EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century drawing by Louis Ducros captures the breathtaking view of the rock and town of Scilla, located in the Calabria region of Italy, as seen from the north over the Mediterranean Sea. Dated 1778, this chalk on paper sketch is part of Ducros' album "Voyage to Italy, Sicily and Malta." The artist skillfully renders the rugged cliffs and the fortified town with its imposing city walls and defensive fortresses, perched precariously on the headland. The town, with its red-tiled roofs, appears nestled between the rocky outcroppings and the clear blue waters of the strait. The natural beauty of the location is further enhanced by the contrasting colors of the cliffs, the town, and the sea. Louis Ducros, a Swiss artist, was known for his romantic depictions of landscapes and cityscapes during the Romantic Era. This drawing showcases his ability to capture the essence of a place and transport the viewer to another time and place. The image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history and heritage of Scilla and the Calabria region. Today, this drawing is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and serves as a reminder of the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Europe during the 18th century.
