EDITORS COMMENTS
This view of Taormina, a picturesque town nestled on the eastern coast of Sicily, Italy, is depicted in a stunning chalk drawing by Abraham Louis Rodolphe Ducros in 1778. The drawing is part of Ducros' album, "Voyage to Italy, Sicily and Malta," which chronicles his travels through Europe during the Romantic Era. The composition showcases the ancient Greek theater, perched dramatically on a hillside overlooking the town and the sea. The theater, still in use during Ducros' time, was a popular tourist attraction and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region. In the foreground, people go about their daily lives, adding a sense of scale and activity to the idyllic scene. The drawing's panoramic view captures the rolling hills, winding streets, and rustic buildings of Taormina, as well as the nearby mountains and the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean. The use of chalk on paper gives the image a soft, textured quality, while the vibrant colors bring the scene to life. The drawing also offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when travel was an adventure and the world was full of discovery. The letterbox format of the image invites us to imagine ourselves standing on the balcony of the inn at Giardini, taking in the breathtaking view and absorbing the beauty and history of this enchanting place. Today, this drawing is a cherished piece of art and a reminder of the enduring allure of Taormina and the Sicilian coast. It can be found in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
