EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Fol. 17v, Orso e non furo mai fiumi ne stagni, from Canzoniere e Trionfi by Petrarch, dating back to around 1470. The artwork was created by an anonymous Italian School artist from the 15th century and is currently housed in the Biblioteca Queriniana in Brescia, Italy. The image depicts a mesmerizing scene filled with symbolism and beauty. In the foreground, a lady dressed in traditional costume stands gracefully amidst a lush landscape adorned with fruit trees. She wears an exquisite headdress and veil that adds to her allure. A snake slithers nearby, representing temptation or danger lurking within this idyllic setting. Meanwhile, a bird perched on a branch represents freedom or perhaps serves as a messenger of love. The castle towering in the background evokes medieval times and adds an air of mystery to the composition. It symbolizes protection or imprisonment depending on one's interpretation. This illustration accompanies Petrarch's renowned collection of poems known as Canzoniere e Trionfi. Antonio Grifo annotated and illustrated this edition published by Vindelino da Spira in Venice during the late 15th century. Through this photograph print, we are transported into Petrarch's world - where love intertwines with nature and human emotions are beautifully expressed through verse. It is truly a remarkable piece that captures both the essence of Renaissance artistry and Petrarch's poetic genius for all admirers of fine
