EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Villa Pliniana, Lake Como, 1803" transports viewers to the picturesque shores of Lake Como in Italy. The print showcases the stunning Villa Pliniana, a historical gem nestled amidst nature's beauty. Measuring 28x42 cm and housed at the Musee Marmottan Monet in Paris, France, this artwork captures the essence of Italian elegance. Built by Giovanni Anguissola in the late 16th century and possibly designed by Alessi or Pellegrini, Villa Pliniana takes its name from a forest mentioned by Pliny the Younger. Its facade stands majestically against a backdrop of rolling hills and majestic mountains. The enchanting landscape is further enhanced by sailing boats gracefully gliding across Lago di Como's crystal-clear waters. The focal point of this composition is undoubtedly the cascading waterfall that adorns one side of Villa Pliniana. Its gentle flow creates an atmosphere of tranquility and serenity that invites contemplation. The artist has skillfully captured every minute detail with precision through their masterful engraving technique. This remarkable piece evokes a sense of wanderlust as it immerses us in an idyllic scene straight out of a fairytale. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, timeless beauty continues to inspire awe and captivate our imagination.
