EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Copy in reverse of an old woman with a rosary and a boy counting coins; plate 10 fr" transports us back to the 18th century. The image is a reproduction of an etching by Niccolo Cavalli after the original work by Giovanni Battista Piazzetta. In this scene, we see an elderly woman seated, her hands clasping a delicate rosary. Her face reflects wisdom and devotion as she engages in prayer. Beside her stands a young boy, engrossed in counting coins with intense concentration. This juxtaposition of age and youth symbolizes the passing down of traditions and knowledge from one generation to another. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility, enhanced by the monochromatic palette that adds depth to every line etched on paper. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of textures - from the wrinkles on the old woman's face to each individual coin held by the boy. Through this artwork, Cavalli invites us into a world where faith intertwines with financial matters. It serves as a reminder that spirituality can coexist harmoniously with practical concerns like money management. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece offers viewers an opportunity to delve into Italian heritage while contemplating timeless themes such as religion, aging, and intergenerational connections.
