EDITORS COMMENTS
Captain Vincenzo Lunardi and his Assistant George Biggin, accompanied by the adventurous Mrs. Letitia Anne Sage, embark on a breathtaking journey through the skies in this 18th-century oil painting. The trio stands proudly in their tricorn hats, ready to conquer new heights as they board a magnificent hot air balloon. With an elegant and fashionable flair, Captain Lunardi exudes confidence as he waves to those below, while George Biggin assists with the final preparations for their exhilarating ride. Mrs. Sage adds a touch of grace to the scene with her feathered hat and poised demeanor. The oval-shaped composition beautifully captures the anticipation and excitement that filled the air during this era of ballooning exploration. Rigaud's meticulous attention to detail brings every element of this extraordinary adventure to life - from the intricately woven basket beneath them to the vast expanse of sky above. This remarkable print transports us back in time, allowing us to marvel at both human ingenuity and our insatiable desire for discovery. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, individuals like Captain Vincenzo Lunardi dared to defy gravity's limits and explore uncharted territories.
