At least since 1338 Petrarch used to present himself in the act of reading and writing in the open air, while laying in the grass. The painter Simone Martini portrayed in the same pose the poet Virgil in the ‘Virgilio Ambrosiano’ illuminated front page, whose iconographic program was developed by Petrarch exactly in 1338: Petrarca finxit, Symon pinxit. The drawing of Vaucluse too in the Pliny the Elder MS Par. Lat. 6802, now attributed to Boccaccio, was conceived at Petrarch’s suggestion, Petrarca finxit, Iohannes pinxit. In the same way, but in Greek letters, Boccaccio copied a Dante manuscript, now in Toledo and subscribed below the portrait of Homer at the end. Both the illumination and drawings evoke a subtle relationship between Virgil and Petrarch and between Homer/Dante and Boccaccio.
