EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the poignant moment when King Francis II of Naples and Queen Maria Sofia leave Gaeta after the Siege of Gaeta in 1860. The image, originally published in The Illustrated News of the World on March 2, 1861, shows the royal couple departing on a boat from the coast of Italy.
The scene is filled with emotion as the King and Queen bid farewell to their beloved kingdom of Two Sicilies. Their expressions are somber yet dignified, reflecting the weight of their defeat and exile. The intricate details in this engraving bring to life the historical significance of this event.
As they sail away from Gaeta, one can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era of monarchy and maritime grandeur. The coastline serves as a dramatic backdrop to this pivotal moment in Italian history.
This print not only captures a specific historical event but also evokes larger themes such as power, loss, and resilience. It invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of royalty and politics during the tumultuous 19th century in Europe.
Overall, this engraving is a powerful reminder of how art can preserve moments in time and transport us back to significant events that have shaped our world.
