EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a woodcut depiction of "Troylus and Creseyde" by Geoffrey Chaucer, created by the English School in the 16th century. The artwork, part of a private collection, beautifully captures the essence of this tragic love story set amidst the backdrop of the Trojan War. The woodcut print is an exquisite example of early printing techniques, utilizing 15th-century woodcuts from Caxton's Pynson edition of 1526. Its intricate details and delicate border add to its medieval charm, transporting viewers back to a time when romance and tragedy intertwined. Chaucer's poem tells the tale of Troylus and Creseyde, two lovers whose lives are torn apart by war and betrayal. Their story is steeped in emotion and explores themes such as love, loyalty, and fate. It draws inspiration from Boccaccio's works while incorporating Middle English language that adds depth to its poetic beauty. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we can't help but be captivated by the couple at its center. Their expressions convey both longing and despair as they navigate their ill-fated relationship within the besieged city walls of Troy. This print not only serves as a visual representation of Chaucer's masterpiece but also stands as a testament to early English literature and printing practices. It reminds us that even centuries later, these timeless stories continue to resonate with audiences worldwide.
