The drawing's romantic and picturesque composition, with the vista of the fort and the harbour, is a testament to the allure of travel and discovery during this era. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, invites us to explore the history and culture of Malta and the Mediterranean during the 18th century, a time of exploration, trade, and artistic expression.
