EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Renaissance art known as the "Birth Plate (Desco da Parto) Obverse: Boy playing with a dog". Housed in the esteemed Collection of Staatliche Museen in Berlin, this Italian masterpiece is a testament to the skill and creativity of the Florentine School. Painted using oil on wood, this fine art image transports viewers back to an era when birth trays held great significance in Italian culture. The deschi da parto, or birth salvers, were traditionally used to present gifts during childbirth celebrations. This particular plate features a delightful scene depicting a young boy engrossed in play with his loyal canine companion. The artist behind this exquisite work remains unknown; however, its style bears resemblance to that of Masaccio (1401-1428), one of the most influential painters of his time. The attention to detail and vibrant colors bring life and joy to this genre painting. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of the artistic brilliance but also the historical importance these birth plates held for families during Renaissance Italy. It serves as a poignant reminder that art has always played an integral role in capturing moments both significant and mundane throughout human history.
