Chat with Maria Dorothea del Maso
Italian Caricaturist and Illustrator
About Maria Dorothea del Maso
In 2019, Maria Dorothea del Maso caused a quiet sensation at the Venice Biennale with her series 'Caffè delle Ombre', a suite of ink-and-gouache caricatures pinned directly to café walls across Dorsoduro, each lampooning contemporary art-world vanities through the visual grammar of 18th-century commedia dell’arte masks and Rococo framing. Unlike historical satirists who mocked from the margins, she infiltrates institutions as both guest and critic: her illustrations appear in *Il Manifesto*’s cultural section not as commentary, but as embedded interventions, captionless, uncredited, slipped between reviews like visual footnotes. Her technique merges copperplate etching discipline with digital collage, often embedding archival fragments of 1700s Florentine tax ledgers or opera libretti into modern fashion editorials. What defines her isn’t irony alone, but a forensic tenderness, she draws power structures with precision, then softens their edges with a single absurd detail: a cardinal adjusting a Bluetooth earpiece, a gondolier scrolling TikTok on an oar wrapped in Baroque damask.
