EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable detail of the Winchester Cathedral, specifically a ship from the 12th century. The unknown artist behind this masterpiece has ingeniously captured an important historical moment - the first known representation of a modern stern rudder. Prior to this innovation, one or two oars were used on the sides of the stern for steering. The intricate carving and attention to detail in this artwork are truly awe-inspiring. Every line and curve is meticulously crafted, bringing life to this ancient vessel. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our constant quest for improvement. Transporting ourselves back in time, we can imagine sailors navigating treacherous waters with their trusty ship equipped with this groundbreaking invention. The image evokes feelings of adventure, exploration, and resilience. Giancarlo Costa's expertise shines through in his ability to capture not only the physical attributes but also the spirit and essence of this historical artifact. His work allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and its significance in maritime history. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded that art has no boundaries when it comes to preserving our past and celebrating human achievements. This photograph invites us into a world long gone but forever imprinted on our collective memory through artistry like Giancarlo Costa's exceptional piece.
