EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 16th century, where we are introduced to Giambattista Basile, a renowned Italian author. Known for his famous work "The Pentamerone". Basile's literary contributions have left an indelible mark on Italian folklore and storytelling. In this portrait, captured by Jacobus Pecini in 1641 and engraved by Nicolaus Perrey, we see Basile's dignified countenance staring directly at the viewer. His piercing eyes seem to hold within them centuries of wisdom and imagination. Basile's stories were written in Neapolitan dialect, adding a unique flavor to his tales that resonated with readers across Italy. The Pentamerone is a collection of fifty fairy tales that delve into themes of love, magic, morality, and human nature. These timeless stories continue to captivate audiences even today. As we gaze upon this vertical image, we cannot help but appreciate the historical significance of Giambattista Basile's legacy as an influential writer during the Renaissance period. Ken Welsh has masterfully preserved this piece of history through his photography skills. This print serves as a reminder of the power of storytelling and its ability to transcend time and culture. It invites us into the world created by Giambattista Basile – a world filled with enchantment and wonder that continues to inspire generations after generations.
