EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a sea snake, an extraordinary marine creature that has fascinated humans for centuries. The artwork is based on the work of Conrad Gesner, a renowned Swiss naturalist from the 16th century. Gesner's book, "Historiae animalium liber IIIII" delves into the nature of fish and aquatic animals, providing valuable insights into their existence. The unknown artist behind this masterpiece skillfully captures the essence of this mythical sea serpent with intricate details and vibrant colors. Its elongated body gracefully twists and turns, evoking a sense of awe and wonder in its viewers. With its serpentine form gliding through the water, it embodies both beauty and mystery. As we gaze upon this image from a private collection, we are transported to an era when exploration was at its peak. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring curiosity about creatures that dwell beneath the ocean's surface. Giancarlo Costa expertly presents this historical artwork to us today, ensuring that it remains accessible for all to appreciate. This magnificent depiction not only celebrates Gesner's contribution to zoology but also highlights our fascination with legendary monsters and imaginary characters throughout history. Through Giancarlo Costa's lens, we can admire both the artistry behind this piece and ponder upon our eternal quest for knowledge about Earth's diverse inhabitants – real or imagined.
