EDITORS COMMENTS
New Moat of the Fortifications in Taranto, 1778: A Picturesque Scene from Louis Ducros's Italian Voyage This drawing by Louis Ducros, created in 1778, depicts the New Moat of the fortifications in Taranto, Italy. The scene is taken from the album 'Voyage to Italy, Sicily and Malta,' a visual record of Ducros's travels during the Romantic Era. The image captures the serene beauty of the Ionian Sea as it meets the Mar Piccolo, with the Aragonese Castle standing proudly on the left. The castle, a symbol of Taranto's rich history, is connected to the mainland by a series of bridges, creating an intriguing contrast between land and water. Four men are shown in the foreground, engaged in various activities. One man is busy sketching in a sketchbook, while another is deep in thought, perhaps admiring the view. Two other men are seen in the distance, approaching the castle, adding a sense of arrival and discovery to the scene. The drawing is executed in chalk on paper, with delicate touches of watercolor adding depth and color to the image. The use of chalk creates a sense of texture and depth, while the watercolor enhances the natural beauty of the scene. The New Moat of Taranto, with its impressive fortifications and picturesque setting, has been a subject of fascination for travelers and artists alike for centuries. Ducros's drawing offers a unique perspective of this geographical feature, capturing the essence of the Romantic Era and the spirit of exploration and discovery.
