EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Don Michele Getting Up the Ship's Side" takes us back to 19th century Italy, showcasing the humorous and lively character of Thomas Rowlandson's work. This hand-tinted aquatint captures a comical scene as Don Michele, an Italian man, attempts to climb up the side of a galleon ship in Naples. Rowlandson's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of color, bringing life and vibrancy to this historical moment. The artist skillfully portrays the determination on Don Michele's face as he struggles with ropes and ladders, creating a sense of anticipation for what lies ahead. This artwork not only showcases Rowlandson's artistic talent but also provides us with a glimpse into transportation during that era. The sailing ships depicted here were vital means of travel and trade at the time, connecting countries like Britain and Italy. As we admire this piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported back in time to witness this amusing spectacle unfold before our eyes. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to capture moments from history while simultaneously entertaining its viewers. Through his unique style and wit, Rowlandson invites us into his world where imagination meets reality. This print is undoubtedly an invaluable addition to any collection due to its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
