About this work

This print shows a square set up for comic opera in the early 1800s. It’s not a painting—it’s a print, so it’s flat and sharp with clean lines. The artist, Galliari, made it in the early 19th century. The print captures the layout of an opera square, probably ready for a show. It’s a slice of social life from that time. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
