EDITORS COMMENTS
Giovanni Fattori's Military Promenade (n.d.) is a captivating black and white etching that transports us back to the nineteenth century, showcasing the arrival of soldiers and their horses in an Italian village. This soft ground etching with plate tone in black on ivory wove paper is a prime example of Fattori's distinctive Macchiaioli artistic style. The scene unfolds with a group of men in military uniforms, proudly riding horseback at the forefront, their horses' ears pricked and alert. Behind them, a crowd of soldiers and villagers gather, watching the arrival with curiosity and anticipation. The horses, with their powerful forms and expressive eyes, add a sense of energy and movement to the composition. The etching's black and white palette enhances the contrast between light and shadow, creating a striking visual effect. The soldiers' uniforms, with their intricate details and textures, are rendered with great precision and detail. The village in the background, with its quaint houses and cobblestone streets, adds a sense of place and heritage to the image. Military Promenade is a poignant reminder of the role of the military in society during the nineteenth century and the impact it had on the daily lives of people. The image invites us to reflect on the concept of warfare and the arrival of troops as both a source of protection and a disruptor of peace. This etching is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, adding depth and richness to the study of Italian art and the Macchiaioli movement. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this beautiful work in its permanent collection, allowing generations to come to appreciate the artistic mastery of Giovanni Fattori.
