EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the breathtaking view of the Loggia degli Osii, a historic Gothic portico and loggia located in the facade of the Palazzo degli Anziani in Milan, Italy. Dating back to the 14th century, the Loggia was commissioned by Matteo I Visconti, the Podesta of Milan, in 1321. The loggia served as a gathering place for the city's administration and was a symbol of the Visconti family's power and wealth. The intricately detailed engraving showcases the Loggia's elegant architecture, with its arched windows, intricate stonework, and grand staircase leading up to the palace. The loggia's name, "Osii," is believed to derive from the Latin word for "eyes," reflecting the open design that allows for a clear view of the courtyard below. This engraving is taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1845. Ferrario was a renowned antiquarian and collector of historical costumes, and this work was one of the most comprehensive and accurate records of European and non-European costume history at the time. The engraving's handcolouring adds a vibrant and lifelike quality to the image, making it a valuable historical and artistic document. The Loggia degli Osii remains an important cultural and historical landmark in Milan, attracting visitors from around the world who are drawn to its beauty and rich history. This engraving offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 14th century and the world of the Visconti family and their magnificent palace.
