EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Baron Philip von Stosch showing an antique gem to Sabbatini" takes us back to the 17th century, immersing us in a world of art and antiquities. The pen and ink drawing by Pier Leone Ghezzi beautifully captures the essence of this historical moment. In the image, Baron Philip von Stosch, a Prussian antiquarian residing in Rome and Florence, is seen eagerly presenting an exquisite antique gem to Marcantonio Sabatini. As they stand together in what appears to be a study or salon, their expressions reveal a sense of delight and fascination. Von Stosch's animated gestures suggest his passion for collecting precious jewels while Sabbatini attentively scrutinizes the gem with slavering anticipation. This satirical caricature serves as both social commentary and a testament to the rococo era's love for all things extravagant. The artist skillfully portrays these connoisseurs of art as they indulge in their shared obsession for rare treasures. The attention to detail in this full-length sketch is remarkable; every stroke brings life to each character's personality. This piece offers viewers a glimpse into the world of 18th-century collectors who reveled in acquiring valuable artifacts from history. Reproduced with permission from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees, this print allows us to appreciate not only Ghezzi's artistic talent but also the rich cultural heritage preserved within The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth House.
