EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Adimari Cassone" a remarkable piece of art created by Scheggia, Giovanni di Ser Giovanni in 1450. The tempera on panel painting is currently housed in the Galleria dell'Accademia & Museo degli Strumenti Musicali in Florence, Tuscany, Italy. Originally part of a larger panel inserted into wooden wainscoting known as "spalliere" this artwork adorned the walls of a nuptial chamber rather than adorning the front of a wedding chest. It depicts the joyous marriage between Boccaccio Adimari and Lisa Ricasoli in 1420 or possibly Martelli-Adimari around 1440. The painting beautifully captures the essence of an Italian society celebration during the fifteenth century. It portrays not only the bride and groom but also prominent figures such as statesmen and senators from Florentine Republic. The couple stands under an ornate canopy while surrounded by exquisite gilt caskets and a courtyard backdrop. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, this Renaissance masterpiece transports viewers back to a time when weddings were grand affairs filled with pomp and splendor. The headdress worn by the bride adds to her elegance, while every brushstroke conveys love, happiness, and unity. "The Adimari Cassone" serves as both an artistic treasure from Quattrocento Italy and a testament to European history during that era. Its presence reminds us of how art can immortalize significant moments like matrimonial ceremonies for generations to come.
