EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white drawing, titled "Malta, Harbor of Valletta," dates back to the 17th century and is the collaborative work of two renowned Dutch artists, Abraham Storck and Willem Schellinks. The intricately detailed pen and ink drawing with brush and gray wash over graphite on ivory laid paper showcases the bustling harbor of Valletta, Malta, in 1695. The drawing masterfully captures the essence of the Maltese maritime scene, with a myriad of sailing ships of various sizes and shapes anchored in the harbor. The ships, with their sails billowing in the wind, evoke a sense of movement and activity. In the background, the imposing silhouette of the fortified city of Valletta rises majestically, its walls and towers reflecting in the calm waters of the harbor. The lighthouse at the entrance of the harbor stands proudly, guiding the sailors safely to shore. The drawing also reveals the importance of Valletta as a hub for transportation and trade during this period, with various boats and vessels transporting goods and people between the ships and the city. Abraham Storck, a Dutch artist known for his maritime and topographical drawings, and Willem Schellinks, a renowned engraver, collaborated on this stunning work. The drawing is a testament to their artistic skills and their ability to capture the beauty and dynamism of the Maltese harbor during the 17th century. Today, this precious drawing is housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to captivate and inspire art lovers from around the world. The intricate details and the timeless beauty of the drawing transport us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the rich maritime history of Malta.
