Description
This set was commissioned by Miranda Publishers in 1990. The settings are unequivocally Maltese and most are recognisable today while the protagonists belong to an earlier age; the Age of Elegance full of powdered wigs, patches, silks and brocades! A whimsical journey back to what the artist, Kenneth Zammit Tabona, imagines would be 18th century Malta with costumes straight out of Favray and Zimelli and traditions by and large still very much alive today.
The original paintings have been faithfully reproduced in actual size printed individually on a proofing press in 6 colours and manage to convey the plethora of colour, richness of decoration and sumptuous detail of the originals.
