EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "No. 889-6 Morning Amusements before a Trip to Tivoli" by George Dance takes us back in time to witness the morning rituals of a group of travelers embarking on their journey. Set in a cozy bedroom adorned with elegant furnishings, the scene captures the essence of anticipation and camaraderie. In this delightful artwork, we see gentlemen clad in nightshirts and nightcaps engaging in lively conversation while enjoying their morning refreshments. One gentleman jests about ordering punch, suggesting that it might be an essential part of starting the day. Another playfully reminds his companions that it is time to set off for Tivoli, perhaps indicating an exciting adventure awaiting them. Dance's meticulous pen and wash technique beautifully brings out the intricate details of the room's decor - from ornate beds to exquisite furniture - transporting us into this grand tour experience during Italy's golden age. This print not only showcases Dance's artistic prowess but also provides a glimpse into the leisurely lifestyle enjoyed by 18th-century dilettantes as they embarked on cultural expeditions across Europe. It serves as a reminder that travel has always been intertwined with pleasure and discovery throughout history. Displayed at Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge, UK, this enchanting piece invites viewers to immerse themselves in its charm and imagine being part of these morning amusements before setting off on an unforgettable trip to Tivoli.
