EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense siege of the Castle of the Amazons by Theseus, Duke of Athens, as depicted in Giovanni Boccaccio's epic poem "La Teseida". Created by a French School artist in the 14th century, this vellum manuscript showcases an extraordinary moment in medieval history. The image portrays a dramatic coastal battle scene with ships and galleons surrounding the fortress. The Amazon Queen Hypolita stands tall at her citadel, leading her fearless army against Theseus' Athenian forces. The knightly soldiers engage in a fierce clash while waves crash against the shoreline, adding to the sense of urgency and danger. Amidst this tumultuous setting lies an enchanting tale of courtly love.

The intricate details within this historiated initial manuscript are truly remarkable. Every stroke brings life to each character and ship present on this battlefield. As part of The Stapleton Collection housed at Osterreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna, Austria, this artwork holds immense historical significance.
