EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, created by the skilled hand of Abraham Louis Rodolphe Ducros in 1778, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the medieval castle in the heart of Gozo, Malta. The drawing is taken from Ducros' album, "Voyage to Italy, Sicily and Malta," and showcases the intriguing damage and inscriptions bricked into the castle wall. The chalk on paper drawing, with its close-up, panoramic perspective, invites viewers to explore the intricacies of the fortification's exterior. The bricks, weathered by time and the elements, bear the marks of a past long gone, while the inscriptions, etched into the stone, hint at the castle's storied history. The castle, a testament to the Maltese heritage, stands proudly against the backdrop of a clear, blue sky. The damage to the image, with its cracked and faded areas, adds to the drawing's allure, emphasizing the passage of time and the castle's enduring presence. Ducros, a Swiss artist, captures the romanticism of the era with his skillful use of color and composition. The drawing's letterbox format, reminiscent of a journal or a travelogue, transports viewers to a bygone era, inviting them to imagine the stories that lie behind the inscriptions and the damage on the castle wall. This intriguing image, with its damaged image and inscriptions bricked into the wall of the castle in Gozo, is a valuable addition to any art or history collection, offering a unique perspective into the past and the enduring beauty of European architecture.
