Il Pecorone - Day IX, Novel I, The Master Thief
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph print that transports us to the 14th century. Created by Edward Robert Hughes in the late 19th century, this artwork beautifully illustrates a scene from "The Pecorone" a literary work by Ser Giovanni. In this image, we find ourselves immersed in a world of intrigue and cunning as we witness the master thief at work. With his nimble fingers and quick thinking, he effortlessly carries out his daring acts of theft. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this fictional character, portraying him with an air of mystery and mischief. The setting adds to the allure of the scene. A dimly lit room with a roaring fireplace and smoke billowing from the chimney creates an atmosphere filled with tension and secrecy. We can almost feel the cool night air seeping through cracks in ancient stone walls. This print not only showcases Hughes' artistic talent but also pays homage to Italian literature and medieval culture. It serves as a reminder of how storytelling has transcended time and continues to captivate audiences across centuries. As we gaze upon this lithograph print, we are transported back in time to an era where thieves roamed freely under cover of darkness. It reminds us that even within fiction lies elements of truth about human nature – our desires for adventure, our fascination with cleverness, and our ability to be both captivated by stories while simultaneously questioning their morality.
