View of the city of Molfetta on the coast, 1778
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating chalk drawing by the Swiss artist Abraham Louis Rodolphe Ducros, showcased in his album "Voyage to Italy, Sicily and Malta." This exquisite artwork offers a glimpse into the picturesque Italian coastal town of Molfetta, located in the Bari province of Apulia, Italy, Europe. The drawing portrays a panoramic view of the city, nestled along the Adriatic Sea. The vibrant blue waters of the Adriatic Sea stretch out before the town, dotted with boats and ships, reflecting the clear, sunny sky above. The city's architecture is a delightful blend of pastel-colored buildings, with wooden structures and red-tiled roofs, creating an intricate mosaic against the backdrop of the sea. People can be seen going about their daily lives in the foreground, adding a touch of authenticity to the scene. A boat is anchored in the harbor, its sails rolled up, while another boat is making its way towards the shore, indicating the town's importance as a transportation hub. The meticulous attention to detail in the drawing is evident in the way the artist has captured the textures of the wooden boats, the intricate patterns of the roofs, and the ripples on the water's surface. The use of chalk on paper lends a soft, romantic quality to the artwork, making it a beautiful representation of the Italian Riviera during the 18th century. This drawing is a valuable addition to any collection of European art, particularly those focusing on the romantic era and the depiction of coastal landscapes. It is a testament to the artist's skill and the rich cultural heritage of Italy during this period. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is fortunate to have this drawing in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and history of Molfetta as it was seen over 200 years ago.
