EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Fondazione del tempio votivo della Salute per la liberazione della peste, 1631" transports us back to the rich history of Venice in the 17th century. Created by an unknown Italian School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a significant event that shaped the city's identity. The image depicts the foundation ceremony of the Votive Temple of Health, which was built as a symbol of gratitude for deliverance from the devastating plague outbreak in 1630-1631. The temple stands proudly against the Venetian skyline, its grandeur reflecting both architectural brilliance and profound religious devotion. Intricate details bring life to this historical moment: people gathered around, witnessing this solemn occasion; dignitaries dressed in elaborate attire; and flags fluttering in celebration. The composition exudes a sense of unity and resilience amidst adversity. This engraving originally appeared as an illustration for "Storia Veneta Espressa in Centocinquanta Tavole" (Grimaldo, 1867), showcasing its significance as a visual representation of Venetian history. Preserved within a private collection today, it serves as a reminder not only of Venice's past struggles but also its triumphs over hardship. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded once again that art has always been intertwined with human experiences - capturing moments that shape our collective memory and offering
