EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a woodcut from the 1473 edition of Boccaccio's "De Claris Mulieribus" featuring the renowned Greek lyric poet, Sappho. The image depicts Sappho surrounded by musical instruments, highlighting her deep connection to music and poetry. Sappho, who flourished around 600 B. C. , is considered one of the greatest poets of ancient Greece. Her lyrical verses were often accompanied by the enchanting melodies produced by instruments like the lute, which she holds delicately in her hands in this woodcut. Printed at Ulm in 1473, this historical artwork beautifully captures both the medieval aesthetic and Sappho's significance as a female poet during that time period. It serves as a testament to her enduring legacy and influence on subsequent generations. The woodcut emphasizes not only Sappho's talent but also her role as an inspiration for women throughout history. By including her in his collection "On Famous Women". Giovanni Boccaccio recognizes Sappho's exceptional contribution to literature and celebrates her alongside other notable female figures. This print is a remarkable piece that transports viewers back to ancient Greece while honoring an extraordinary woman whose words continue to resonate with audiences today.
