EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Didon - Reine De Carthage, 1403" transports us to a bygone era filled with legends and noble women. Created in 1939 by the talented Master of Berrys Cleres Femmes, this artwork is part of the renowned manuscript De Claris mulieribus, translated anonymously into French as Livre des femmes nobles et renommees. Housed in the esteemed Bibliotheque nationale de France in Paris, this illustration showcases Dido (also known as Elyssa, Elissa, Elisha, Elysha or Helissa), a Phoenician princess who became the legendary founder and first queen of Carthage. In this exquisite depiction, we witness Dido's regal presence as she dons an elegant royal dress adorned with intricate details and vibrant colors. Her fair blonde hair cascades gracefully over her shoulders while she exudes both strength and beauty. The artist skillfully captures her essence as a warrior monarch through subtle nuances in her expression and posture. This photograph not only celebrates the historical significance of Dido but also pays homage to Giovanni Boccaccio's literary masterpiece that inspired it. With its gold leaf accents adding a touch of opulence to the composition, this image serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage preserved within ancient manuscripts. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Verve magazine's July-October 1939 issue, we are reminded of the enduring power held by legendary figures like Dido throughout history. It invites us to delve deeper into their stories and appreciate their contributions to our collective human narrative.
