EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a small metier of the bustling city of Naples in the 19th century. In this lively street scene, we see a walking barber engaged in conversation with passersby. The artist, Gaetano Dura, skillfully portrays the vibrant atmosphere and rich culture of Naples during this era. The attention to detail is remarkable as every element tells a story. The barber's traditional costume reflects his profession and adds authenticity to the scene. His expert hands are poised mid-air, perhaps gesturing animatedly while sharing stories or gossip with his customers. Surrounded by an array of tents and market stalls, this image showcases the diverse range of trades that thrived in Naples at that time. It offers us a glimpse into the daily life and commerce that shaped this vibrant city. The engraving beautifully captures not only the physical features but also the essence of human interaction within society. From bearded men seeking grooming services to curious onlookers observing from afar, it highlights how these small metiers played an integral role in shaping community bonds. Giancarlo Costa has masterfully preserved this historical moment through his print, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and its significance as a cultural artifact from 19th-century Italy.
