EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Color Olivi, plate 14 from Nova Reperta" takes us on a journey back in time to the late 16th century. Engraved by Philip Galle and based on the original design by Jan van der Straet (Giovanni Stradano), this artwork is part of a series that celebrates the inventions and developments of the modern age. In this particular image, we witness an important milestone in art history – the invention of oil paint. The scene unfolds within a bustling artist's studio, where a master painter guides his apprentices through the process of mixing pigments using oyster shells. With focused expressions and meticulous movements, they work together to achieve just the right hues for their masterpiece. The room is filled with various tools and materials associated with painting: easels holding canvases in progress, brushes poised for action, and jars containing different colors waiting to be utilized. Amidst this creative atmosphere stands an unfinished painting depicting St George slaying a fearsome dragon – perhaps an homage to renowned Flemish painter Van Eyck. Through this print, we are reminded of how innovations like oil paint revolutionized artistic expression during this period. It serves as both a tribute to past masters who paved the way for future generations and an inspiration for artists today who continue to push boundaries with new techniques.
