EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white etching by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, we are transported to the 18th century as a magician points out a burning head to two young individuals. The scene is part of Tiepolo's series called "Scherzi di Fantasia" or "Sketches of Fantasy" created between 1743-1750. The image evokes an eerie atmosphere with its depiction of death and religious symbolism. The magician, dressed in traditional attire, appears to be guiding the youths' attention towards the burning head, which hangs suspended in mid-air. A sense of mystery surrounds this macabre act. As our eyes explore the details, we notice an owl perched nearby, adding an element of mysticism and wisdom to the composition. This bird of prey seems to observe the unfolding scene with keen interest. The presence of a rabbi suggests ties to Judaism and hints at deeper religious undertones within this artwork. Perhaps it explores themes such as sacrifice or cremation associated with ancient rituals found in Jewish traditions. Tiepolo's masterful technique shines through his delicate lines and intricate shading that bring life to each figure present in this print from The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection. This thought-provoking piece invites us into a world where magic meets darkness, leaving us captivated by its unusual subject matter and historical significance.
