EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1628 showcases a mesmerizing firework display that truly takes the viewer back in time. The image captures an explosive moment, as a figure of a dragon breathing fire is attached to a rocket. This unique spectacle becomes even more thrilling as the rocket is tied to a rope stretched between two magnificent buildings in Rouen. The woodcut, taken from Jean Leurechon's "Recreations mathematiques" perfectly encapsulates the excitement and wonder of fireworks during this era. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with pyrotechnics throughout history. The intricate details of the dragon figure and its fiery breath demonstrate the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating such elaborate displays using gunpowder technology. The artist's ability to capture movement and intensity through this woodcut medium is truly remarkable. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we can't help but imagine the awe-inspiring sight and sound that would have accompanied this breathtaking event. The juxtaposition of ancient architecture against modern explosives creates an intriguing contrast, reminding us of our enduring desire for innovation and entertainment. This print not only offers us a glimpse into historical celebrations but also ignites our imagination, transporting us back centuries ago when fireworks were at their infancy yet still capable of leaving spectators spellbound.
