Plate 6 - The Tempest, 1743
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white etching by Davide Antonio Fossati, an Italian artist of the eighteenth century. This remarkable piece, housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, transports viewers to a stormy landscape filled with natural phenomena and metaphorical symbolism. In this print, we witness a tempestuous scene where wind-whipped rain pours down upon a rugged countryside. A horseman bravely rides through the tumultuous weather, his figure serving as a powerful metaphor for resilience in the face of adversity. Marco Ricci's influence can be seen in Fossati's depiction of dramatic landscapes and cascading waterfalls. The contrast between light and dark adds depth to this evocative composition. The monochromatic palette intensifies the sense of chaos while highlighting every intricate detail - from the flowing manes of horses to the cataract-like waterfall that dominates the background. Fossati masterfully captures both movement and stillness within this artwork. The swirling winds seem almost tangible as they whip through trees and stir up waves on the river below. Amidst it all, one cannot help but marvel at how nature's power can simultaneously inspire awe and fear. This print serves as a testament to Fossati's artistic prowess in capturing not only physical landscapes but also emotional atmospheres. It invites us to contemplate our own encounters with storms - both literal and metaphorical - reminding us that even amidst chaos, there is beauty
