EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Gioco Delle Donne, E Sue Facende (Game of Wives, And Their Chores)" captures a poignant scene from the 17th century. In this black and white etching by Giuseppe Maria Mitelli, we see a woman immersed in her daily household tasks while her husband brandishes a stick menacingly. The artwork sheds light on the issue of domestic abuse that was prevalent during that era. The image portrays the struggles faced by women who dedicated their lives to fulfilling their marital duties. Despite tirelessly tending to chores such as cooking, cleaning, and childcare, they were subjected to physical violence at the hands of their husbands. This disturbing reality is symbolized by the husband's threatening posture with a stick. Mitelli's artistic style adds depth to this narrative through intricate details. The room depicted showcases typical elements of domestic life in 17th-century Italy: a bedchamber with babies nestled in cribs, clothes hanging on a line outside the window, and pets roaming freely. These details emphasize how women had little respite from their responsibilities even within the confines of their own homes. This thought-provoking artwork serves as an important reminder of historical gender dynamics and highlights ongoing conversations surrounding domestic violence today. It prompts us to reflect on societal progress made since then while acknowledging that there is still work to be done towards achieving equality and eradicating abuse in all its forms.
