EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating etching by the 17th century Italian artists Francesco Curti and Agostino Parisini, offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life and vibrant trades of Bologna during the Baroque era. Plate 14 of this intricately detailed series, created around 1640, showcases a bustling city scene filled with various artisans and vendors plying their crafts. At the center of the image, a grand architectural facade dominates the scene, its intricate design a testament to the city's rich heritage. The building's exterior is adorned with columns, arches, and ornate details, reflecting the Baroque period's emphasis on opulence and grandeur. Surrounding the building, a lively scene unfolds. A man, likely a basket seller, stands at the left side of the image, expertly displaying his wares for potential customers. Nearby, a woman weaves a basket, her deft fingers moving nimbly over the material as she creates a new container. Other tradesmen and women can be seen at work, including a street vendor selling vegetables and a man repairing shoes. The etching's black and white contrast creates a striking visual effect, highlighting the intricacies of the scene and the textures of the various materials. The use of shading and hatching adds depth and dimension, bringing the image to life and transporting the viewer back in time to the streets of Bologna during the 17th century. This work of art, created by the skilled hands of Francesco Curti and Agostino Parisini, offers a unique window into the past, showcasing the diverse trades and daily life of a bustling Italian city during the Baroque era. Today, it is a cherished piece of heritage art, preserved and displayed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art for all to appreciate and learn from.
