EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Alessandro Longhi, we are transported back to the vibrant world of 18th-century carnival festivities. The focal point of the image is Clara, a majestic Indian rhinoceros, standing proudly in the foreground. Her keeper stands beside her, holding her horn and a whip, symbolizing both control and admiration for this magnificent creature. Surrounding Clara are various spectators wearing Carnival masks, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. Among them is Pulcinella, a famous character from Commedia dell'arte theater tradition. This juxtaposition between real-life spectacle and theatrical performance highlights the unique blend of reality and fantasy that characterized Italian culture during this time period. The etching beautifully captures not only the exotic allure of Clara but also provides us with a glimpse into daily life in 18th-century Italy. People from all walks of life come together to witness this unusual sight - men and women alike are drawn to Clara's presence. This print serves as a testament to our fascination with nature's wonders while also reflecting on human curiosity throughout history. It reminds us that even centuries ago, tourism was thriving as people sought out extraordinary experiences like encountering Clara up close. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art today, Longhi's work continues to captivate viewers with its timeless appeal and ability to transport us back in time.
