EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The dream of life" a mesmerizing fresco by Orcagna, dating back to the 14th century. Located in the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, this artwork is a true masterpiece of the Italian School. The image depicts various elements that evoke deep contemplation and symbolism. In the foreground, we see a young girl engaged in conversation with a pregnant woman, representing communication and connection across generations. A musician playing an instrument adds harmony and melody to this dreamlike scene. Meanwhile, an angel hovers above them, symbolizing protection and guidance. The composition also features a housewife immersed in music, highlighting the importance of creativity and expression within everyday life. Surrounding these figures are angels and seraphs, further emphasizing the ethereal nature of dreams. The medium-aged woman at the center exudes confidence as she embraces her role as both dreamer and interpreter of dreams. This portrayal reflects onirism or dreamtime—a state where reality merges with imagination. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography captures every intricate detail of this enchanting fresco while preserving its historical significance. Through his lens, viewers can immerse themselves in this dreamy atmosphere filled with hope, contemplation, and wonder.
