EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to 14th century Italy, specifically Athens, where the mythical hero Theseus takes center stage. The image is a miniature from a French manuscript of the Book of Theseus/Theseid of the Nuptials of Emilia by Giovanni Boccaccio, dating back to 1339-1341. This facsimile captures the essence and intricacy of the original work. In this scene, we see Theseus sitting on a road surrounded by a lush floral pattern. He appears engaged in playfulness as he gestures towards something or someone outside our view. A majestic column and arch frame him beautifully against the backdrop of an ancient building exterior. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element tells its own story. A horse-drawn chariot stands nearby while a faithful dog accompanies Theseus faithfully at his side. Men and women are scattered throughout, some engrossed in reading books or playing musical instruments like trumpets. The composition exudes life and movement with its vertical orientation capturing both human activity and domestic animals going about their day. It's fascinating how this piece seamlessly blends decorative art with scenes from everyday life during that period. This print offers us an enchanting glimpse into history - a window into ancient mythology brought to life through skillful craftsmanship and artistic expression.
