EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the picturesque view of the village of Portaria, nestled in the heart of Thessaly, Greece. The village, with its traditional whitewashed houses and red-tiled roofs, is framed by lush greenery and rolling hills. In the foreground, the Monastery of St. Nicholas stands proudly, its domes and intricate details depicted in meticulous detail. The Monastery, a significant landmark of the village, is surrounded by gardens and trees, providing a serene and peaceful atmosphere. In the background, the towering silhouette of the Cathedral of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary can be seen, adding to the sacred and spiritual ambiance of the scene. The village's close proximity to the cathedral and monastery reflects the strong religious traditions of the community. The engraving is based on a landscape by Edward Dodwell, an English traveler and artist, and was published in Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" in 1826. The work was a comprehensive and detailed record of the fashion and costume of various peoples around the world, and the engraving of Portaria is a testament to the beauty and uniqueness of Greek village life during that era. The intricate details of the engraving, from the individual tiles on the roofs to the intricate designs on the church facades, showcase the skill and artistry of the engraver. The handcolouring adds a vibrant and lifelike quality to the image, making it a captivating and beautiful representation of Portaria and its rich history.
