EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate beauty of the Lomellini Ewer and Basin, created in 1619 by a talented Flemish silversmith working in Genoa. The silver pieces are exquisitely embossed and chased, with cast details that showcase the craftsmanship of the era.
Genoa, a powerful maritime city in the 17th century, is celebrated through this ewer and basin which depict scenes from Greek mythology. The ewer features Neptune, the sea-god, marrying Amphitrite, a nymph of the sea. These images symbolize Genoa's victories at sea and its connection to marine life.
The detailed design of these pieces reflects not only the skill of the silversmith but also the wealth and sophistication of Genoese society during this period. The combination of Flemish metalwork techniques with Italian aesthetics creates a truly unique work of art that has stood the test of time.
As you gaze upon this engraving, you can almost feel yourself transported back to 17th century Italy, surrounded by opulence and grandeur. It serves as a reminder of an era when artistry flourished and creativity knew no bounds.
