EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the vibrant and enchanting Carnival of Venice in the 18th century. Taken from "Thesaurus Antiquitatum et Historiarum Italiae, vol. IX, 1722" by Pieter van der Aa, this image captures the essence of this cultural event with its rich heritage. The scene unfolds in Piazza San Marco, where St. Mark's Basilica stands proudly against a backdrop of bustling crowds and architectural marvels. The grandeur of Chiesa D'Oro adds to the majestic atmosphere as people gather in their elaborate fancy dress costumes. Amidst the lively parade, acrobats showcase their skills while musicians fill the air with melodious tunes that echo through the streets. Clowns entertain onlookers with their playful antics, adding an element of joy and laughter to this religious celebration rooted in Christianity. Masks play a significant role during Carnival as they allow individuals to shed their everyday identities and embrace anonymity for a brief moment. This tradition has deep roots in Venetian culture dating back to Byzantine times when Venice was known as Byzantium or Byzantine Empire. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing engraving brought to life by Pieter van der Aa's artistry, we are transported into a world where history intertwines with entertainment and religion merges with festivity. It serves as a testament to the enduring allure of Venice, Italy - a city that continues to captivate visitors from around
