EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Franz Edmund Weirotter, titled "Nella Venuta in Roma" (The Arrival in Rome), dates back to the 18th century and offers a glimpse into the world of antique art and culture. The plate is an intricate depiction of a scene inspired by the works of Étienne de Lavallée Poussin and other Old Masters. Weirotter masterfully etched this image in black on ivory laid paper, resulting in a striking contrast that adds to the timeless beauty of the artwork. The composition features a group of cherubs, or amorini, playfully interacting with each other and observing the arrival of a man and a woman in Rome. The couple, dressed in the fashion of the time, appear in awe of their surroundings, surrounded by statues of putti and cherubs. The scene is reminiscent of the romanticized idea of the Grand Tour, a popular cultural practice among the European elite during the 18th and 19th centuries, where young people traveled to Italy to study art and history. The black and white etching, with its intricate details and delicate lines, transports viewers to a different era, inviting them to explore the rich history and heritage of the arts. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of classical themes and the skillful artistry of the past. This plate is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly the works of the 18th century, and is a valuable addition to any art centre, art gallery, or art institute's collection.
