EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate engraving of "Santorios Balance" by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century. The artwork, now part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for The Picture Magazine in 1893. The image depicts a historical scene set in Italy during the year 1561. A beautifully adorned table is featured, showcasing various food and drink items meticulously arranged on plates and glasses. At the center of attention is Santorios Balance, a weighing device used to measure portions accurately. The composition exudes elegance with its Italian flair; it transports viewers back to a time when dining was not just about indulgence but also about maintaining balance and harmony between different elements. The presence of cutlery such as forks and spoons further emphasizes this notion. Notably, the Italian flag proudly waves in the background, symbolizing national pride while hinting at European unity within the European Union (EU). This connection highlights how food supply has always been crucial throughout history, especially in Europe where diverse cultures intertwine. Bridgeman Images' expert reproduction captures every detail with precision, allowing art enthusiasts to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind this engraving and its historical significance. Whether you are drawn to its aesthetic appeal or fascinated by culinary customs from centuries ago, this print offers a glimpse into an enchanting era that continues to captivate our imagination today.
