EDITORS COMMENTS
This black-and-white etching, titled "Naue del Colonbo gia trasformata da Nettunno" transports viewers to a mythical underwater realm. Created by Italian artists Stefano della Bella and Tommaso Guidoni in the 17th century, this print is part of the renowned Liszt Collection. The artwork depicts a majestic ship that has undergone a remarkable transformation under the influence of Neptune. Once an ordinary vessel, it now resembles a fearsome killer whale or orca, symbolizing its newfound power and strength. However, Proteus, the shape-shifting sea god, has returned it to its original form with his magical abilities. The ship's purpose becomes clear through Benedetto Rigogli's accompanying poem in verse: it is destined for an epic voyage towards conquering the East on behalf of Austria's august house. The image showcases intricate details such as knights preparing to embark upon this grand adventure. This print was originally issued alongside Rigogli's poem in Florence in 1652 during a performance combining combat and horse ballet at night. Its inclusion in Italian theater prints highlights its significance within artistic circles during that period. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece from centuries past, we are transported into an enchanting world where myth blends seamlessly with reality. The skillful etching technique employed by Della Bella and Guidoni brings every line and contour to life while capturing our imagination with tales of bravery and exploration.
