EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing set design for operas at the renowned San Salvatore theatre in Venice. Created by the Italian School in the 17th century, this pen and ink wash on paper artwork is an exquisite example of Baroque aesthetics. The intricate details of this set design transport us back to 1675, when it was used for the premieres of two operas: "Adone in Cipro" and "Germanico sul Reno". The libretto for these productions was written by Giulio Cesare Corradi, while Giovanni Legrenzi composed the enchanting music. The San Salvatore theatre itself holds a rich history, originally built by the Vendramin family during the 17th century and later converted into an opera house in 1660. Also known as Teatro San Luca, it became a prominent venue for theatrical performances. In this particular scene depicted within the set design, we witness an exaggerated yet romantic portrayal of ancient Roman times. Luscious clouds float above as Tacitus' words come to life on stage. Horses gallop across a dreamlike landscape adorned with vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail. As we admire this masterpiece from Bibliotheque de l'Opera Garnier in Paris, France, we are reminded not only of its artistic significance but also its historical relevance. This print captures not just a stage set but also echoes centuries-old traditions that continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
