🇲🇹 F'dan l-akkwarell, xi rġiel u ftit nisa minn klassijiet soċjali differenti jidhru miġburin quddiem il-monument ikoniku tal-Assedju l-Kbir fil-Belt Valletta, skolpit minn Antonio Sciortino. L-okkażjoni hi l-Otto Settembre (it-8 ta' Settembru), magħrufa wkoll bħala Jum il-Vitorja. Dakinhar hu l-anniversarju ta' meta t-Torok Ottomani ċedew u telqu minn Malta fl-1565, meta ntemmet il-Ħakma Franċiża fl-1800, u, mill-1943, meta Malta nfdiet mit-Tieni Gwerra Dinjija, li kienet ġabitha għarkupptejha.

Dan l-akkwarell kien fil-kollezzjoni ta' Dr Albert Ganado (1923–2025) u nxtara minn Heritage Malta waqt irkant li sar iktar kmieni din is-sena.

🇬🇧 In this watercolour, men and a few women of all classes gather before Antonio Sciortino’s iconic ‘Monument to the Fallen in the Great Siege’ in Valletta. The occasion is the Otto Settembre (8th September) or Victory Day anniversary marking the successful retreat of the Ottoman Turks in 1565. This day also commemorates the end of the French Occupation in 1800, and, after 1943, it became an annual occasion to honour Malta’s beaten but undefeated re-emergence during the Second World War.

This watercolour originated from the collection of the late Dr Albert Ganado (1923-2025) and was purchased by Heritage Malta at auction earlier this year.

🇲🇹 Dan l-akkwarell, 'Veduta tal-Belt Valletta mill-Gżira Manoel,' hu żieda ġdida fil-kollezzjoni tal-MUŻA. Huwa xogħol l-artisti Franċiż Orjentalist Jean Nicolas Henri de Chacaton, li kien żar Malta.

Il-mara, bi lbiesha eleganti, flimkien mal-kelb biswitha, jispikkaw u jistabbilixxu l-fond tal-veduta fl-isfond. Huma jidhru qed jixħtu ħarsithom 'il quddiem lejn il-Belt Valletta. Jidhru xi ftit ukoll il-voluti tal-bieb ewlieni tal-Forti Manoel, iħares lejn il-baħar. Dawn jindikaw li l-mara mhix magħrufa u l-kelb ta' magħha waqfu biex jammiraw is-sbuħija kollha li għandu x'joffri l-Port ta' Marsamxett.

Dan l-akkwarell oriġinarjament kien proprjetà ta' Dr Albert Ganado (1924–2025) u nxtara waqt irkant iktar kmieni din is-sena.

🇬🇧 This watercolour, 'View of Valletta from Manoel Island', has been a welcome addition to the MUŻA collection. It is by Jean-Nicolas-Henri de Chacaton, a French Orientalist artist who visited Malta.

The elegantly dressed woman and her dog anchor the foreground, thus setting the depth of the view. Ahead lies the profile of the Valletta promontory. In the middle distance, the barely visible crowning volutes of the seaward main portal of Fort Manoel act as the clue to where this unknown lady and her canine friend have stopped to admire all that Marsamxett Harbour has for the eyes to feast upon.

This watercolour originally belonged to Dr Albert Ganado (1924-2025) and was purchased at auction earlier this year.

🇲🇹 ⛈ Jekk it-temp qed iqabbdek attakk nervuż, dawn iż-żewġ pitturi jafu joffrulek ftit serħan. Is-sema u l-baħar Malti spiss għaddew minn taqlibiet kbar matul is-sekli. Minn dak iż-żmien 'l hawn, inbidlu ħafna affarijiet. Liema postijiet kapaċi tagħraf, u kif saru llum il-ġurnata?

(1): Attribwita lil Giuseppe Caloriti (ċ. 1733), Veduta tal-Belt u t-Tlett Ibliet
(2): Thomas Hyde Hornbrook (1787–1858), Veduta tad-Daħla tal-Port il-Kbir

🇬🇧 ⛈If the weather has been testing your patience lately, these two paintings offer some comfort. Malta’s skies and seas were just as tumultuous throughout the centuries. Plenty else has changed since then. Which landmarks can you recognise, and how do they compare with the views we know today?

(1): Attributed to Giuseppe Caloriti (c.1733), View of Valletta and the Three Cities
(2) : Thomas Hyde Hornbrook (1787-1858), View of Entrance to Grand Harbour
