EDITORS COMMENTS
Port of Barletta with Ships, 1778" is a captivating chalk drawing by the Swiss artist Abraham Louis Rodolphe Ducros, taken from his album "Voyage to Italy, Sicily and Malta." This exquisite artwork provides a glimpse into the bustling maritime activity of the Italian coastal town of Barletta, located in the Apulia region. The Port of Barletta, a significant trading hub during the 18th century, is depicted as a vibrant scene filled with a multitude of ships of various sizes and shapes. The drawing showcases the richness of the Adriatic Sea, with its deep blue hues and the shimmering reflections of the sun on the water's surface. The ships, anchored or underway, add a sense of dynamism and movement to the otherwise tranquil seascape. Fishing boats, with their colorful sails and nets, are interspersed among the larger trading vessels, highlighting the importance of both commercial and local fishing industries. Ducros' masterful use of chalk on paper creates an intricate and detailed representation of the geographical feature. The artist's keen observation and skillful rendering of the coastal landscape, with its rocky cliffs and quaint buildings, add depth and context to the scene. The romantic era influence is evident in the artist's focus on the picturesque beauty of the location, making this drawing a valuable addition to any collection of Italian and maritime art. This drawing, as part of Ducros' travel journal, serves as a testament to the artist's exploration and documentation of the world around him during the late 18th century. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam is fortunate to house this precious piece of heritage art, allowing us to appreciate the captivating beauty of the Port of Barletta and the vibrant maritime life of the Adriatic Sea during a bygone era.
