EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Illustration from The Story of my escape from the prison of the Republic of Venice called I Piombi" takes us back to a thrilling moment in history. Created by Johann Berka in 1788, it depicts the infamous Italian adventurer Giacomo Casanova during his daring prison break. In this scene, we witness Casanova's audacious climb out of the Doges Palace in Venice into an awaiting gondola. The artist skillfully captures the tension and excitement of this pivotal moment as Casanova defies all odds to regain his freedom. His determination is palpable, symbolizing both his resourcefulness and resilience. Casanova's escape from I Piombi (The Leads) prison in 1755 became legendary, solidifying his reputation as a masterful escapologist. This illustration serves as a visual testament to his extraordinary tale, which he later chronicled in "L'Histoire de ma Fuite des Prisons de la République de Venise qu'on Appelle 'Les Plombs'" (The Story of my Escape from the Prison of the Republic of Venice Called 'The Leads'). As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we are transported back to 18th-century Italy—a time when adventure and danger coexisted within magnificent city walls. It reminds us that even within seemingly impenetrable confines, human spirit can soar above any obstacle with unwavering determination. This print holds not only artistic value but also historical significance—an enduring reminder that courage knows no bounds when one seeks liberation against all odds.
