EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "A Scene from the Decameron" by Giovanni Boccaccio, takes us back to 15th century Italy. The image beautifully captures a moment from one of Boccaccio's most famous works, where a group of young people seek refuge in a villa's enchanting garden to escape the devastating plague that ravaged Florence. In this idyllic setting, we witness the coronation ceremony of a new King or Queen each day. Adorned with laurel crowns and surrounded by lush greenery and flowing fountains, these youths create their own utopian world filled with music and romance. Men and women come together harmoniously as musicians play instruments such as harps and lutes, filling the air with enchanting melodies. The scene exudes an ethereal quality; it is as if time stands still within this dreamlike realm. The intricate details in the woodcut bring forth the essence of Boccaccio's literary masterpiece while transporting us into his fantastical universe. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the power of art to transport us to different times and places. It serves as a testament to both Boccaccio's storytelling prowess and the artistic skill of Italian Renaissance craftsmen who brought his words to life through their delicate carvings. This print holds within it not only historical significance but also an invitation for viewers to immerse themselves in its beauty and be transported into an enchanted world where dreams become reality
