EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time from centuries ago. The engraving, created by an unknown artist in the 16th century, depicts a couple engrossed in a game of dice. Taken from "Historia de gentis septemtrionalis" by Olaus Magnus and published in Rome in 1560, this image offers a glimpse into the daily life of people during that era. The couple's expressions reveal their intense focus on the game as they eagerly await the outcome of their roll. Their surroundings suggest that they are playing within the confines of a hostel or inn, perhaps seeking entertainment during their travels. Despite being separated by time and culture, this engraving reminds us that games have always been an integral part of human existence. Whether played for leisure or as a means to pass the time, games like dice have transcended generations. Giancarlo Costa has skillfully preserved this piece of history through his expert reproduction technique. By sharing this image with us today, he allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. This print serves as a reminder that even though times may change, certain aspects of human nature remain constant throughout history - including our desire for amusement and connection through play.
