EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Colla di Parma" by Francesco Bartolozzi, created around 1775, is a whimsical and humorous depiction of the Georgian era. The etching showcases a clever play on words, as "Colla di Parma" translates to "glue from Parma" referencing the composer Giuseppe Colla who migrated to England in the 18th century. The artwork portrays a comically exaggerated false posterior or fake bottom that can be stuck onto one's own buttocks. This imaginative invention adds an element of surprise and amusement to the piece. Bartolozzi's attention to detail is evident in his skillful etching technique, capturing every contour and texture with precision. The print not only serves as a source of entertainment but also reflects the lightheartedness and wit prevalent during this period. It offers a glimpse into the playful nature of Georgian society, where such eccentricities were embraced. This particular print is part of a private collection and has been preserved over time, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance today. Its inclusion in various art collections speaks to its enduring appeal and ability to captivate viewers across generations. Overall, "Colla di Parma" stands as an intriguing example of artistic creativity combined with social commentary, reminding us that humor transcends time and cultural boundaries.
