EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating glimpse into the administrative world of 14th century Siena. Titled "A Camerlinguist and a tax collector in the office, Biccherna" this image showcases the cover of an accounting register from 1394, housed at the National Archive - Museo delle Tavolette de Bicherna in Siena. The scene depicts two figures engrossed in their duties within an ornate office setting. The Camerlinguist, responsible for managing financial affairs, is seen engaged in conversation with a tax collector. Their expressions convey seriousness and concentration as they navigate through piles of documents and ledgers. The artwork provides valuable insight into the economic structure and bureaucratic systems prevalent during that era. It offers viewers a chance to appreciate the meticulous record-keeping practices employed by city officials during medieval times. Created by an Italian School artist from the 14th century, this piece exemplifies both historical significance and artistic craftsmanship. The intricate details of clothing, furniture, and architectural elements transport us back to a time long gone. Preserved within Italy's Archivio di Stato in Siena, this photograph serves as a testament to our shared cultural heritage. Its presence reminds us of how art can bridge gaps between centuries while preserving invaluable glimpses into our pasts.
