EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour drawing takes us back to the enchanting streets of 18th century Venice, where a Venetian courtesan graces us with her presence. The delicate strokes of the artist's brush bring to life the elegance and allure that defined these women of high society. Dressed in a flowing cape, she exudes an air of mystery as she walks through the narrow alleyways, her face veiled by a delicate fabric. Her posture is poised and graceful, reflecting the refined manners expected from a courtesan during this era. The artist, Jan van Grevenbroeck or Giovanni Grevembroch (Grevenbroch), captures not only her physical beauty but also hints at the complex customs and traditions that surrounded Venetian society. This exquisite piece is part of his manuscript titled "Customs of the Venitians" shedding light on the intricate world these women navigated. Displayed in Museo Correr in Venice, Italy, this artwork transports viewers back in time to witness a glimpse into one woman's life amidst opulence and societal expectations. Giancarlo Costa skillfully photographs this print, preserving its historical significance for generations to come. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of both the glamour and challenges faced by these courtesans who played such significant roles in shaping Venetian culture. It serves as a testament to their resilience and enduring legacy within Italian history.
