EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of a cassone, an ornate Italian chest, depicting the story of Saladin and Torello of Istria. Painted by the renowned Italian author and poet Giovanni Boccaccio in the 15th century, this tempera on panel artwork is housed in the Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence, Italy. The scene depicted on this intricately carved cassone panel transports viewers into a world of medieval literature and romance. The central focus is on two characters: Saladin, mounted on horseback with his hand gesturing gracefully towards Torello. Torello can be seen bowing respectfully before Saladin as they engage in conversation. The attention to detail is astounding; every element from the horses' intricate decorations to the expressive gestures of each character has been meticulously crafted. This piece not only serves as an illustration but also captures the essence of Boccaccio's famous work, "The Decameron". Through this photo print, we are reminded of Boccaccio's literary genius and his ability to transport readers into vivid worlds filled with love, adventure, and intrigue. It stands as a testament to both his talent as an author and his skill as an artist. Overall, this stunning image invites us to delve deeper into Italian Renaissance art while appreciating its connection to literature and storytelling.
