EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating glimpse into the past with its depiction of a "Mating scene" from Codex 212, also known as the Padovano Codice or Bible of Padua. Created by an unknown artist in the 14th century, this miniature painting offers a unique perspective on sexuality and eroticism during the Middle Ages. Set against a backdrop of intricately detailed furnishings, including a bed adorned with luxurious textiles, this scene transports us to another time and place. The figures depicted are biblical characters engaged in an intimate moment, adding depth and complexity to our understanding of religious narratives. The illumination technique used in this artwork is truly remarkable, highlighting every intricate detail with precision. The skillful brushstrokes bring life to each character's expression and body language, evoking emotions that transcend time. Housed in the Museo dell'Accademia dei Concordi in Rovigo, Italy, this piece serves as a testament to Italian artistry during the medieval period. Giancarlo Costa has expertly captured this masterpiece through his lens for all to appreciate. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how art can bridge gaps between centuries and cultures. It invites us to reflect on human connection throughout history while appreciating the talent and craftsmanship behind such timeless works.
