EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating front cover of "Chiaqlira reading tales to a sewing party" transports us back in time to the enchanting world of Italian fairy tales. This exquisite engraving, created by an anonymous 17th-century Italian artist, graces the front cover of The Pentamerone of Giambattista Basile from 1742. In this scene illuminated by candlelight, Chiaqlira captivates her audience with her storytelling prowess. As she sits amidst a group of women engaged in their sewing tasks, her animated gestures and expressive face bring the fairy tales to life. The women listen intently, their eyes fixed on Chiaqlira as they hang onto every word that spills from her lips. Giambattista Basile's collection of fairy tales, known as Lo cunto or The Tale-teller's Tales, is renowned for its imaginative narratives and rich cultural heritage. Through this print, we catch a glimpse into the magical realm where these stories were shared and cherished. The intricate details captured by Ken Welsh highlight not only the beauty of this artwork but also its historical significance. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people sought solace in stories and found joy in communal gatherings such as sewing parties. This remarkable print serves as a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and its ability to transport us across time and space.
