EDITORS COMMENTS
This self-portrait, captured in an etching by Ferdinando Galli da Bibiena, transports us back to the Baroque era of 18th-century Italy. With his curly hair framing his face and a confident gaze, the artist presents himself as both architect and subject. The intricate details of this print are truly remarkable, showcasing Bibiena's skill not only as an architect but also as an illustrator. Published in Bologna as part of a treatise on various artistic disciplines including geometry, civil architecture, perspective, painting, and theatrical scenes, this self-portrait serves as a testament to Bibiena's multifaceted talent. The roundel frame adds a touch of elegance and highlights the importance placed on aesthetics during that time period. As we admire this piece from the Stapleton Collection in all its glory, it is evident that Bibiena was not just any ordinary architect; he was an artist who understood the power of visual representation. Through this self-portrait illustration from "L'Architettura Civile" we catch a glimpse into his world - one where creativity seamlessly merged with technical expertise. Let us delve into this mesmerizing artwork and appreciate how it encapsulates the essence of Italian Baroque artistry while simultaneously revealing aspects of Bibiena's own personality and profession.
