EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of a cassone, depicting the enthralling 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 intricate carving on the cassone panel immediately catches one's attention. The ornate chest is adorned with decorative motifs that add to its grandeur. In this particular scene, we witness a male character gesturing passionately while mounted on a majestic horse. The vibrant illustration captures both the intensity and drama of Boccaccio's narrative. Saladin, known for his military prowess during the Crusades, takes center stage as he engages with Torello of Istria—a nobleman from Boccaccio's literary masterpiece "The Decameron". This masterful composition not only highlights artistic skill but also serves as an homage to literature itself. The attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke brings life to each character and animal present within this enchanting tableau. From horses galloping through lush landscapes to farm animals adding depth to the scenery—the painting exudes vitality and energy.
