EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail from the "Allegory of Poverty" created by a follower of Giotto in the early-mid 14th century. The artwork depicts angels and a figure holding a falcon, showcasing intricate details that highlight the artist's skill. This particular sketch is based on Giottos fresco found in the Lower Basilica of the Church of San Francesco in Assisi, Italy. The drawing, housed in the Musee Conde in Chantilly, France, was featured in Bernhard Degenhart's book "Europaische Handzeichnungen" (Five Hundred Years of European Drawings) published by Atlantis-Verlag Berlin and Zurich in 1943. It beautifully showcases the fusion between medieval artistry and contemporary ink techniques. The monochrome image transports us back to both the 14th century and the forties when this print was produced. Its religious theme adds depth to its significance as it explores allegorical figures representing poverty. The delicate strokes on vellum create an ethereal atmosphere while capturing every minute detail with precision. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply appreciate historical masterpieces, this print offers a glimpse into centuries-old craftsmanship. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and how artistic expressions transcend time periods to inspire generations after generations.
