EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting illustration transports us back to the 14th century, where we find the esteemed Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) in the tranquility of his garden. Surrounded by lush greenery, a crystal-clear fountain, and an abundance of wildlife, Boccaccio is engrossed in the creation of his literary masterpiece, "The Decameron." Published for the first time in 1353, "The Decameron" is a collection of one hundred tales, each told over ten days by ten storytellers who have taken refuge in a secluded villa to escape the Black Death. Boccaccio's work is renowned for its wit, humor, and insight into human nature, making it a cornerstone of Italian literature. The illustration captures the essence of Boccaccio's creative process, as he sits amongst the natural beauty of his garden, which is teeming with life. Deer and rabbits graze peacefully, while the gentle sound of the fountain adds to the serene atmosphere. The author's focus is unwavering, as he jots down his thoughts on parchment, his quill poised and ready. Boccaccio's garden is not only a symbol of his inspiration but also a testament to the rejuvenating power of nature during a time of darkness and despair. This exquisite illustration invites us to delve deeper into the world of Boccaccio and his timeless stories, reminding us of the enduring allure of literature and the beauty of nature.
