About the Item
Title: Roman Carnival Horse Race & Festive Corso - 1820 Etching
Description: This dynamic 1820 etching, titled "Horse Race at Rome, in Carnival," vividly captures the exhilarating atmosphere of a Roman carnival along the bustling Strada del Corso, as indicated by the sign in the background. The scene centers on a thrilling horse race, with riderless horses galloping through the street, their energy palpable as they charge forward, adorned with colorful saddles. Surrounding them is a lively crowd of revelers, many in elaborate carnival costumes, ranging from bears and jesters to elegantly dressed figures in historical attire, reflecting the festive spirit of the event. Spectators lean from balconies draped with red and yellow fabric, cheering and waving, while others gather at windows marked with signs like "Café" and "Trionfo di Pezzi," adding a sense of place and festivity to the scene. The architecture of Rome, with its classic buildings, frames the celebration, grounding the event in its historical context.
The artwork reflects the early 19th-century European fascination with Italian traditions, particularly the Roman carnival, which was a major cultural event drawing international attention. Published in London in 1820 by Ackermann & Joy, as noted at the bottom ("London Pub. Jan 1820 by Ackermann & Joy"), this etching highlights the global appeal of such scenes, which were often reproduced for collectors eager to experience the vibrancy of Italian festivals through art. The detailed costumes, animated horses, and bustling crowd showcase the artists’ skill in capturing movement and merriment, with delicate lines and soft coloring that bring the carnival to life. This piece is a captivating historical artifact, ideal for collectors of cultural art or those enchanted by Rome’s festive heritage, offering a glimpse into the city’s past and the timeless excitement of carnival celebrations.
