EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork "Cassandre - Fille De Priam, 1403" by the Master of Berrys Cleres Femmes. Inspired by Greek mythology, this piece depicts Cassandra, the daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy. In a twist of fate, Apollo grants her the ability to foresee future events but curses her with eternal disbelief from those around her after she rejects his advances. The illustration is taken from the manuscript "De Claris mulieribus" a French translation of Giovanni Boccaccio's "Livre des femmes nobles et renommees". This precious manuscript is housed in the esteemed Bibliotheque nationale de France in Paris. In this portrait, Cassandra gazes downward with an air of melancholy as she contemplates her cursed gift. Her blue dress complements her feminine allure while gold leaf accents add a touch of opulence to the scene. The intricate hairstyle perfectly captures the fashion trends prevalent during that era. This print transports us back to the 15th century and offers a glimpse into both ancient mythology and historical artistry. It serves as a reminder that even those blessed with extraordinary abilities can face immense challenges when their truths are not believed or valued.
