EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning miniature from the 15th century, depicting the conquest of a fortified town. Taken from Giovanni Boccaccio's renowned work "Cases of noble men and women unfortunes" (De casibus), this intricate artwork is truly a masterpiece. The Italian writer's tale has been translated by Laurent de Premierfait and beautifully illuminated by the master of Dunois. The scene depicted in this miniature transports us back to an era filled with knights, battles, and epic combat. Every detail, meticulously painted by the Dunois Master, brings life to this historical moment. The scale and precision of this artwork are simply awe-inspiring. As we gaze upon this piece, we can't help but be drawn into the fortification itself - its towering walls standing strong against those seeking conquest. It serves as a reminder of both the power and vulnerability that comes with such structures during medieval times. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures every nuance in her photograph print, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of this artistic creation even centuries later. This image not only celebrates Boccaccio's literary genius but also pays homage to the rich cultural heritage preserved at Musee Conde in Chantilly, France. In conclusion, through Luisa Ricciarini's lens, we are transported into a world where history unfolds before our eyes - where bravery meets adversity on ancient battlefields within fortified towns.
