EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative portrait, the Italian writer Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) is depicted in contemplative repose, a quill pen in hand and a stack of parchment scrolls at his side. Known as the father of the Italian novel and one of the greatest writers of the European Middle Ages, Boccaccio's most famous work is "Il Decameron," a collection of one hundred tales told by a group of young Florentines during the Black Death epidemic. Born in Certaldo, Tuscany, Boccaccio was educated in Avignon and later in Naples, where he became a close friend of King Robert of Anjou. His literary career began with the composition of various scholarly works, including biographies and commentaries on classical texts. However, it was with "Il Decameron" that Boccaccio achieved enduring fame. The work, which showcases the wit, intelligence, and inventiveness of its characters, is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. This exquisite print, produced by the Auber firm in Italy, captures the essence of Boccaccio's literary genius. The artist has skillfully rendered the writer's thoughtful expression and the intricate details of his study, including the bookshelves filled with ancient tomes and the richly decorated ceiling. The muted colors and delicate shading create a sense of intimacy and depth, inviting the viewer to delve into the world of Boccaccio's imagination. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are reminded of the power of the written word to transport us to new realms of thought and emotion. Through his tales of love, comedy, and adventure, Boccaccio continues to captivate readers around the world, and this beautiful print serves as a fitting tribute to his enduring legacy.
