FLYING FISH, 1594 - A Glimpse into the Adventurous World of Italian Explorer Girolamo Benzonis
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1541, when Italian explorer Girolamo Benzonis embarked on a daring journey in West Indian waters. The engraving, created by Theodor de Bry in 1594, vividly captures a remarkable encounter between nature and human exploration. In this scene, we witness an extraordinary phenomenon as flying fish desperately attempt to escape their predators. In their frantic flight through the air, some unfortunate fish find themselves landing on the deck of Benzonis' ship. The engraving beautifully portrays these delicate creatures suspended mid-air with their vibrant wings spread wide. Girolamo Benzonis was among the courageous explorers who ventured into uncharted territories during the Age of Discovery. His caravel sailing ship served as his vessel for discovering new lands and encountering diverse wildlife along his path. The artwork's intricate details transport us back to a time when maritime exploration was at its peak. It serves as a testament to both man's curiosity and nature's resilience. This print from Granger Art on Demand is not only visually stunning but also offers valuable insights into historical events that shaped our understanding of the world. It allows us to appreciate both the beauty of nature and humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge in an era long gone by.
