EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating glimpse into the city of Seville in 1590. The intricate map, created by an unknown artist from the 16th century, offers a wealth of historical and cultural details. However, it is the peculiar scene at the bottom right corner that steals one's attention. In this comical depiction, we witness a group of villagers indulging in traditional mockery and derision towards a cuckold riding on his trusty donkey. This age-old custom seems to be rooted in Spanish culture, where public humiliation was often used as a form of entertainment or punishment for perceived infidelity. The image captures not only the act itself but also highlights the importance placed on social norms and customs during that time period. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people found amusement in mocking others' misfortunes. Giancarlo Costa has skillfully preserved this intriguing piece of history through his expertly curated collection. As we delve into this engraving filled with laughter and ridicule, we are transported back to an era when traditions held great significance and societal norms were strictly adhered to. This remarkable photograph invites us to reflect on how our own customs have evolved over time while reminding us that human nature remains constant – finding humor even in moments of humiliation.
