EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of the Island of Tortosa in Syria, as seen from Views in the Ottoman Dominions. Created by Luigi Mayer in 1810, this coloured aquatint showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The image transports us to a moonlit night on the shores of Tartus, where a majestic ship gracefully sails along the coastline. The sheer cliffs rise dramatically from the sea, creating a striking contrast against the calmness of the water. The nocturnal ambiance adds an air of mystery and tranquility to this enchanting scene. Tortosa's port is depicted with precision, highlighting its importance as a maritime hub during that era. The shoreline stretches out into the distance, inviting our imagination to wander beyond what meets our eyes. This remarkable piece belongs to The Stapleton Collection and is now part of a private collection. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in providing us with glimpses into life during Ottoman rule. Bridgeman Images has preserved this masterpiece for all art enthusiasts to appreciate and cherish. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of both nature's grandeur and humanity's ability to capture it through artistry.
