EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artwork titled "A Boy Holding a Pear (Giacomo Piazzetta?)" by the renowned Italian artists Giovanni Battista Piazzetta. Created around 1737, this masterpiece is executed using black and white chalk on blue-gray paper, spanning an impressive size of 39.2 x 30.9 cm. The composition depicts a young boy delicately cradling a pear in his hands, evoking a sense of innocence and curiosity. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings the scene to life, capturing the texture of the fruit's skin and the boy's tender grasp with astonishing precision. While there remains some speculation about whether Giacomo Piazzetta was indeed responsible for this artwork or if it was created by Giovanni Battista himself, one cannot deny its artistic brilliance. Both artists were celebrated during their time for their exceptional talent in portraiture and genre painting. This striking image invites viewers into a world where simplicity meets elegance, as we witness this young boy cherishing nature's bounty. The monochromatic palette adds depth and contrast to the piece while emphasizing its timeless beauty. As part of the Liszt Collection, this print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate every intricate stroke made by either Giacomo or Giovanni Battista Piazzetta without commercial intentions but rather as an opportunity to delve into their artistic legacy that continues to inspire generations today.
