EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by Antonio Rotta that takes us back to the vibrant streets of 19th-century Europe. This lively scene, captured in intricate detail, showcases a bustling marketplace where humans and animals coexist harmoniously. The print depicts an array of characters engaged in their midday meal, creating a fascinating tableau filled with both humor and charm. In this delightful composition, monkeys playfully interact with dogs while carts laden with goods pass by. The presence of pets adds an endearing touch to the scene as they eagerly await their owners' attention during lunchtime. Amidst the animated chaos, individuals can be seen enjoying a momentary respite from their daily routines. One cannot help but notice the subtle inclusion of alcohol within this snapshot of everyday life – perhaps reflecting the social customs prevalent at that time. As people gather around makeshift tables or lean against barrels, they engage in convivial conversations over drinks. The ambiance exudes warmth and camaraderie as friends and acquaintances share stories and laughter amidst sips of their chosen beverages. Antonio Rotta's masterful engraving skillfully captures not only the physical details but also the spirit of this enchanting era. Through his artistry, we are transported back in time to witness a slice of history brimming with vitality and character. "Lunch Time" serves as a vivid reminder that even mundane moments can hold immense beauty when viewed through an artist's discerning eye.
