EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent "Machina della cocchagna" monument, a grand spectacle commissioned by Michael Friedrich Graf von Althann, Viceroy of the Kingdom of Naples. Created to honor Empress Elisabeth Christine on her name day in 1722, this elaborate structure stands proudly in the square of the royal palace. The etching captures every intricate detail of this monumental artwork, crafted by master artists Blasio Michelangelo de and Francesco de Grado. The inscription reveals that it was erected under the guidance of Cardinal Michele Federico d'Althann, who served as lieutenant and captain general in the kingdom. With its ornate design and majestic presence, this Cuccagna monument symbolizes both opulence and celebration. Its purpose was to glorify Empress Elisabetta Christina's illustrious name while also paying homage to her reign as queen consort of Spain. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece through time's lens, we are transported back to that fateful August day in 1722 when crowds gathered around this remarkable creation. It serves as a reminder not only of past grandeur but also of human creativity and devotion. The Liszt Collection has preserved this extraordinary moment for us all to admire—a testament to our shared history and appreciation for artistry that transcends generations.
