EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of July in all its glory. Titled "Allegories of the months, July: Borso d Este, prince of Ferrare arriving at the hunt" it transports us to a time when nobility and daily life intertwined seamlessly. Painted by Francesco del Cossa in 1469-70, this fresco adorns the walls of Palazzo Schifanoia in Ferrara, Italy. In this scene, we witness Prince Borso d Este's grand arrival at a hunting expedition. The prince exudes power and elegance as he sits atop his majestic steed, surrounded by his entourage. The horses neigh with anticipation while noble hunters prepare their weapons for an exhilarating chase through lush forests. However, what truly sets this artwork apart is its attention to detail and inclusion of everyday life elements. As Prince Borso embarks on his hunt, we catch glimpses of peasants diligently working nearby - a washerwoman immersed in her task symbolizes the labor that sustains society. Through this allegory, Cossa masterfully juxtaposes two contrasting worlds - that of privilege and hard work - within one frame. It serves as a reminder that even amidst opulence and leisurely pursuits like hunting, there are those who toil behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly. This print not only showcases artistic brilliance but also offers us a glimpse into history; it encapsulates both the extravagance enjoyed by nobility during summer months and the realities faced by ordinary
