EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 17th century showcases the mythical creature known as a unicorn. Created by an unknown artist, this print is believed to be based on the work of Athanasius Kircher, a renowned Jesuit scholar and orientalist. The unicorn has long been a symbol of legend and mythology, representing purity, grace, and untamed beauty. In this artwork, its majestic presence is captured with intricate details and delicate lines. The artist skillfully portrays the ethereal nature of this imaginary character. As we gaze upon this enchanting image, we are transported to a world where mythical creatures roam freely. The unicorn's single horn stands tall atop its head, shimmering in golden hues. Its mane flows gracefully in the wind while its eyes reflect wisdom beyond our comprehension. This engraving not only celebrates the fantastical realm but also serves as a reminder of ancient beliefs and traditions. It evokes thoughts of paganism and polytheism - religions that once held sway over vast populations. Giancarlo Costa's preservation of this historical masterpiece allows us to delve into centuries-old myths and legends. Through his lens as an art finder, he invites us to explore the realms where reality intertwines with imagination. Whether displayed in private collections or shared publicly for all to admire, this print continues to captivate viewers with its timeless allure. It reminds us that even within our modern world filled with technology and science, there will always be room for wonderment and belief in magical beings like unicorns
