EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting engraving captures the grim reality of Milan during the plague in the 17th century. The scene, taken from Alessandro Manzoni's novel Promessi Sposi (The Betrothed), depicts a city ravaged by epidemic and contagion. Bodies lie strewn about, victims of sickness and disease, while fires burn in braziers to purify the air.
The artist, Federico Moia, skillfully conveys the desperation and devastation of this dark period in history. The buildings loom ominously in the background, silent witnesses to the suffering that has befallen their inhabitants. The flames flicker eerily, casting long shadows across the scene.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to a moment of crisis and chaos. It serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of human life and our vulnerability to unseen threats. Despite being created over a century later, this image captures the essence of what it must have been like to live through such a harrowing ordeal.
Through Moia's artistry and attention to detail, we are given a glimpse into a past that is both tragic and compelling. This engraving stands as a testament to resilience in the face of adversity and serves as a poignant reminder of our shared humanity across centuries.
