EDITORS COMMENTS
Plates 5-7 from Nella Venuta, a series of four etchings in black on ivory laid paper created by Franz Edmund Weirotter in 1764, offer a captivating depiction of the arrival in Rome as described in the literary work "Nella Venuta in Roma" by Étienne de Lavallée Poussin. These etchings, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, provide a glimpse into the 18th century Austrian artist's interpretation of the ancient Roman culture. The series begins with Plate 5, titled "The Arrival of the Guy in Rome," which shows a man, likely the protagonist of the story, being greeted by a group of cherubs or putti. These angelic figures, symbolizing the joy and beauty of Rome, welcome him with open arms, setting the tone for his journey through the Eternal City. Plate 6, titled "Amorini," showcases a scene of various putti engaged in playful activities, further emphasizing the theme of joy and merriment associated with Rome. The delicate, intricate lines and the use of black and white contrast create a sense of timelessness and elegance. Plate 7, entitled "Cherubs," offers a closer look at these mythological figures, their youthful faces and slender bodies captured in meticulous detail. The etching showcases Weirotter's mastery of the medium, as he skillfully brings these figures to life on paper. These etchings serve as a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the 18th century, offering a glimpse into the world of ancient Rome as imagined by a talented Austrian artist. The intricate details, the use of black and white contrast, and the timeless beauty of the subjects make these etchings a must-see for anyone interested in art, history, or literature.
