1746 Arranged Cafe Carnival Entrance Keys Lady Meeting Pietro Longhi Vendor Venice Wears Falca Lace Veil Tricorn Hat Tryst
Meeting 1746 - A Captivating Glimpse into Venetian Carnival Culture
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This oil canvas print, titled "Meeting 1746" offers a fascinating glimpse into the vibrant world of Venetian carnival in the mid-18th century. Painted by Pietro Longhi, an esteemed Italian artist known for his detailed and lively scenes, this artwork measures 24 x 19 1/2 inches (61 x 49.5 cm) and is brought to life by Artokoloro. The scene unfolds at the entrance of a bustling café during carnival season. The tryst appears to be arranged as a gentleman extends his hand with keys towards a lady elegantly dressed in traditional attire. She wears a bauta, a half mask that covers her face while allowing her identity to remain concealed. Her lace veil adds an air of mystery and allure to her appearance, complementing the intricate details of her costume. Intriguingly, another figure catches our attention - a vendor selling theater boxes nearby. This suggests that this rendezvous may have been planned within the context of attending one of Venice's famous theatrical performances during carnival time. Longhi masterfully captures both the excitement and secrecy surrounding these encounters against the backdrop of Venice's enchanting atmosphere. Through skillful brushstrokes and meticulous attention to detail, he transports us back in time to experience firsthand the intrigue and romance that permeated Venetian society during this era. With its rich historical significance
