EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases plate 12 from Nova Reperta, engraved by Philip Galle, dating back to the late 16th century. The image depicts a picturesque scene of windmills in action, set against a backdrop of rolling hills and blue skies. As the blades gracefully spin in the wind, a farmer tends to his sack of corn while a miller operates the machinery with precision. A horse-drawn cart waits patiently nearby as grains are ground into flour within the towering structure. The artwork beautifully captures an era when wind power was harnessed for sustainable energy and ecological practices. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' ingenuity in utilizing natural resources to meet their needs long before modern technology emerged. Plate 12 from Nova Reperta is part of an extensive series that celebrates wonders and inventions of its time. Created after designs by Stradanus (Jan van der Straet), this particular engraving highlights the significance of windmills in agricultural communities during that period. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back centuries ago, marveling at how these magnificent structures played an integral role in grinding grains and shaping societies. This print not only preserves history but also sparks curiosity about past discoveries and innovations that have shaped our present-day world.
