EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense world of boxing in England during the 19th century. Taken from Giulio Ferrario's renowned work "Costume Antico e Moderno" this coloured engraving offers a glimpse into the raw and brutal sport that captivated audiences of the time. In this illustration, two fighters stand face to face, ready to engage in a fierce battle of strength and skill. The absence of gloves highlights the bare-knuckle nature of their confrontation, emphasizing the grit and determination required for such combat. The energy emanating from these boxers is palpable as they prepare to clash against each other. Their muscular physiques speak volumes about their dedication and training, while their focused expressions reveal an unwavering commitment to victory. Beyond mere physicality, this image also symbolizes conflict on multiple levels. It represents not only a fight between two individuals but also reflects broader themes such as competition, struggle, and human resilience. Published in Milan in 1819 by Raineri Vittorio, this historical artwork has stood the test of time and continues to resonate with viewers today. Its inclusion within Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs' collection further solidifies its significance within art history. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing engraving from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to an era where boxing was more than just a sport; it was a testament to human endurance and tenacity.
