EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving by Corsi, taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" published in Florence in 1843, offers a captivating view of Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome. The exterior of Saint Peter's, with its grand facade and intricately designed dome, is depicted in all its glory. The basilica, a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture, stands proudly against a clear blue sky, its white walls adorned with frescoes and murals. In the foreground, the necropolis of Tarquinia, with its Etruscan tombs and figures, adds a sense of history and depth to the scene. The figures in the painting, dressed in the style of the second style of the Etruscans, are depicted with a Rod and fork, tools commonly used in Etruscan burials. The genii or spirits, represented as winged figures, hover above the scene, adding a mystical and otherworldly element. The size of the paintings in "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" was significant, allowing for intricate details to be captured in the engravings. The figures in this image are meticulously rendered, from the details of their clothing and accessories to the expressions on their faces. The ankle-length boots, worn by the manifestanti or demonstrators in the scene, are a testament to the attention to detail in this historical fashion illustration. This engraving is a beautiful representation of the intersection of history, art, and culture, offering a glimpse into the past and the people who lived there. The combination of the ancient and modern, as suggested by the title of the publication, adds a layer of complexity and intrigue to the image, making it a valuable historical and artistic document.
