EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable scene from the 15th-century French School's interpretation of Giovanni Boccaccio's "De Claris Mulieribus". The image, titled "Ms Fr 12420 fol. 71 Tanaquil weaving" transports us back in time to witness the ancient art of weaving come to life. In this illuminated manuscript, we see Tanaquil, wife of Tarquinius Priscus, the fifth king of Rome. With delicate precision and skillful hands, she sits at her loom, passionately engaged in the creation of a textile masterpiece. The vibrant colors and intricate details captured on vellum highlight not only her expertise but also her dedication to preserving this age-old craft. Tanaquil's story is one intertwined with strength and resilience. As Festus recounts, she even changed her name to Gaia Cirillo upon arriving in Rome. This act symbolizes her adaptability and determination as she navigates through different phases of life. Beyond its historical significance, this image resonates with themes that transcend time: feminism and empowerment. Through Tanaquil's depiction as a master weaver, we are reminded of women's contributions throughout history – their creativity, ingenuity, and ability to shape their own destinies. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork from Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France; let it serve as an inspiration for us all – a reminder that every thread woven represents our unique stories interwoven into the fabric
