EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, created by the renowned Venetian artist Rosalba Carriera in 1724, showcases the distinguished face of Marco Ricci, a celebrated painter of the Italian Baroque period. Carriera, known for her exceptional skill in the medium of pastel, masterfully translated the essence of her subject onto copper plate through the technique of engraving. Marco Ricci, born in 1676, was an esteemed painter of the Venetian School, renowned for his meticulous and detailed botanical and still-life works. His innovative approach to the representation of natural forms, characterized by their three-dimensional quality and lifelike accuracy, set him apart from his contemporaries. In this portrait, Carriera captures the intellectual and artistic depth of her subject. Ricci's piercing gaze and the subtle play of light on his features convey a sense of introspection and deep concentration, reflecting the profound dedication and passion he brought to his artistic pursuits. The artist's skillful use of contrasts, from the deep shadows to the delicate highlights, further emphasizes the intricacies of Ricci's visage and adds a sense of depth and dimension to the image. As a member of the Venetian School, Carriera was part of a vibrant artistic community that flourished during the Rococo period. Her innovative approach to the medium of engraving, which she adapted from her work in pastels, allowed her to create images of exceptional delicacy and sensitivity, as evidenced in this stunning portrait of Marco Ricci.
