Calais in 1538
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite xylography print from the Achille Bertarelli collection housed in the Civica Raccolta delle Stampe in Milan, Italy. This stunning panoramic view captures the bustling harbor town of Calais as it appeared over 480 years ago. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, bathing the quay in daylight and illuminating the vibrant colors of the buildings and ships. Xylography, a technique of printmaking using woodblocks, was a popular art form during the Renaissance period. This particular print showcases the intricate details and masterful craftsmanship of the Italian engravers of the time. The harbor is filled with a variety of ships, from small fishing boats to larger merchant vessels, all meticulously rendered with precise lines and shading. The town itself is a bustling hub of activity, with people going about their daily business along the quay. The buildings, with their colorful facades and intricate architectural details, line the shore and rise up the hillside, creating a sense of depth and perspective. The print also features a number of defensive structures, such as towers and walls, reflecting Calais's strategic importance as a fortified port town. This horizontal print, with its rich colors and intricate details, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the bustling harbor of Calais in 1538. The Achille Bertarelli collection, housed in the Civica Raccolta delle Stampe in Milan, is a treasure trove of such historical and artistic treasures, offering valuable insights into the art and culture of the past.
