EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases a truly extraordinary sight - the appearance of a sea snake on the Daedalus frigate road in 1848. The unknown artist skillfully captures the awe-inspiring moment when this mythical creature emerged from the depths of the ocean, leaving sailors and onlookers astounded. The image depicts a majestic sailboat peacefully sailing through calm waters, unaware of the impending encounter with this massive sea monster. Suddenly, rising from beneath the waves, an enormous serpent-like creature emerges with its long body coiling and twisting in an otherworldly manner. Its scaly skin glistens under sunlight as it towers over the boat, dwarfing it in comparison. The sheer size and power of this sea snake are evident; its presence evokes both fear and fascination. The engraving beautifully portrays every intricate detail of this enigmatic creature's form - from its menacing eyes to its serpentine body that seems to stretch endlessly into oblivion. As we gaze upon this artwork today, we are transported back to a time when tales of legendary creatures still held sway over our imaginations. It serves as a reminder that even within our vast oceans, mysteries continue to exist beyond our comprehension. Giancarlo Costa's masterful reproduction ensures that this piece endures for generations to come, allowing us all to marvel at nature's wonders and ponder what else may lie hidden beneath the surface of our world's seas.
