EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases the bustling activity of Italian ports in the 17th and 18th centuries. Titled "Port with merchants and sailing ships Italian ports (series title) Aliqui Portus" it offers a glimpse into the vibrant maritime trade that defined these coastal cities. In this particular image, we are transported to a harbor scene where foreign merchants dominate the foreground on the left. Dressed in their distinctive attire, they engage in lively conversations and negotiations, exemplifying the cosmopolitan nature of these trading hubs. Meanwhile, on the right side of the frame, a man can be seen diligently moving a barrel, symbolizing both labor and commerce. In the background, another group of merchants is busy loading goods onto a majestic sailing ship ready for its next voyage across vast seas. The artist behind this masterpiece is Johannes Gronsveld from Amsterdam. His meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique on paper. The print measures 156 mm by 242 mm, allowing viewers to appreciate even the minutest elements within this dynamic composition. As we delve deeper into this fifth installment from Gronsveld's twelve-part series depicting various Italian ports, we are reminded of how crucial harbors were as epicenters for international trade during this era. This artwork encapsulates not only historical significance but also serves as an exquisite visual testament to human ingenuity and exploration.
