EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving of an L starling, featured in the renowned book "Historia Animalium" by Conrad Gesner. Created in 1560 in Tiguri, Switzerland, this masterpiece is a testament to Gesner's contribution to natural history. The artwork is housed at the Biblioteca Nazionale Braidense in Milan, Lombardy, Italy. The intricate details and precision of the engraving highlight the artist's skill and dedication to capturing the essence of this beautiful bird. The L starling stands proudly on a branch, its feathers meticulously rendered with delicate lines and shading. Its beady eyes seem to gaze directly into our souls as it perches gracefully. Gesner's "Historia Animalium" was a groundbreaking work that aimed to document and classify various species from around the world. This particular illustration exemplifies his commitment to accuracy and scientific observation. Photographer Giancarlo Costa has expertly captured this historical artifact through his lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. His photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistry involved but also serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with nature throughout history. As we admire this image, we are transported back in time - witnessing both Gesner's passion for knowledge and Costa's talent for immortalizing art through photography.
