Plate 5 - The Doge in the Bucintoro Departing for the Porto di Lido on Ascension Day, ca. 1766
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous scene from Venice's rich history. Depicting an engraving by Giovanni Battista Brostoloni, it showcases the grandeur of the Ducal Ceremonies and Festivals that took place during the 18th century. In this particular image, we witness a significant event known as Ascension Day. The Doge, accompanied by a multitude of gondolas and boats, is seen departing from the majestic Doge's Palace in his magnificent barge called Bucintoro. As he sets sail towards Porto di Lido, crowds gather along the banks of the iconic Grand Canal to witness this extraordinary spectacle. The cityscape comes alive with architectural marvels such as bell towers and campaniles that punctuate its skyline. The intricate details captured by Antonio Canaletto's skilled hand transport us back in time to experience both the beauty of Venice's landscape and its vibrant cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable etching and engraving at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are reminded of Italy's rich Christian traditions intertwined with its maritime prowess. This artwork serves as a testament to Venice's significance as a hub for trade, marriage celebrations, and religious ceremonies. Giovanni Battista Brostoloni has masterfully immortalized this historic moment through his artistry, allowing us to appreciate not only his talent but also our shared human history embedded within each stroke of his work.
