EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the medieval era, where love and rivalry intertwine in a tale of devotion. The image depicts Ms 2617 Arcitas praying to Mars, Palemon praying to Venus, and Emily praying to Diana. Each character is deeply engrossed in their plea for divine intervention. The scene exudes an air of courtly love as these three figures kneel before their respective idols. Their expressions reveal the intensity of their emotions - longing for affection, vying for attention, and hoping for favor from the gods they worship. This manuscript illustration from La Teseida by Giovanni Boccaccio captures a pivotal moment in a love triangle that unfolds over twelve cantos. It showcases the complexities of human relationships and the power dynamics at play. The temple setting adds an aura of mystique and reverence to the composition. As Arcitas prays to Mars, Palemon seeks solace from Venus, while Emily turns her hopes towards Diana. These deities symbolize different aspects of love - desire, passion, and purity respectively. Through this artwork's intricate details and delicate brushstrokes by French School artists from the 14th century preserved at Osterreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna; we are reminded of how timeless themes like rivalry and idolatry continue to resonate with us today. Overall, this enchanting print invites us into a world where romance meets judgment as characters navigate through their desires with utmost courtesy – all captured beautifully by Brid
