EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Frontispiece to the De Animalibus by Aristotle, a significant manuscript produced in Venice in 1476. Created on vellum by an unknown Italian artist from the 15th century, this artwork is currently housed at Bibliotheque Sainte-Genevieve in Paris, France. The image captures the essence of Aristotle's treatise on the notion of the soul and its connection to the body. The intricate illumination and attention to detail exemplify both artistic skill and intellectual depth. A duck and a bird are depicted amidst ornate decorative elements, symbolizing nature's diversity and complexity. Venice, known for its rich cultural heritage during that time period, serves as an appropriate backdrop for this masterpiece. The city's influence on European thought and philosophy is evident through this work of art. As we delve into this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness not only a remarkable manuscript but also a testament to human curiosity and exploration. It reminds us of our eternal quest for knowledge about ourselves and our place within the natural world. Archives Charmet has preserved this extraordinary piece with utmost care so that it can be appreciated by generations to come. Bridgeman Images allows us access to such treasures from history through their fine art collection.
