EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stunning beauty of Ischia, an island in the Gulf of Naples. The focal point of the image is the caldera just before it meets the sea, creating a breathtaking entrance to this coastal paradise. To the right stands the majestic Royal Palace, adorned with additions by Prince Alfonso Maria di Borbone. The artist, Giacinto Gigante, skillfully depicts this scene using pencil, watercolor, and gouache on paper. His attention to detail is evident in every stroke as he brings to life the natural wonders of Ischia's landscape. The composition showcases not only the volcanic craters and lakes but also highlights the picturesque coastline that stretches along its shores. It is worth noting that Ferdinand II commissioned a channel to be cut through this area in July 1853 under his orders. This significant historical event adds depth and context to Gigante's artwork. This particular print comes from a private collection and bears Giacinto Gigante's signature along with a date stamp from 1853. A similar version of this painting was exhibited at Porro & C. Milano but featured two additional figures on the left side without the rowing barge seen here. Overall, this remarkable piece invites viewers into a world where nature meets royalty and where land merges seamlessly with sea – truly capturing Ischia's timeless allure.
