EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Doge Attends the Giovedi Grasso Festival in the Piazzetta, 1763/1766" takes us back to the vibrant streets of 18th-century Venice. Captured by Giovanni Battista Brostoloni, this etching and engraving on laid paper beautifully depicts a momentous occasion in Venetian history. In the heart of Piazzetta, we witness an extraordinary balancing act between tradition and revelry. The grand architecture of the building exterior serves as a magnificent backdrop for this bustling scene. As men, women, and children gather together to celebrate Giovedi Grasso - one of Venice's most cherished festivals - their excitement fills every corner. Amidst the crowd stands the revered figure of the Doge himself, adorned in his regal attire. His presence symbolizes both power and unity as he joins his people in merriment. This image captures not only a historical event but also embodies a metaphorical representation of Venetian culture. Brostoloni's masterful technique brings out every intricate detail with precision; from each individual face within the group to every monument that graces this iconic square. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the rich heritage art that defines Italy. Displayed at National Gallery of Art Washington, this remarkable piece by Giovanni Battista Brostoloni invites us to immerse ourselves in its beauty and marvel at its historical significance.
