EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Naples dans la place appellee il Largo del Castello, Vue du pillage de la cocagne" takes us back to the vibrant carnival celebrations of 1778 in Naples. The image depicts the chaotic scene of the sacking of the Cuccagna monument on the square of Castel Nuovo. The etching and engraving technique used by artists Louis-Jean Desprez, Jean Duplessi-Bertaux, Benedict Alphonse Nicolet, and Jean Claude Richard de Saint Non beautifully captures every intricate detail of this historical event. The plate showcases their exceptional talent and dedication to their craft. Inscribed at the lower margin is a credit to Des Prez as the architect who sketched this remarkable scene during his time as a pensionnaire du roi at l'Académie de France à Rome. Du Plessi Bertaux skillfully executed the aquafortisculpture in 1779 while Nicolet completed it with precision using burin techniques. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to immerse ourselves in history and witness a momentous occasion that unfolded centuries ago. It serves as a testament to human creativity and resilience even amidst chaos and celebration.
