EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning setting for an opera in a garden, taken from Architectus Theatralis Primarius. Engraved by Johann Andreas Pfeffel and published in 1740, this exquisite piece of art is now part of a private collection. The image transports us to the grandeur of baroque architecture, with its ornate details and courtly ambiance. The scene depicts tiers of statues inspired by ancient designs, creating an atmosphere that exudes elegance and sophistication. This architectural set was dedicated to Holy Roman Emperor Carlo IV, adding another layer of significance to its historical importance. The plein air performance takes place amidst the lush greenery and meticulously designed gardens. A colonnade frames the stage area while providing a sense of grandiosity. The pavilion and terrace offer ideal vantage points for spectators to enjoy the theatrical spectacle unfolding before them. Elaborate fountains add movement and grace to the scene while balustrades provide structure and symmetry. Every element has been carefully crafted by Joseph Gallie da Bibiena, showcasing his exceptional talent as an architect. As we gaze upon this theatrical masterpiece captured in print form, we are transported back in time to an era where entertainment was elevated into an art form. It serves as a reminder of the beauty that can be created when imagination meets skilled craftsmanship within the realm of theater production design.
