EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 15th century, offering a glimpse into the everyday life of a Milanese household. In this scene of morals, we witness a man and his wife engaged in their respective tasks within the warmth of their interior. The focal point is undoubtedly the crackling fireplace, where the gentleman stands, seeking solace from its comforting heat. Dressed in an elegant ensemble consisting of a red cap, simar lined with ermine, and vibrant red stockings, he exudes sophistication. Meanwhile, his wife diligently sets the table for dinner nearby. Clad in a white cap, flowing red robe, and crisp white apron that hints at her role as homemaker and nurturer of their abode. Her dedication to creating a nourishing meal is evident as she focuses on her task. The miniature painting from which this image originates resides in Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Siena. It has been beautifully handcoloured by Paul Mercuri and accompanied by insightful text written by Camille Bonnard for "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries". This exquisite artwork provides us with not only visual delight but also valuable historical insight into domestic life during this period. As we contemplate this scene frozen in time through our modern lens, it serves as a reminder of how much society has evolved over centuries while also highlighting timeless aspects such as love shared between partners and the importance of nurturing one's home.
