EDITORS COMMENTS
The Decameron par Salvatore Postiglione (1861-1906) captures the essence of 14th-century Italy in this vibrant and captivating oil on canvas. Measuring 100x151, this masterpiece from 1906 is now housed in a private collection, showcasing the talent of Postiglione. The painting transports us to a medieval period filled with elegance and pleasure. A man and woman are depicted, their costumes reflecting the fashion of the time. The man holds a lute, a popular music instrument during that era, while they both enjoy the serene beauty of nature by a tranquil lake shore. This artwork pays homage to Boccaccio's renowned literary work 'The Decameron, ' written between 1348 and 1353. It was during this tumultuous period that Giovanni Boccaccio penned his collection of stories set against the backdrop of the Black Death pandemic. Postiglione's skillful brushstrokes bring life to every detail - from the delicate plants adorning the landscape to the expressions on their faces. The artist masterfully captures joy as seen through their smiles, inviting viewers into an enchanting world where art meets literature. As we admire this trecento-inspired piece, we can't help but appreciate how it seamlessly blends historical context with artistic expression. This print by Bridgeman Images allows us to immerse ourselves in an era long past while celebrating timeless themes such as love for nature and music.
