EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1741, titled "Description et representation exacte de la maison de glace, construite a St. Petersbourg au mois de janvier 1740 et de tous les meubles quis y trouvoient" by Georg Wolfgang Krafft, takes us back in time to witness an extraordinary architectural marvel. The image showcases the intricate details of a magnificent ice house constructed in St. Petersburg during January 1740. The enchanting structure stands tall against the winter landscape, its icy walls glistening under the pale sunlight. Every aspect of this frozen masterpiece is meticulously captured in this print - from the delicate icicles hanging gracefully along the eaves to the ornate carvings adorning its facade. As we delve deeper into this visual feast for our eyes, we are transported inside the ice house itself. The artist's skillful hand reveals a stunning array of furniture that once graced these frosty chambers. Each chair and table seems to be sculpted entirely out of ice, their transparent forms reflecting light with ethereal beauty. Krafft's engraving not only offers us a glimpse into an architectural wonder but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity. It reminds us of our ability to transform even nature's most fleeting element - ice - into something truly remarkable. This historical artwork invites contemplation on how artistry can transcend time and capture moments that would otherwise be lost forever. As we admire this print from Liszt Collection
