EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vibrant scene from the 14th century, depicting merchants of fabrics and textiles in a bustling market. The image is derived from the illuminated manuscript known as Statuto delle Corporazione dei Mercanti, which offers us a glimpse into the rich history of Bologna's textile trade during the Middle Ages. In this miniature artwork created by the talented artists of the Bolognese School, we witness an array of colorful clothes and materials proudly displayed by skilled craftsmen. The merchants, belonging to various guilds or corporations, diligently follow regulations set forth in the statute to ensure fair trade practices. The attention to detail in this manuscript illumination is truly remarkable. Each stitch and fold on these exquisite textiles comes alive through delicate brushwork and vivid pigments. It serves as a testament to both the artistry involved in textile manufacture and its significant role within Italian society at that time. As we marvel at this vertical composition captured by Santiago Ortega, it transports us back centuries ago when markets were bustling with activity and commerce was thriving. This photograph not only celebrates Italy's rich cultural heritage but also pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to preserving traditional craftsmanship.
