EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A scene of necromancy" transports us back to the 18th century. The image depicts a mysterious gathering in which various figures are fixated on a burning pedestal holding a skull and limb bone. The composition is filled with intrigue as our eyes are drawn to the woman bearing a vessel, the turbaned man, and the soldier who all share an intense curiosity towards this macabre spectacle. Behind them, we catch a glimpse of a bearded male figure whose face remains partially hidden. This enigmatic presence adds an air of mysticism to the scene, leaving us wondering about his role in this dark ritual. Created by Italian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo as part of his series Turns of Fantasy (Scherzi di fantasia) between 1743-57, this etching showcases Tiepolo's mastery in capturing dramatic moments infused with symbolism. His attention to detail is evident in every element present - from the intricate headgear worn by some characters to the carefully rendered bones that burn before their eyes. Housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork invites viewers into a world where death intertwines with human fascination. It serves as both a reminder of our mortality and an exploration into ancient practices such as necromancy – summoning spirits or communicating with the dead. Tiepolo's work continues to captivate audiences centuries later, inviting us to ponder life's mysteries through his masterful storytelling and evocative
