About this work

Overview

Un Miracle [A Miracle] is an etching created by Mosè Bianchi in 1874, featuring a dramatic scene in a dimly lit, arched space.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts a chaotic moment: a horse-drawn cart has overturned, spilling occupants onto the floor, while onlookers observe from a doorway. The rough-hewn walls and stark lighting contribute to the tense atmosphere.

Technique & Style

Bianchi employed etching with aquatint on chine collé to achieve a richly textured, deeply shaded effect, evoking a sense of darkness and drama. The technique's characteristic carved lines and varied textures are evident throughout the work.
