EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite tempera on wood painting, titled "History of Griselda: Meeting and Wedding of Gualtieri and Griselda," is a central detail from a wedding chest created by the Florentine artist Francesco di Stefano, better known as Pesellino, around 1450. The scene depicts a pivotal moment in the popular medieval tale of Griselda, as told by the renowned Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio. Griselda, a humble and obedient peasant woman, is being presented to her future husband, Gualtieri, the Duke of Milan. The couple's union is a test of Griselda's loyalty and patience, as Gualtieri puts her through a series of trials designed to prove her worthiness as a wife. In this moment, the two exchange glances, their expressions revealing a mix of curiosity, anticipation, and perhaps a hint of trepidation. Pesellino masterfully captures the essence of the narrative, using delicate brushstrokes and rich colors to bring the scene to life. The intricately carved details of the chest further enhance the visual storytelling, making this a true masterpiece of the Quattrocento period. The painting is now on display at the Carrara Academy Gallery in Bergamo, Italy, where it continues to captivate audiences with its beauty and historical significance.
