EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured woodcut print, titled "Monsters and snakes in a landscape, 1478" transports viewers to a fantastical world of mythology and enchantment. Created by the German School in the 15th century, this piece measures 28x19.2 cm and is part of a private collection. The scene depicted showcases an elevated view of a hilly landscape adorned with vibrant shades of green. A large group of monstrous creatures and snakes roam freely amidst this natural space, evoking both awe and curiosity. The artist's meticulous hand tinting adds depth and richness to the composition, bringing these mythical beings to life. With no human presence in sight, one can fully immerse themselves in the magical realm portrayed within this woodcut print. Half-human half-beast figures mingle with other fanciful creatures, creating an atmosphere that blurs the lines between reality and imagination. Published as part of Conrad von Megenberg's "Buch der Natur" (Book of Nature) by Johann Bamler in Augsburg during August 1478, this artwork represents a significant contribution to literature from that era. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece from the late 15th century, we are reminded of the enduring power that art holds to transport us beyond our everyday existence into realms where anything is possible.
