EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the enchanting city of Ferrara in 1928. The image showcases the magnificent Ducal Palace, a medieval fortress that underwent a remarkable transformation into the opulent residence of the Este family during the Renaissance. Originally published in "The Essays of Michael, Lord of Montaigne" translated by John Florio, this illustration beautifully captures the architectural grandeur and historical significance of Castello Estense. Standing tall against a backdrop of rolling hills and clear skies, it exudes an air of strength and elegance. The intricate engravings on its exterior walls tell tales from centuries past, whispering secrets only they have witnessed. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported to a time when knights roamed these halls and nobles reveled in their luxurious surroundings. This print is not just a window into history; it is also an homage to Michel de Montaigne's literary legacy. It was featured in "The Bookman - Special Christmas Number 1928" reminding us that art can transcend mediums and unite different forms of expression. As we admire this stunning piece captured by an unknown creator, let us marvel at how architecture can shape our understanding of culture and heritage. The Ducal Palace stands as both a testament to Ferrara's rich history and an invitation for future generations to explore its timeless beauty.
