EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The maze of Cnossos designed by Dedale" as depicted in the artwork "Turris Babel" by Athanase Kircher. Created in Amsterdam in 1675, this piece takes us back to ancient Greece and the mythical world of Crete. The intricate labyrinth, skillfully illustrated by Kircher, is at the heart of this composition. At its center stands the fearsome Minotaur, a half-human, half-bull creature that has captivated imaginations for centuries. This legendary beast adds an air of mystery and danger to the already mesmerizing maze. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into a realm where heroes like Theseus faced their greatest challenges. Kircher's attention to detail is evident in every line and curve of his engraving. The architectural elements within the labyrinth showcase his deep understanding and appreciation for Greek culture and history. Each twist and turn invites us to explore further into its depths, beckoning us with secrets waiting to be discovered. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with mythology and our desire to unravel life's mysteries. It allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind it and the rich stories that have shaped our collective imagination throughout history.
