EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Gypsy reading in hand - in 'Custom of the Kingdom of Naples'" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment shrouded in mystery and intrigue. The unknown artist skillfully portrays a young girl, her face etched with misery and poverty, seeking answers from a gypsy clairvoyant. The engraving focuses on the delicate hands of both figures; one belonging to the desperate girl yearning for guidance, while the other belongs to the enigmatic gypsy woman who holds within her palm the power to predict fate. The lines on their hands tell stories untold, secrets waiting to be revealed. In this image, we witness not only an exchange between two individuals but also a collision of worlds. It is a meeting point where hope meets skepticism as charlatanry dances with genuine belief. The contrast between these two characters highlights societal divisions – one born into privilege and another condemned by pauperism. As we delve deeper into this artwork by Giancarlo Costa, we are reminded that despite our differences in fortune or background, there is an innate human desire for understanding and control over our destinies. This print serves as a timeless reminder that even amidst hardship and uncertainty, people will always seek solace in ancient traditions like palmistry – searching for answers written within their own bodies.
