EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Plate 2 of the magnificent Palazzo Milesi in Rome, dating back to the Baroque era. The image captures the trophies of Roman arms that adorn the decorations above the windows on the second floor. Created by Giovanni Battista Galestruzzi, this etching pays homage to Polidoro da Caravaggio's original work from 1656-58. The attention to detail is remarkable as each element comes to life in this close-up shot. The intricate engravings depict various military objects such as helmets, shields, arrows, and quivers. A majestic lion stands proudly amidst these symbols of war and warfare. This artwork represents not only a historical artifact but also embodies Italian heritage art at its finest. It transports viewers back in time, allowing them to appreciate the artistic mastery of Mannerism during the 17th century. Displayed within a prestigious museum like The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece serves as a testament to Caravaggio's influence on subsequent generations of artists like Galestruzzi.
