EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the exquisite Montauri birth tray, a remarkable piece of art created by the talented artist Bartolomeo di Fruosino. Crafted during the Renaissance period, this birth tray is an embodiment of fine art and cultural significance. The birth tray, also known as "deschi da parto" or "desco da parto" holds great historical importance in Italy. It was traditionally used to serve food during childbirth celebrations, symbolizing fertility and new beginnings. This particular masterpiece from the Florentine school depicts a genre scene that beautifully captures various aspects of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care. Intricately painted with tempera on panel technique, Bartolomeo di Fruosino's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke.

As we delve into this image, we are transported back in time - witnessing not only a momentous event but also gaining insights into historical perspectives on medicine and women's health. The Montauri birth tray serves as a testament to both artistic brilliance and cultural traditions surrounding childbirth. Preserved within a private collection today, this extraordinary artwork continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and narrative power.
