EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a ship navigating through the treacherous dangers of the sea. In this extraordinary scene, a demon has seized hold of the bow, symbolizing the constant threat and temptation that lurks in these perilous waters. However, on the left side of the image, God manifests himself as a powerful force against evil. The engraving is taken from "The Great Calendar and Compost of the Shepherds" published in Troyes in 1491 by an unknown French artist. It showcases intricate details and masterful craftsmanship typical of 15th-century art. The composition evokes a sense of awe and wonder as it explores themes such as good versus evil, divine intervention, and human struggle against adversity. The ship itself serves as both a transport vehicle for its passengers and a metaphorical vessel representing mankind's journey through life's challenges. Amidst this chaotic scene, an anchor can be seen symbolizing stability and hope amidst turbulent times. Additionally, angelic figures are scattered throughout the image, reminding viewers that celestial beings watch over us even in our darkest moments. Giancarlo Costa expertly captures this profound artwork with his lens to preserve its beauty for generations to come. This mesmerizing print invites contemplation on universal themes while showcasing the remarkable talent of artists from centuries past.
