1734 1820 Burgundy Carmona Etching Good Manuel Neo Classicism Philip Salvador Aisa
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite etching by Manuel Salvador Carmona (1734-1820) depicts Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy (1396-1467). The image is a prime example of the Neoclassical style that emerged in Europe during the late 18th century. Neoclassicism was characterized by a revival of ancient Greek and Roman art and culture, and Carmona masterfully captures the essence of this movement in his portrayal of Philip. Philip the Good was a significant historical figure in Europe, serving as the Duke of Burgundy from 1419 until his death in 1467. He was known for his military prowess and political acumen, expanding the Burgundian territories and establishing a powerful and influential state. Carmona's etching captures Philip in a regal and dignified pose, wearing the robes of a duke and holding a scepter in one hand and a globe in the other. The background is adorned with classical motifs, including columns, laurel wreaths, and a triumphal arch, further emphasizing the Neoclassical influence. The intricacy and detail of Carmona's etching are truly remarkable. The lines are precise and bold, capturing every crease in Philip's clothing and every detail in the background. The shading and use of light and dark add depth and dimension to the image, making it a true work of art. This etching is not only a beautiful piece of art but also an important historical document. It provides a visual representation of Philip the Good and the Neoclassical style of the time, offering insights into European history and culture. The image is a testament to Carmona's artistic skill and the enduring influence of Neoclassicism.
