EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from Giovanni Boccaccio's renowned work, "Decameron". In this illustration for news 53, we witness a woman encountering two horsemen while inside the confines of a room. The intricate engraving, created by an Italian artist in the 16th century, beautifully depicts the essence of this encounter. The image exudes an air of mystery and intrigue as the woman stands at the center of attention. Her expression suggests surprise or curiosity as she meets these two horsemen unexpectedly. The room itself is adorned with ornate details, reflecting the artistic style prevalent during that era. Boccaccio's "Decameron" is known for its collection of one hundred tales told by ten individuals seeking refuge from the Black Death pandemic in 14th-century Italy. This particular illustration represents news 3 from day 6 within Boccaccio's masterpiece. The print not only serves as a visual representation but also provides insight into themes such as sexuality and encounters between individuals during medieval times. It offers viewers a glimpse into both historical context and literary significance. Preserved in private collection, this engraving continues to captivate audiences centuries after its creation. Its timeless appeal lies in its ability to transport us back to an era filled with stories and adventures waiting to be discovered within Boccaccio's imaginative world.
