EDITORS COMMENTS
View from the Grotta delle Capre, 1778" is a captivating drawing by the Swiss artist Abraham Louis Rodolphe Ducros, showcased in his album "Voyage to Italy, Sicily and Malta." This exquisite work of art, created during the 18th century, offers a breathtaking perspective of the Grotta delle Capre in San Felice Circeo, Latina province, Italy. Ducros masterfully captures the essence of the picturesque scene with chalk on paper, bringing the natural beauty of the Italian coastline to life. The drawing is dominated by the stunning view of Mount Circeo, with its rugged cliffs and lush greenery, rising majestically from the azure waters. In the foreground, a man, possibly the artist himself, is depicted taking a rest on a rocky outcrop. He is accompanied by two horses, tethered nearby, perhaps his companions on his journey. The tranquil scene is further enhanced by the presence of a horse-drawn cart, which seems to have been left behind as the traveler takes in the breathtaking vista. The title "Grotta delle Capre," or "Goat's Cave," refers to the natural grotto located at the base of Mount Circeo, which was home to a herd of goats. The name is fitting, as the drawing captures the pastoral charm and serenity of the location, making it a quintessential representation of the romantic era and its fascination with the natural world. This evocative drawing, now held in the Rijksmuseum collection, invites us to imagine the experiences of the travelers who journeyed through Italy, Sicily, and Malta during the 18th century, and to appreciate the beauty and wonder of the world around us.
