EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of knowledge being passed down from one generation to another. The focal point of the image is a beautifully preserved manuscript titled "De Senectute" by Cicero, dating back to 1401. Its delicate pages hold centuries' worth of wisdom and insight. The unknown artist skillfully portrays this transmission of knowledge through visual storytelling. A wise teacher, possibly a member of a religious order, sits in an ornate chair with the manuscript open before them. They are engaged in conversation with a young student, their offspring perhaps, who listens intently while holding onto every word spoken. The setting appears to be within the walls of an ancient school or library adorned with books and scrolls, symbolizing education and intellectual growth. This scene serves as a powerful reminder that learning is not confined to classrooms but extends beyond formal institutions. The photograph evokes feelings of reverence for literature and highlights the importance of preserving our cultural heritage. It reminds us that knowledge is timeless and can bridge gaps between generations. Giancarlo Costa's expert capture ensures that this momentous exchange will continue inspiring future learners for years to come. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Cicero's profound words: "To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. "
