EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Venetians wearing bauta masks in 18th century Italy, as depicted in a painting by Canaletto. The image transports us back to the enchanting streets of Venice during this era, where these mysterious and elegant masks were an integral part of Venetian culture. The individuals in the photograph are seen riding in a gondola, their identities concealed behind the iconic bauta masks. These masks were traditionally worn during public events and celebrations, allowing wearers to enjoy anonymity and freedom from social constraints. The elaborate costumes worn by the Venetians further enhance the sense of grandeur and opulence that characterized this period. Handcolored with meticulous attention to detail, this illustration by E. Lechevallier-Chevignard beautifully captures the essence of historical Venetian fashion. Lithographed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, F. Laguillermie for Georges Duplessis' renowned book "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles" it offers a glimpse into the rich sartorial heritage of centuries past. Georges Duplessis' expertise as curator at Bibliotheque nationale ensures that this image is not only visually stunning but also historically accurate. Meanwhile, Edmond Lechevallier-Chevignard's artistic prowess shines through his intricate illustrations. As we admire this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder's collection courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we are transported to a time when Venice was alive with masked revelry and vibrant cultural traditions – a testament to both its enduring allure and its unique place in history.
