EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Il Beato Pietro Acotanto soccorre i miseri cittadini nel tempo di una inondazione, 1122" transports us back to Venice in the 12th century. Created by an anonymous Italian artist from the 19th century, this print captures a dramatic moment of history. The scene depicts the blessed Pietro Acotanto coming to the aid of desperate citizens during a devastating flood. As water engulfs the city streets, people cling to whatever they can find for safety. With outstretched arms and a compassionate expression on his face, Pietro Acotanto offers solace and assistance to those in need. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for Storia Veneta Espressa in Centocinquanta Tavole (Grimaldo, 1867), a historical account of Venice. It beautifully encapsulates both the resilience of its inhabitants and their deep religious faith that sustained them through challenging times. Venice's rich history is brought vividly to life through this artwork. The intricate details capture not only the physical devastation caused by flooding but also convey a sense of unity among its citizens as they come together amidst adversity. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a poignant reminder of our shared human experiences throughout time. It reminds us that even in moments of crisis, compassion and support can bring hope and healing. Through this engraving by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder
