EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed miniature from the 15th-century Spanish manuscript "Codex Benito de Santa Mora" depicting the iconic Trojan War. The image captures two significant elements of this ancient conflict - the city of Troy and the Greek encampment. The artist, Luisa Ricciarini, skillfully brings to life this mythological battle with her intricate illumination technique. The gothic style employed in this artwork adds an air of mystery and grandeur to the scene. In the foreground, we see a bustling military camp filled with tents and soldiers preparing for combat. This glimpse into the Greek encampment gives us a sense of their strategic planning and determination to conquer Troy. In contrast, towering in the background is Troy itself - a fortified city that has become synonymous with resilience against overwhelming odds. Its walls stand tall as if challenging any who dare approach its gates. This mesmerizing piece transports us back in time to witness one of history's most legendary conflicts. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with mythology and our enduring interest in tales of heroism, sacrifice, and war. Preserved within the Royal Library of Escorial Monastery in Spain, this exquisite miniature offers us an invaluable glimpse into medieval artistry while also immersing us in ancient Greek mythology.
