EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from the 15th century, titled "Procession pulling a chariot" takes us back in time to an era of grandeur and mystique. The image is part of the renowned romance novel Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, attributed to Francesco Colonna and published in Venice in 1499. The scene depicts a majestic procession led by men and women adorned in elaborate attire. The women exude grace and femininity as they gracefully pull a magnificent chariot through the streets. Their presence adds an air of elegance to this historical moment. Intriguingly, amidst the procession, we notice a man playing a woodwind instrument, filling the air with enchanting melodies that complement the overall ambiance. This musical element adds depth to the visual spectacle captured within this artwork. As we delve into this piece's historical significance, it becomes evident that it represents not only Italian culture but also European unity. The presence of both Italian flags and symbols associated with the European Union reminds us of our shared heritage across borders. Preserved for centuries before being reproduced in Curiouser and Curiouser: A Catalogue of Strange Books and Curious Titles by Maggs Bros London in 1932, this print serves as a testament to its enduring allure throughout different periods. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are fortunate enough to witness this remarkable snapshot from history—a window into an age filled with opulence, music, cultural exchange, and timeless beauty.
