EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing view over Taranto harbour, showcasing the bustling commercial activities that defined the city in the 18th century. Painted by Jacob-Philippe Hackert in 1798, this detail of his larger painting depicts workers and people adorned in traditional dress, adding an authentic touch to the scene. The harbor comes alive with dockers unloading goods from ships while a cart pulled by oxen traverses the busy docks. The vibrant street scene showcases daily life as merchants go about their business amidst a backdrop of bridges and buildings. The presence of animals such as beef-coupled oxen adds an element of rustic charm to this lively port. Hackert's masterful brushstrokes beautifully capture every intricate detail, bringing this historical moment to life. The artist's attention to human figures and their attire provides insight into Sicilian culture during that time period. Displayed at Palazzo Reale in Caserta, Italy, this painting offers viewers a glimpse into Taranto's rich maritime history. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully photographed this artwork, preserving its beauty for generations to come. As you admire this remarkable print, let your imagination transport you back to 18th-century Taranto – where commerce thrived and tradition flourished against the picturesque backdrop of one of Italy's most important harbors.
