EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming 19th-century print titled "Don Michele Preparing for his Triumphal Expedition, from Naples and the Campagna" we are transported to a picturesque Italian countryside. Created by Thomas Rowlandson, an acclaimed British artist, this hand-colored etching captures a delightful scene filled with humor and character. The focal point of the image is Don Michele, an Italian gentleman known for his eccentricities. With great attention to detail, Rowlandson portrays him sitting on a stool in front of a quaint country house. Don Michele is engrossed in sewing stockings, showcasing his unexpected talent for needlework. This comical sight elicits laughter as it challenges traditional gender roles. Surrounded by lush greenery and rolling hills, the setting exudes tranquility and serenity. A female companion stands nearby observing Don Michele's unusual pastime with amusement. The vibrant colors used in this hand-tinted aquatint bring life to every element of the composition. This print not only showcases Rowlandson's artistic prowess but also provides us with insight into daily life during that era. It serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of travel and exploration as well as the universal nature of human quirks and idiosyncrasies. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its whimsical charm and timeless depiction of cultural exchange between Britain and Italy in the early 19th century.
