EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Trionfi sugar sculptures personifying virtues, created for a grand banquet held in Rome on January 14,1687. The masterful design was commissioned by Roger Palmer, Earl of Castlemaine and British Ambassador at the time, to impress his esteemed guests. Crafted by renowned artists Giovanni Battista Lenardi and Arnold van Westerhout, this artistic masterpiece captures the essence of monarchial happiness. Intricately carved nymphs are depicted seated gracefully before majestic palm trees - symbols of victory and also representing the heraldic emblem of Roger Palmer's family. Each nymph embodies a specific virtue deemed essential for a prosperous monarchy. This elaborate display serves as an allegorical representation of the ideals cherished during that era. The etching itself is a testament to John Michae Wright's exceptional talent as it beautifully captures every delicate detail with precision and finesse. The composition is harmonious, evoking both awe and admiration from those who gaze upon it. Preserved through time, this remarkable print offers us a glimpse into history - an opulent moment frozen forever in artistry. It reminds us of the importance placed on virtues within society during that period while showcasing the mastery achieved by these skilled artisans.
