EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time from the 16th century, showcasing "Palm Reading from Chiromantia" by Andrea Corvo. The colour woodcut, created by the Italian School, is an exquisite piece of art that can be found at Fondazione Giorgio Cini in Venice, Italy. In this image, we see three individuals engrossed in the ancient practice of palm reading or chiromancy. A young man sits attentively as an older gentleman examines his hand with great concentration. Both men are dressed in traditional Renaissance attire, adding to the historical charm of the scene. The atmosphere is one of intrigue and curiosity as these friends gather for a lecture on fortune telling. The main focus lies on their hands - intricate lines and creases revealing secrets about their pasts and potential futures. The male figure wearing a hat appears to be leading the discussion while his companions listen intently. It's fascinating to witness this intimate gathering where knowledge is shared among trusted confidants. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness not only a demonstration of palmistry but also the bonds formed through shared interests during the Renaissance era. This print serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people sought answers and guidance through unconventional means like palm reading – a testament to our enduring fascination with unlocking life's mysteries.
