EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the year 1902, capturing the graceful "Maria Virginia" sailing boat as it glides through the tranquil waters of the Gulf of Portoferraio, Elba Island. The picturesque landscape showcases the natural beauty of this Italian island, with its rugged cliffs and azure sea stretching out towards the horizon. The "Maria Virginia" takes center stage in this scene, her sails billowing gracefully in the wind. This small sailboat exudes a sense of elegance and adventure, evoking images of bygone eras when sailing was not just a means of transportation but also an art form. It is fascinating to imagine what stories lie behind this vessel - perhaps she has carried explorers or traders on daring voyages across distant seas. Giorgio Roster's skillful composition captures both the serenity of nature and man's ingenuity in harnessing its power for exploration. The contrast between land and sea creates a harmonious balance within the frame, while also emphasizing humanity's connection to these elements. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are reminded that transportation is not merely about getting from one place to another; it is about embarking on journeys that awaken our senses and expand our horizons. In an age where speed often dominates our lives, there is something enchanting about witnessing a slower mode of travel like sailing. This print by Giorgio Roster serves as a window into history - a snapshot frozen in time that allows us to appreciate both the beauty of Elba Island's landscape and mankind's enduring fascination with exploring new frontiers.
