EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 14th century, where we witness a man on a quest for truffles. Taken from the illuminated manuscript "Tacuinum sanitatis" this image showcases the intricate artistry of an unknown artist from that era. The scene depicts a lush landscape, with rolling hills and vibrant vegetation. The man is portrayed in meticulous detail, dressed in attire typical of the Middle Ages. With his focused gaze and determined posture, he exemplifies the spirit of exploration and discovery. Truffles, prized delicacies known for their unique flavor and aroma, take center stage in this composition. These elusive fungi have long been associated with health benefits and are considered a symbol of nature's bounty. The illumination technique used by the artist adds depth and richness to every element within the frame. It beautifully captures both the beauty of nature and human curiosity during this period. As we admire this artwork today, it serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with food, medicine, and our connection to nature throughout history. Giancarlo Costa's skillful reproduction ensures that this timeless piece continues to inspire awe and appreciation for centuries to come.
