EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Trionfi sugar sculptures of Cybele and Juno, created for a grand banquet hosted by British Ambassador Roger Palmer, Earl of Castlemaine, in Rome on January 14,1687. The exquisite table sculptures were designed to impress and delight the guests attending this prestigious event. In this particular composition captured by John Michae Wright and etched by Arnold van Westerhout, we see two goddesses personifying Earth and Air. They are part of an allegorical representation of the Four Elements that also includes sculptures of Vulcan and Neptune. The attention to detail is remarkable as each sculpture exudes grace and elegance. The craftsmanship involved in creating these sugar sculptures is truly awe-inspiring. Giovanni Battista Lenardi's artistic vision shines through his delicate design, while Arnold van Westerhout's skillful etching brings it to life on paper. This print not only captures a momentous occasion but also serves as a testament to the artistry and creativity prevalent during this period. It allows us to appreciate the intricate beauty that was once displayed at lavish banquets held for esteemed dignitaries. As we gaze upon this image from the Liszt Collection, we can't help but marvel at how art transcends time, allowing us a glimpse into history's most opulent events.
