EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white drawing by Louis Ducros, titled "Fountain of Arethusa with Source," dates back to 1778 and is taken from his album "Voyage to Italy, Sicily and Malta." The image depicts the picturesque Fountain of Arethusa located on the island of Ortigia in Syracuse, Sicily, Italy. The drawing showcases the tranquil scene of the fountain, with its crystal-clear waters cascading from a rocky cliffside into a serene pool below. The source of the spring is depicted as a young woman, with long curly hair and a flowing gown, emerging from the water. Children and local people are seen at the waterside, enjoying the natural phenomena as a pastime. Some are paddling in the shallow waters, while others are gathered around the fountain, perhaps taking a break from their daily routines to appreciate the beauty of the scene. The drawing is executed in chalk on paper, with delicate shading and attention to detail that brings the scene to life. Louis Ducros, a Swiss artist, captured this moment during his travels through Europe during the Romantic Era. The drawing reflects the romantic concept of the natural world and the desire to document and preserve the beauty of the places he visited. Today, this precious artwork is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the past.
