EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to 14th century Italy, where we witness a scene of bustling consumerism. The artwork, titled "Italy, Millet bread" is a miniature painting by the talented Giovannino de Grassi from Tacuinum Sanitatis. Standing full length and waist up, two young women are depicted engaging in an age-old tradition of buying bread from a local bakery. The attention to detail in this piece is remarkable. The historical clothing worn by the women transports us to another era while the arch behind them adds depth and architectural beauty to the composition. A basket filled with freshly baked millet bread sits at their feet, symbolizing sustenance and nourishment. As we observe this fine art painting, it becomes evident that even centuries ago, commerce played a significant role in society. The artist skillfully captures the essence of everyday life as these two individuals engage in an exchange that has transcended time - the act of purchasing food. Through this vertical image, we gain insight into not only historical practices but also appreciate the artistic mastery displayed by de Grassi. This photograph print serves as a window into our past and reminds us of how much history can be preserved through illustration and painting.
