EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Letter 1746" showcases the artistic brilliance of Pietro Longhi, a renowned Italian painter from Venice. The oil canvas measures 24 x 19 1/2 inches (61 x 49.5 cm), and it is skillfully brought to life by Artokoloro. In this intriguing artwork, an older man holds a coin in his hand as he negotiates with a procuress for favors on behalf of a pretty young woman. Meanwhile, the woman reads a letter with evident pleasure. This scene depicts the complex dynamics of Venetian society during the 18th century. Pietro Longhi was celebrated for his ability to chronicle contemporary society's foibles through his paintings. In "Letter 1746" he masterfully captures the nuances and intricacies of interpersonal relationships in Venice at that time. The dedication and truth behind Longhi's work are highly praised by Carlo Goldoni, a great Venetian playwright who recognized the artist's talent for portraying reality in its raw form. This print serves as both an aesthetic delight and an insightful glimpse into historical social dynamics. It allows viewers to immerse themselves in the vibrant world created by Pietro Longhi while contemplating themes such as power, desire, and societal norms that transcend time.
