EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Portrait of Domenico Angelo, Italian sword and fencing master" showcases the esteemed figure in all his glory. Created by Thomas Rowlandson in 1787, this print captures the essence of Domenico Angelo's expertise and influence as a renowned fencing instructor. Domenico Angelo (1717-1802), also known as Angelo Domenico Malevolti Tremamondo, was not only a master swordsman but also an influential teacher who imparted his knowledge to gentlemen from various walks of life. His illustrious list of students included royalty, artists like Joshua Reynolds and Thomas Gainsborough, as well as notable figures such as George Stubbs, David Garrick, Casanova, and the Chevalier d'Eon. In this engraving from Mr. Domenico Angelos' book "The School of Fencing" we see Angelo himself posing for the illustrations that would accompany his teachings. The intricate copperplate engraving brings out every detail with precision and elegance. With swords crossed in mid-air against a backdrop reminiscent of a battle scene, this image symbolizes conflict and confrontation—the very essence of fencing itself. It encapsulates the intensity and skill required to excel in this combat sport. This print serves not only as a tribute to Domenico Angelo's legacy but also highlights the significance of swordsmanship during the 18th century. It is a testament to both British culture at that time and European martial arts traditions. Displayed within private collections worldwide today, this remarkable piece continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
