EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 16th century, immersing us in the vibrant atmosphere of an ancient hostelry. Reproduced from a woodcut found in a 1517 folio edition of Virgil's works, this image is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of that era. The interior depicted here is bustling with activity, offering us a glimpse into the daily lives of people during the Renaissance period. The attention to detail in this drawing is remarkable, as every element seems meticulously crafted. From the intricate illustrations on the walls to the ornate furniture and decor, it transports us into a world where elegance and opulence were highly valued. One cannot help but be drawn towards a group engaged in an intense game at one corner of this hostelry. Gambling was evidently popular during those times, adding an element of excitement and risk-taking to social gatherings. It serves as a reminder that human nature has always been driven by both leisurely pursuits and competitive instincts. As we admire this illustration from our modern standpoint, we are reminded once again how much history shapes our present-day society. This print not only captures an intimate moment within its frame but also invites us to reflect upon centuries-old customs and traditions that have influenced our own manners and customs today.
