EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Franz Edmund Weirotter, titled "Harbor at Livorno," dates back to the 18th century and offers a glimpse into the bustling harbor scene of Leghorn, Tuscany, Italy, around 1764. The image, which exists as an etching on laid paper in a proof state, transports us back in time to an era of sailing boats and water transport. The harbor front is filled with a multitude of boats of various sizes, docked at the waters edge, while figures can be seen loading and unloading goods, and others going about their daily business. The towering structures along the cityscape add depth and texture to the scene, with the distinctive silhouette of a tower standing tall against the grey sky. This historic depiction of Livorno, then known as Leghorn, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Italy and the importance of maritime trade during the eighteenth century. Today, this precious work of art can be found on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., inviting us to explore the beauty and history of a bygone era.
