EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving of "The Capricorn" from the renowned work "Historiae animalium" by Konrad Gesner. Created in Tiguri, Switzerland in 1555, this piece is now housed in the Biblioteca Nazionale Braidense in Milan, Italy. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship of this unknown artist from the 16th century are truly awe-inspiring. The capricorn, a mythical creature with the body of a goat and the tail of a fish, is depicted with great precision and skill. Every line and curve beautifully captures its unique form. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to an era when natural history was still being explored and documented. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with animals throughout history and our constant quest for knowledge about the world around us. Giancarlo Costa's expert photography allows us to appreciate every delicate stroke made by the original artist. Through his lens, we can admire not only the artistry but also gain insight into how people perceived these fantastical creatures centuries ago. This print is more than just an image; it is a testament to human curiosity and artistic expression. It invites us to delve into the realms of imagination while appreciating both nature's wonders and humanity's creative endeavors.
