EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating 1883 art piece by American artist Frank Duveneck, transports us back in time to the bustling heart of Venice, Italy. This exquisite drypoint etching on cream wove paper offers a monochromatic yet richly detailed depiction of the iconic Piazza San Marco, or Saint Mark's Square. Duveneck masterfully captures the essence of this historic city center, where the ancient architecture of St. Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace stand proudly against the backdrop of a clear, blue Italian sky. The square comes alive with the presence of figures – men in hats and women in long skirts, children playing and birds perched on the railings. A man in a red vest is depicted feeding the birds, adding a touch of warmth and familiarity to the scene. The artist's use of drypoint etching technique adds texture and depth to the print, with the intricate lines and subtle tonal variations bringing the piazza to life. The etching is a testament to Duveneck's exceptional artistic skill and his ability to capture the beauty and charm of this famous European location. This rare and antique print is a valuable addition to any art collection, offering a glimpse into the history and culture of Venice during the 19th century. It has been exhibited in various galleries and museums, including the Art Institute of Chicago, and is now part of the Keystone Archives. Piazza San Marco is not only a beautiful work of art but also a historical document that transports us to a bygone era.
