EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century drawing by Louis Ducros, titled 'View of the port of Bari on the south side' (1778), offers a glimpse into the bustling maritime activity of the Italian city of Bari during the Romantic Era. The panoramic scene, taken from the album 'Voyage to Italy, Sicily and Malta,' is rendered in chalk on paper, with delicate shading and fine detail. The harbor teems with boats and ships of various sizes, their sails billowing in the wind, as they await their next voyage. The harbor wall, a protective barrier against the Adriatic Sea, is lined with people, both men and women, engaged in the hustle and bustle of trade and transportation. Children play in the foreground, adding a touch of innocence and charm to the scene. The drawing captures the rich heritage and history of Bari, a city located in the Apulia region of Italy. The view showcases the city's skyline, with its distinctive buildings and towers, as well as the picturesque background of the Adriatic Sea and the surrounding hills. The use of chalk on paper lends a subtle, yet striking, color palette, enhancing the overall romantic and nostalgic feel of the image. Louis Ducros, a Swiss artist, skillfully captured this moment in time, providing us with a window into the past and a reminder of the importance of maritime trade and transportation during the 18th century. The drawing is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the Italian landscape and the enduring allure of the sea.
