EDITORS COMMENTS
This 15th-century miniature, titled "Marcia before an easel, painting her self-portrait" is a remarkable illustration from the renowned manuscript Des Cleres et nobles femmes by Giovanni Boccaccio. The delicate vellum print showcases the talent of an Italian female artist whose name remains unknown to us. In this exquisite artwork, Marcia stands gracefully before her easel, fully engrossed in capturing her own likeness on canvas. Her focused expression and poised stance reveal the dedication and passion she possesses as an artist. A mirror placed strategically beside her allows Marcia to observe herself while skillfully transferring every detail onto the painting. The intricate border surrounding the portrait adds a touch of medieval charm with its ornate floral patterns and decorative elements. This historiated illumination not only highlights Marcia's artistic prowess but also serves as a testament to the literary significance of Boccaccio's work. The vibrant colors used in this miniature bring life to Marcia's self-portrait, showcasing both her technical mastery and creative flair. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece of art, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever – where artistry meets introspection. Displayed at the New York Public Library in the USA, this extraordinary print captures our imagination and invites us into a world where artists like Marcia leave their mark through their brushstrokes and inspire generations with their creativity.
