EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Allegorical Tomb of the 1st Duke of Devonshire" a remarkable oil on canvas painting created by Marco and Sebastiano Ricci in approximately 1725. The artwork, measuring an impressive 217.8x138.4 cm, is housed at The Henry Barber Trust within The Barber Institute of Fine Arts at the University of Birmingham. The composition depicts a landscape adorned with a grandiose tomb, serving as a commemorative monument to William Cavendish, the first Duke of Devonshire (1640-1707). Rich in symbolism and classical elements, this piece is part of a Whig propaganda series that sought to honor influential figures from history. Within this imaginary scene, mourners gather around the tomb while sculptures and figures emerge from its structure. Ruins surround them, adding an air of antiquity and timelessness to the painting's narrative. The artists' meticulous attention to detail brings life to every brushstroke. This print captures not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind this masterpiece. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both Marco and Sebastiano Ricci's artistic prowess as well as their contribution to Italian art during their respective lifetimes. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time – immersed in an allegorical world where art intertwines with history and emotion resonates through each figure depicted on canvas.
