EDITORS COMMENTS
Il Greco in Troia: Plate 7" is a captivating black and white etching and engraving on laid paper, created by the Flemish artist Arnold van Westerhout in the 17th or 18th century. This stunning work of art transports us back in time to the ancient city of Troy, a place rich in history and cultural heritage. The scene depicts a figure on horseback, likely a Greek warrior, crossing a bridge over a tranquil body of water. The bridge, with its arched structure, adds an element of drama and intrigue to the image, as if we are witnessing a pivotal moment in the Trojan Wars. The rider, dressed in armor, is focused intently on his journey ahead, oblivious to the scenic beauty that surrounds him. The etching and engraving technique used by van Westerhout allows for intricate details and shading, resulting in a highly textured and visually engaging image. The use of grey tones adds depth and contrast, making the figures and structures stand out against the backdrop of the landscape. This print is a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of the Flemish master, Arnold van Westerhout. It is a valuable addition to any art collection, art centre, or art gallery, and is a must-see for anyone with an interest in history, literature, or the arts. The image is reminiscent of operatic librettos and illustrations from the era, and would make a beautiful and thought-provoking addition to any home or office. Whether you are an art enthusiast, a history buff, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, "Il Greco in Troia: Plate 7" is a work of art that is sure to inspire and captivate you.
