EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor drawing and ink print showcases the intriguing customs of Venetian women in the 17th - 18th century. The artist, Jan van Grevenbroeck, beautifully captures a unique method employed by these women to lighten their hair under the warm embrace of the sun. In this enchanting scene, we witness a graceful Venetian woman basking in sunlight, her lustrous locks cascading down her shoulders. With an air of elegance and sophistication, she sits amidst a picturesque backdrop that epitomizes the charm of Venice. The technique depicted here is both fascinating and innovative. These resourceful women would spend hours outdoors, allowing their hair to naturally bleach under the gentle rays of sunshine. This natural lightening process was not only practical but also added a touch of allure to their appearance. Van Grevenbroeck's attention to detail is evident as he masterfully portrays every strand of hair with delicate brushstrokes. The soft hues and subtle shading create a sense of depth and realism that transports us back in time. As we admire this exquisite artwork from centuries past, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage preserved within museums like Museo Correr in Venice. It serves as a testament to the ingenuity and beauty found in even everyday practices such as hair care rituals. Giancarlo Costa's reproduction allows us to appreciate this historical gem while paying homage to Venetian traditions that have stood the test of time.
