EDITORS COMMENTS
This drawing, created by Louis Ducros in 1778, transports us back in time to the picturesque harbor of Valletta, Malta. The towering Pavilion of the Grand Master's Palace dominates the scene, its grandeur and majesty on full display. The palace, which served as the official residence of the Grand Master of the Order of St. John, stands proudly atop the city's fortifications, overlooking the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. In the foreground, a bustling harbor comes to life with the hustle and bustle of ships coming and going. Galley ships, the primary mode of transportation during this era, are docked alongside the harbor wall, their sails furled and masts standing tall against the backdrop of the palace. The people in the drawing add a sense of scale and activity to the scene, their colorful clothing and diverse backgrounds reflecting the multicultural society that thrived in Malta during the 18th century. The drawing, which is part of the album "Voyage to Italy, Sicily and Malta," is a testament to the artistic skill and talent of Louis Ducros. The use of chalk on paper gives the image a soft, romantic feel, making it a beautiful representation of the scenic coastline and the rich heritage of Malta during the romantic era. The drawing is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and serves as a reminder of the beauty and history of this Mediterranean island nation.
