EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching by Giuseppe Pozzi, titled "The Seconda Macchina for the Chinea of 1758: The Porcelain Tower of Nanjing, 1758," offers a stunning depiction of a Baroque pavilion dedicated to Chinese porcelain. The Seconda Macchina, or "Second Machine," was a magnificent structure built in the gardens of the Palazzo Reale in Milan, Italy, during the 18th century. The pavilion was designed to house and display the vast collection of Chinese porcelain amassed by the Italian aristocracy. The etching captures the grandeur of the Seconda Macchina, with its intricate Neoclassical design and ornate details. The tower-like structure is adorned with figures and sculptures, representing various aspects of Chinese culture, while the base is surrounded by a bustling scene of people admiring the porcelain on display. The tower itself is topped with a statue of a figure, possibly representing the Chinese god of porcelain, gazing out over the scene. The Porcelain Tower of Nanjing, a famous Chinese landmark, is depicted in the background, adding to the cultural significance of the scene. The etching is a tribute to the rich artistic and cultural exchange between Italy and China during the Baroque era, as well as a testament to the beauty and allure of Chinese porcelain. This exquisite etching by Giuseppe Pozzi is a must-see for anyone with an interest in art, history, or the intersection of Eastern and Western cultures.
