EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a meal scene page from a manuscript in French of the renowned literary work, "Decameron" by Giovanni Boccaccio, also known as Jean Boccace. Created around 1450 and enlivened by the artistic touch of the Master of Mansel, this masterpiece is housed in the Library of the Arsenal in Paris. The image transports us back to medieval times, offering a glimpse into daily life during that era. The table is adorned with various crockery and utensils, including an intricately designed knife and glassware. A woman sits at one end of the table while a young girl stands nearby, both dressed in traditional attire befitting their noble status. The illumination technique used by the Master of Mansel brings vibrancy to every detail on this page. From the meticulously painted hen on top of a platter to the sumptuous spread of meat before them, it's evident that no aspect was overlooked. This snapshot captures not only a momentary feast but also reflects Boccaccio's skillful storytelling through his written words. It serves as a testament to his contribution to Italian literature during his lifetime (1313-1375) and continues to inspire readers today. Thanks to Photo Josse for preserving this remarkable piece through their photography expertise. This print allows us all to appreciate and admire this significant historical artifact from afar.
