This delightful cover for Scena Illustrata from August 15, 1916, is yet another masterpiece by Ezio Anichini, blending the elegance of Art Nouveau with a Rococo influence. The focal point of the composition is a grand ornamental fountain, its water cascading gracefully against a backdrop of cypress trees and clouds, evoking a sense of tranquility and beauty. A stately woman in an elaborate Rococo-style gown and towering powdered wig stands to the right, gazing contemplatively at the fountain. Her dress, adorned with bows and intricate lace, reflects the opulence and refinement of 18th-century fashion, while the fountain represents timeless grandeur.
The muted pastel tones of green, cream, and burgundy lend a soft, dreamlike quality to the illustration, while the finely detailed scrollwork and framing elements around the title add a touch of ornate elegance, tying the whole design together in classic Art Nouveau style.
Oh, how delightfully elegant this cover is! We are transported, as if by magic, to a world of cascading fountains and powdered wigs—a world where grandeur and refinement are the orders of the day. Ezio Anichini has, with his usual brilliance, woven together the delicate artistry of Art Nouveau with the flamboyant grace of the Rococo era. The central fountain, its waters sparkling under a pastel sky, stands as a symbol of timeless elegance, its streams flowing gently as though in time with the breeze.
And what a charming figure we have here—a lady of the court, no doubt, adorned in all the fineries of her age. Her powdered wig rises high, her gown a confection of lace and ribbons, as she gazes thoughtfully at the fountain. It is as though she too has been swept into the tranquil serenity of the scene. The color palette, soft greens and delicate burgundy, is both soothing and sophisticated, perfectly complementing the ornate scrolls and decorative flourishes that frame the piece.
