EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art titled "Fr 599 f. 19 Woman playing a viol, from Des Cleres et Nobles Femmes". Created by the French School, this vellum manuscript is housed in the prestigious Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The image depicts a female musician from the 15th century gracefully playing her viol. Her delicate fingers glide across the strings, producing enchanting melodies that transport us back to medieval times. The woman's elegant attire reflects her noble status and adds an air of sophistication to the scene. What makes this artwork truly intriguing is the inclusion of a gorgon figure on top of the instrument. This mythical creature with its serpentine hair and piercing gaze lends an element of mystique to both the music being played and the overall composition. Originally part of Giovanni Boccaccio's works, this manuscript represents not only musical talent but also literary excellence. Its intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship are testaments to the skillful hands that brought it to life centuries ago. As we admire this photograph, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance as it offers us a glimpse into medieval culture and artistic expression.
