EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving titled "Liberal Arts: Arithmetic - in 'Margarita Philosophica'" by Gregor Reisch. Created in 1517, this masterpiece is a part of the private collection and offers a glimpse into the world of knowledge and allegory. The artwork depicts a scene that symbolizes the importance of arithmetic within philosophy. Reisch, a renowned mathematician himself, beautifully captures the essence of mathematics as one of the liberal arts. The intricate details and precision in this engraving highlight its significance as both an educational tool and a work of art. "Margarita Philosophica" was published in Bale during the Renaissance period when humanist ideas were flourishing. It served as an encyclopedia covering various subjects including grammar, rhetoric, music, astronomy, geometry, and more. This particular section focuses on arithmetic's role within these disciplines. Giancarlo Costa has skillfully captured this historical piece through his lens while preserving its originality and depth. Through his photography skills, he allows us to appreciate Reisch's artistic vision even centuries later. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we are reminded not only of the beauty found within mathematical concepts but also how they intertwine with other areas of knowledge. It serves as a testament to humanity's pursuit for understanding and enlightenment throughout history.
