EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative etching by Marco Ricci, titled "Landscape with Ruins and a Headless Statue," dates back to the 1720s and offers a captivating glimpse into the past. The image, reminiscent of the Italian Baroque tradition, transports us to an overgrown landscape in America, likely representing the ruins of a once-grand military encampment or colonial settlement. The headless statue in the foreground, a solitary figure amidst the wild growth, adds an air of mystery and intrigue. The use of black and white contrasts effectively highlights the textures and forms of the landscape, from the intricate details of the statue to the rough bark of the trees and the craggy rocks. The image invites us to ponder the passage of time and the transience of human endeavors, as well as the rich history of both Italy and America. This etching, a masterpiece by the Italian artist Marco Ricci, is now part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and intrigue visitors from around the world.
