The Dream of Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating chromolithographic print that transports us back to the 14th century. Created by Franz Kellerhoven, this artwork is based on a painting found in the cloister of the Campo Santo in Pisa. The print, featured in Paul Lacroix's book "The Arts of the Middle Ages and at the Period of the Renaissance" beautifully captures an idyllic scene filled with symbolism and enchantment. In this dream-like setting, we see a female falconer dressed in vibrant medieval attire. She gracefully holds her falcon while playing a dulcimer, a stringed instrument popular during that era. A charming cherub accompanies her, adding to the ethereal atmosphere. Surrounded by lush greenery and accompanied by her loyal dog, she seems lost in reverie as birds soar above her head. This image evokes feelings of leisure and tranquility within a medieval garden. The artist skillfully incorporates various elements such as music, nature, and animals to convey deeper meanings. Through this artwork, Orcagna invites us to ponder upon life's dreams and aspirations. "The Dream of Life" serves as both an exquisite piece of artistry from the 19th century and a window into medieval times. It reminds us that even centuries apart, human desires for beauty, harmony, and connection remain timeless.
