EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the opening scene of Boccaccio's renowned work, Decamerone (Decameron), as imagined by artist James Dromgole Linton in the early 20th century. The image transports us back to 14th-century Italy, immersing us in a world of literature and drama. In this scene, we see a solitary male figure leaning on his elbow, dressed in elaborate period costume. His vibrant attire, consisting of tights and a waistcoat, adds a splash of color against the cream background. With great attention to detail, Linton brings Boccaccio's words to life through his artistry. The man's posture suggests deep contemplation or perhaps an intense moment within the play being performed. As he lies on his front with one arm supporting him, we can almost feel the weight of his thoughts and emotions. Linton skillfully captures both the essence of Boccaccio's storytelling and the spirit of 14th-century Italy in this portrait. Through this print from The Studio Volume 20 publication by The Studio Ltd. , London & New York in 1900s, viewers are invited into a world where literature intertwines with visual artistry. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are reminded not only of Boccaccio's literary genius but also of Linton's ability to bring stories to life through his brushstrokes. This print is truly a testament to their enduring legacies as masters
