EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Argie - Fille D Adraste, 1403" by the Master of Berrys Cleres Femmes. The artist beautifully depicts Argie, a character from Greek mythology and daughter of Adraste, who is renowned for her unwavering tenderness towards her husband Polynice. The illustration is part of the manuscript De Claris mulieribus, traduction anonyme en francais (Livre des femmes nobles et renommees) by Giovanni Boccaccio. Housed in the prestigious Bibliotheque nationale de France in Paris, this masterpiece reflects the rich cultural heritage preserved within its pages. In this image, we see Argie adorned in a stunning blue dress and wearing an elegant bonnet. The attention to detail is remarkable as every brushstroke brings out her grace and poise. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of a luxurious bedchamber from the fifteenth century, this portrait transports us back in time. The use of gold leaf adds a touch of opulence to the composition while emphasizing Argie's noble status. This photograph was featured in Verve magazine during July-October 1939, showcasing its enduring appeal even decades after its creation. As we admire this print collector's treasure today, we are reminded not only of its artistic brilliance but also how mythology continues to inspire our imagination across centuries.
