EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing print captures a pivotal moment in the illustrious history of Venice. Depicting "The Two Foscari" an engraving by John Rogers Herbert, it transports us to the grandeur of 19th-century Italy. The scene unfolds within the opulent walls of the Doge's Palace, where the venerable Doge Foscari pronounces a heart-wrenching sentence upon his own son. As we gaze at this image, we are drawn into a world filled with passion, intrigue, and familial sacrifice.

Through this artwork, Herbert masterfully captures not only the emotions etched on their faces but also provides us with a glimpse into Italian society during this era. It is as if time has stood still for us to observe every intricate detail – from clothing styles to architectural splendor. "The Two Foscari" serves as a poignant reminder of Venice's rich cultural heritage while
