EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Tarantula: A Dance of Healing from the 18th Century" 2.. This evocative 18th-century print, titled "The Tarantula," depicts a lively scene of dancers engaged in the traditional Tarantella dance. The Tarantella, originating in southern Italy, was a dance believed to provide relief and cure those who had been bitten by the tarantula spider. The dance, which dates back to at least the 16th century, gained widespread popularity during the 1700s. The print, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of this unique dance and the method used to cure tarantula bites. The tarantula, a venomous arachnid, was known to inflict painful and sometimes fatal bites. The belief was that the intense physical exertion of the Tarantella dance would help draw out the venom, allowing the body to expel it more effectively. The dancers in the print are shown with determined expressions, fully immersed in the rhythm of the music and the steps of the dance. The tarantella was typically danced in a circle, with each dancer holding onto the waist of the person in front, creating a continuous chain. The dance was characterized by quick, energetic steps, sharp turns, and sudden jumps, all executed in time with the lively music. The Tarantella dance was not only a means of healing but also a communal event, bringing people together in times of crisis and celebration. The print captures the spirit of this shared experience, showcasing the strength, resilience, and unity of the community in the face of danger. This historical print offers a captivating window into the past, providing insights into the cultural practices and beliefs of the 18th century. The Tarantella dance remains an enduring symbol of the power of music, dance, and community in healing and overcoming adversity.
