EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a pivotal moment from Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales," specifically "The Clerk's Tale" - the story of Lord Walter of Saluzzo and Griselda. Dating back to 1387, this historical vignette transports us to the medieval world of nobility, love, and sacrifice. Lord Walter, a powerful and wealthy nobleman, is shown here in regal attire, his gaze fixed on the humble Griselda, who stands before him, her hands folded in submission. Griselda, a poor peasant girl, had been chosen by Walter to be his wife, despite her lowly status. Their union was met with disapproval from Walter's court, but the couple's unwavering love for each other remained steadfast. The tale unfolds with a series of tests designed to prove Griselda's devotion and obedience. Walter, seeking to prove his own power and dominance, orders Griselda to leave their home and live in poverty with her own parents. Griselda, who had given birth to their three children, obediently complies, never once questioning her husband's commands. Years later, Walter, feeling remorseful for his actions, summons Griselda back to his court. He presents her with her children, whom he had secretly kept under his care, and asks her to take them back. Griselda, once again, submits to her husband's will, demonstrating her unwavering love and devotion. This print, with its intricate details and rich colors, beautifully encapsulates the essence of this remarkable tale of love, sacrifice, and obedience. The image of Griselda, a poor girl from humble beginnings, standing before her powerful and wealthy husband, serves as a poignant reminder of the power of love and the depths of human devotion.
