EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite 18th-century print, we are transported back in time to the enchanting waters of Venice, Italy, where a gondolier skillfully navigates his traditional wooden vessel through the winding canals. The image is derived from a painting by the renowned Venetian artist Antonio Canaletto (1697-1768), whose mastery of capturing the city's unique architecture and atmosphere made him a leading figure of the Venetian school. The handcolored illustration, created by E. Lechevallier-Chevignard, adds an extra layer of vibrancy and detail to the original artwork. The gondolier, dressed in the traditional striped shirt and red waistcoat, expertly poles his gondola while his passenger, elegantly attired in the fashion of the time, gazes out at the picturesque scene. The intricate lithographs by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie further enhance the print's visual appeal, capturing the rich textures and colors of the Venetian scene. This print is a testament to the historical accuracy and artistic excellence of Georges Duplessis' "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries), published in Paris in 1867. The collection, which includes this Venetian gondolier print, is a valuable resource for fashion historians and enthusiasts, offering a glimpse into the sartorial trends and cultural traditions of the past. As we admire this image, we are reminded of the enduring allure of Venice and the rich history that continues to inspire and captivate us today. The gondolier and his passenger, with their timeless attire and serene surroundings, invite us to embark on a journey through history and imagination.
